Perception is key to sight. Some things may not be in plain view but can be sighted and that's a function of perception. You can chose to see a glass of water half filled or half empty. It's all about perception.
Twelve of the smartest men in Israel were sent to spy out Canaan. Today, they would have been undercover agents, guys trained in the art of disguise, they know when and how to disappear without a trace. What's my point? These twelve guys were the smartest of the lot in my opinion!
But being smart is different from being spiritual.
The 12 guys spied the promised land and came back with differing reports. One common ground however was the fact that the land is good! Flowing with milk and honey. While 10 believed they can't take the land, 2 believed they can. They all saw the same things physically but they saw differently. When you tune up your senses as against your spirit, you will see wrong. All your eyes would see are the physical facts around you that suggest to you the impossibility of your goal. But if you see with the eyes of the Spirit, though the physical limitations abound, your eyes will see the victory ahead, making the physical obstacles of no consequence.
Zig Ziglag said "if you must reach a goal, you must first see the reaching in your mind before it can happen in reality.
To what viewing range are your eyes tuned?Do your eyes see the vision of the Invisible or its stuck to ephemeral sights?
10 guys said they are not able because of what they 'saw' and how they perceived themselves. 2 guys said they can! And both parties got what they wanted.Your sight influences your confessions and your confessions form your experience. So, what you see is what you get!
The 10 guys never entered Canaan, for the strategy that conquers Canaan isn't physical like they thought. The remaining 2 did! For they worked by the principles of God, understanding that the spiritual controls the physical.
Friends, let's ignite the light of God's words on our inside, for without it, we can't see beyond our naked eyes. The word gives inSIGHT,i.e SIGHT FROM WITHIN. That's what makes you 'see' stuffs even when your eyes are closed!
So what do you see? Seeing is Receiving.
