Introduction
Greetings...
We have all heard the phrases like...
“If you will open your eyes you can see.”
He went into that with his eyes closed or wide open.”
I don’t think anyone would disagree that we should go into everything with “Open Eyes.”
Whether business, war, research, or anything.
There’s an interesting account of wherein Elisha prays for his servant to have “open eyes.”
The king of Syria had tried several times to ambush the king of Israel.
Each time Elisha told the king of Israel of the plot and it was not accomplished.
The king of Syria got upset and found out Elisha was the one prophesying against him and he had an army surround the city where Elisha was staying.
When Elisha and his servant saw the army the servant was scared but Elisha told him their army was greater and then prayed...
Today this is a great need within the church the world over.
We need “Open Eyes” to see, but why?
God Demands Open Eyes
Pleasing God requires open eyes.
If we want to please our God we must have open eyes towards our God.
If our eyes are closed our “real enemy” Satan will be able to sneak up without notice.
Eph

If our eyes are closed to righteousness or to the devil we will fail in this life to be what we should.
So the real question then is, “what do we need our eyes open to see?”
Christian Open Eyes Will See...
The extreme danger of sin.
Satan is prowling and looking for the one whom he can destroy and we all struggle with sin.
We all struggle with
Sin isn’t something to be “indifferent” about.
Christians need to have open eyes to the extreme dangers of sin and therefore...
The opportunities around them.
Because we know of the dangers of sin we see the lost state of souls and are seeking opportunities to teach the “soul saving” gospel of our Lord and Savior.
Because we know of the dangers of sin in this world, we cannot hide our heads in the sand and ignore sin and its consequences.
To many in the church today think its ok to just ignore the dangers of “change agents” in the name of “just getting along.”
We can’t be afraid to call sin “sin” and point out the pain and destruction is causes, even if it hits close to home.
If this means calling out names, then so be it.
If this means calling out specific sin then so be it.
1 Cor
Christians must see the opportunity and try their best to “remove the leaven” from the lost soul or the church.
Summery
Conclusion
If our eyes are closed, we will never see the danger of sin until it is too late and the damage is done by the fiery darts of Satan.
Let’s make certain our eyes are always open and we are vigilant to see the opportunities that are there for us to notice.
