Spiritual Sight leads to Spiritual Strength

Our Need for Supernatural Sight

Why do we struggle to see?
-Sin / Spiritual Opposition
-Fear

Why could Elisha see?
-Time with Elijah
-Time with the Lord

Learning to See
1. SEE THE LORD

Don’t Be Overwhelmed by the Enemy’s Attacks
-The enemy surrounds and is prowling and roaring.
-The enemy comes at night, when we’re not seeing well.
-The enemy seems bigger and more overwhelming than it actually is.

Be Overwhelmed by God’s Power and Presence
-He is at Work, even when we don’t see it or feel it.
-He is Greater than any enemy we could ever face.
-He is Over All, and Holds All Things Together.
-No matter what overwhelms you, nothing can go above or beyond God’s power, glory, and love.

“I am overwhelmed!”🙈😭 …
“You better believe I am!” 🎉🙏

Overwhelmed by God’s Grace
-Preach the Gospel to yourself
-God’s Word and Prayer
-Our need for others…and a nap & snack

2. SEE OTHERS

People Made in God's Image
-God changes how we view others.
-Be a “There you are” person, not a “Here I am” person.

People with a Past AND a Future
-We never fully know what a person is facing.
-We never know what a family or member is going through (or has gone through previously).
-What we see now isn’t the end of the story.

“God, help me see people not for who and where they are right now, but for who and where You’ve created them to be in the future, both in this life and eternity.”
