Beloved, I am glad to share with you today on the characteristics of spiritual vision and knowledge, and on what God does for you to access to spiritual knowledge.
The spiritual vision is among things that the Almighty God grants us in response to prayer.
He makes us able to see things that an ordinary person who is not praying can’t see.
Let’s keep that blessing for our advantage, and find the way to provide advice around, to our neighbor.
A –CHARACTERISTICS OF SPIRITUAL VISION
- It is an answer to prayer
2 Kings 6:17 Then Elisha made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord, let his eyes be open so that he may see. And the Lord made the young man’s eyes open; and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round Elisha.
- Afflictions prepare to spiritual vision
Job 42: 5 Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.
- Purity of heart is essential to spiritual vision
Matthew 5:8 Happy are the clean in heart: for they will see God.
- Believers only possess spiritual vision
John 14:19 A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.
- The Holy Spirit is the author of spiritual vision
John 16:14-15 14 He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you. 15 Everything which the Father has is mine: that is why I say, He will take of what is mine and will make it clear to you.
- Spiritual vision uses the faith telescope
Hebrews 11:27 By faith he went out of Egypt, not being turned from his purpose by fear of the wrath of the king; for he kept on his way, as seeing him who is unseen.
B- CHARACTERISTICS OF SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE
- It’s a reason of glory
Jeremiah 9:23 This is the word of the Lord: Let not the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the strong man in his strength, or the man of wealth in his wealth:
Jeremiah 31:34 And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evildoing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.
- It’s obtained through a personal relationship with God
Hosea 6:3 And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
- Obedience is one necessary condition to obtain spiritual knowledge
John 7:16-17 16 Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me. 17 If any man is ready to do God’s pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from–from God or from myself.
- It liberate soul from any error
John 8:31-32 31 Then Jesus said to the Jews who had faith in him, If you keep my word, then you are truly my disciples; 32 And you will have knowledge of what is true, and that will make you free.
- It leads to eternal life
John 3:16 For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.
John 17:3 And this is eternal life: to have knowledge of you, the only true God, and of him whom you have sent, even Jesus Christ.
Philippians 3:10 That I may have knowledge of him, and of the power of his coming back from the dead, and a part with him in his pains, becoming like him in his death;
Colossians 1:10 Living uprightly in the approval of the Lord, giving fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;

PRAYER OF ACCEPTANCE OF JESUS CHRIST AS LORD AND PERSONAL SAVIOR
I now invite anyone who wants to become a new creation by walking in the truth, to pray with me as follows :
Lord Jesus, I have long walked in the lusts of the world ignoring your love for humans. I acknowledge that I have sinned against you and ask forgiveness for all my sins, because today I have decided to give you my life by taking you as my Lord and personal Savior. I acknowledge that you died on the cross of Calvary and that you rose from the dead for me.
I am now saved and born again by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lead me each day to eternal life you give to all who obey your Word. Reveal to me and strengthen my heart and my faith so that your light may shine in my life right now.
Thank you, Lord Jesus, for accepting me in your divine family so that I too can contemplate the wonders of your kingdom.
I will now choose a nearby waterpoint to baptize myself by immersion, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
To you all adoration, power, and glory, now and forever and ever. Amen!
May the Almighty God bless you in abundance.
David Feze, Servant of the Almighty God.
