We have not had the full picture of what to do next, but this is changing as missing pieces are coming into place. God is bringing a new level of wisdom and understanding to you. Your ability to hear the Lord is going to take a sudden acceleration this year.

Get ready to see an overflow of things that will come back to you that you thought were lost.” For the Lord of Restoration says, “I am not just putting you back to your original place. I am placing you in a position where your enemy will regret that he ever stole from you because of the bounty of the harvest that is coming!”
Todd Brewer/ Patricia King2019 year that you hear it 2020 year that you see it. the year of sight NOT that. it’s about clarity. “we will see the new thing.” - 2019 and 2020 were close partners
The full picture For we know in part and we prophesy in part, but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. NIV God is releasing “completeness” as revelation and deeper understanding are starting this year. We have not had the full picture of what to do next, but this is changing as missing pieces are coming into place. God is bringing a new level of wisdom and understanding to you. Your ability to hear the Lord is going to take a sudden acceleration this year.

“If what you see is all that you see you don’t see all that there is to see.”

Wouldn’t it be so awesome for this all to make sense. To finally see what you’ve been feeling?
Paul engages the church at Ephesus with the prayer, the tool, with an activation if you would. He starts off telling them you already have everything need.
Ephesians 1:3 NKJV
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,
vs. 4 chosen
vs. 5 we’ve been adopted
vs. 7 sins forgiven
vs. 11 we have an inheritance
vs. 13 sealed w the Holy Spirit
These are basic facts. You need to KNOW this so I can SHOW you this! But if you don’t look with the wrong right eye
Ephesians 1:17–18 NKJV
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 1:18 NKJV
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Ephesians 1:17–18 The Message
17 But I do more than thank. I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, 18 your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers,
Ephesians 1:17–18 NKJV
17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, 18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
I want to bring the magnifier of God to this moment to shine on you. In the middle of the major shift that the world is under, God’s doing it with you in mind and some of you will miss because you will continue to slumber.
Ephesians 5:14 NKJV
14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light.”

You can’t see in when you’re sleep!!!!

Ephesians 1:18 NKJV
18 the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
Understanding
NKJV “the eyes of your understanding”
grk “comprehension”
How useless is to know something but don’t understand what you know.
took accounting in highschool. It was probably one of the hardest classes I took. Old teacher. He did his taxes every year. Probably never had a computer in his life. I haven’t used accounting since then.
Vs.
Joe’s friend Gary. Gary was an odd-fellow. He loved to watch jeopardy. He was the couch champion. he knew stuff he didn’t know how he knew it. Gary had a high IQ. but he graduated w a B. He didn’t go straight through school. He took good long breaks. Now he’s a lawyer.
app: pay attention to the stuff you had to learn or are having to learn or didn’t want to learn. ask God to open you eye there
Note: Some stuff you just have suffer through some things!!!!
God was leading Gary in a path.
When God opens eyes of your heart, He puts in places, puts you with people, exposes you to things you don’t realize you will need.

An Unpopular Message

You’ve got to grow up to get it!
Colossians 1:9–10 ESV
9 And so, from the day we heard, we have not ceased to pray for you, asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;
col 1:9-10
“being fruitful”
pruning
crushing
refiner’s fire
Joseph in prision
Look what happens when you keep growing but don’t have evidence
Matthew 18:19–20 NKJV
19 “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”
Matthew 21:18–19 NKJV
18 Now in the morning, as He returned to the city, He was hungry. 19 And seeing a fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it but leaves, and said to it, “Let no fruit grow on you ever again.” Immediately the fig tree withered away.
matt 18:19,20
Matthew 21:18 NKJV

Open my eyes before it’s too late!
1 Chronicles 12:32 NKJV
32 of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;
David is about to be installed as king. Issachar was the only tribe of all the tribes that understood what was happening. They could see beyond what they saw.

Q1: what good is it to know something but not how to apply what you know you know?
Q2: conversely, what good is it to know which way to go and not know what to do?

I want to focus here in coming weeks. Could God have us sitting in our homes for however many weeks for HIM to wash over us.
The president used the phrase “wash over us” I think Father wants more than Corona to wash over. He wants His love to do the washing. And that same love to to open our hearts. Warning: You have a great time to Netflix and chill. Hulu and wifi is the only thing that washes.
1:18 hope The Greek word used here, elpis, refers in this context to the fullness of salvation that believers will experience at Christ’s return (see and note). Paul highlights three blessings the believers can expect: hope for the future, God’s claim on them as His inheritance, and the great power of God Himself at work on their behalf.
