from the last 101 power hours that we've done for those of you who have been with us the full time or have joined recently um i meant to ask yesterday but i forgot do you have a highlight what is your highlight i mean you guys can tell us but you you know commenting do you have a highlight or an episode that sticks out um to you that you just like if i could relive that power hour a couple of more times that would just be the dream um because that that was uh fun and you know what my my favorite highlight was one of my favorite highlights is our first ever power ever i don't know why but i just remember it being a bit of i don't know if that's what translates but a bit of our kerfuffle like we were where are we live are we not live oh yes we're live and see if you're a video there's like five minutes at the beginning of sarah jane and emma and myself asking each other are we live are we live are you like using this for me and i just like it makes me laugh from where we began and in that we covered conspiracy theories and family and hope and everything else and now we're at 101 i don't know sarah jane or look do you have any immediate highlights from power hour that you can think of gosh a hundred and one today hours and the prep because we all meet beforehand and then we debrief after so we've had hours of prep hours of prayer do you know some of it's a bit of a blur i have to say because we talk that fast and we go that fast um but i have to say i do enjoy all all of the power hours i love that everybody's so engaged and really with us and and commenting and and asking intelligent questions and it's it's great uh the other thing that i love about it is just getting to be with the family that is the the senior leadership team and those who join us here on power hour which is a great way to actually have spent lockdown and i i love that luke is on board and it feels like he's been here forever thank you even though it's actually only been a handful of times i'm not sure if i'm uh if i'm really qualified to uh to to make a a statement about which is my favorite but honestly not watch them all of course it has been a bit of a salvation during lockdown it's been amazing it's been perfect i think we started watching so many through that first period of lockdown back in in april whenever it was it was amazing but honestly my favorite out of all of them was that controversial pastor john episode it was it was so exciting and for me as well i just i i love it when you get you know kind of fresh revelation about different passages of scripture and for me some of those bombshells were just they were wonderful they were just jewels so that was really good totally i think that that's maybe one of my favorites as well it's crazy to think that there's a hundred and one hours worth of content that we've generated over the last while and the growth and so many of you are saying that this was a salvation for you during lockdown that it just revolutionized your lockdown time and you know i think it was a salvation for us getting to see the family getting to know you guys getting to press in and hear the fresh word of the lord we have enjoyed it just as much as you and i'm loving some of what you're saying yes pastor john pushing religious buttons you're saying there that you're saying that episode on trauma was life-changing for some of you uh the stuff on a righteousness witchcraft the q and a's and the talk on the lordship of jesus changed your life yes carl as well you're saying england is going into another four week lockdown uh tonight so hopefully they're gonna be super blessed by um my power over the next four weeks carol she was one of my classmates at uni uh university in my club hello i'll just say i know that she'll be watching me she's sometimes a picture of me on her big tv hello carl love and meet you and i hope you're doing well where you are so um i have to say the controversies actually i've enjoyed you know there's been a lot of theological discussions but the real ones that we've wrestled with over locked down is the one that i think of should you have a hot tub or not it was a great one yeah and also how many hours did we spend about uh talking about haircuts and hairdressers that must have been a repeated subject but we could never get to the hairdresser we were desperate about 50 of the messages i now get on facebook and instagram are about my hair i can't see why you're such a trendsetter i'm like what is going on here 50 percent are about my hair and i was told the other week didn't share this with you look but i said i have been out here dude someone messaged me when you joined the power hour team so i might have to go and just say look has the best hair on power hour and just be like okay you can have that title no but mine is some there has been a literal social media storm about some of some of those things that you mentioned sarah j it's been really exciting and really enjoyable following your feed crazy to thank but i do just like i mean what what a journey and there's always something bizarre funny to to say as well funny stories that are going on in our life bizarre things that are happening but yes we get we we get to do it together which is super good and just makes me excited for the days that we get to do it in person as well when you all get to come to our building and we get to be together sweet so let's start with today's episode episode 101 and as i said we have called this see and be strengthened c and strengthened and we just felt today that there was such a need to release to you and this is a real impartation episode we don't want it to just be talk in theory but it's time to impart to you the ability to see what jesus is doing the ability to see in the spirit realm you see right now and we know with the american election that's going on and the countless other elections and the nations all nations it feels like are going through some sort of radical change and shaking right now it is really easy to be overwhelmed and worn out when all we see is hopelessness despair all we see is disunity all we see is division all we hear is bad news and really god is saying right now to his church do not forget that what you see with your earthly eyes is not the superior reality my world the spirit realm the lord is saying is the superior reality and today we want to go on a journey of coming into seeing the spirit realm and fixing our eyes on the spirit realm and seeing what is actually going on and 2 corinthians 4 18 the key scripture about this says this so we fix our eyes not on what is seen we fix our eyes not on what is seen borrow what is unseen since what is seen as temporal this house this desk what i'm standing on just now the politicians that are on the tv the economy that we see around us the market the shops that's all temporal not what is unseen as eternal and really i would say that fixing your eyes as a choice that fixing your eyes ultimately is a choice of where you give your attention to and what you focus your energy on and today i want us to start with saying this i choose to see the unseen over the scene i choose to see the unseen over the scene i want you to write that in the comments i choose to see the unseen over the scene and that statement i want that to be the kind of holding statement of your day of your week that you are saying on a daily regular basis so that you are giving your attention to the unseen which you will get which will give you strength it will give you perspective it will give you insight it will give you hope it will give you clarity when you focus on the unseen you get a perspective from god's view that enables you to view things with redemption and with a redemptive sight because you see the bigger picture that is what happens when you say i choose to see the unseen over the scene so senator jade our resident late seer that leads here in the the british isles this is really your world and and really you've you've trained so many and seeing in the spirit i remember actually when i came to glasgow prophetic center it's almost eight years since i joined and i barely could see really at all it wasn't my strength i'd shut it down i saw when i was younger but shut it down but you had a a sears school at that time which was a group of about 10 of us that met every couple of weeks and and you and your teaching in that atmosphere just resurrected the seer that was in me personally i know for so many others so do you want to just speak into this area of seeing the unseen sure i think that exactly what you're saying is so important that we get this we have been talking about seeing in the spirit since uh gpc started in 2009 we've been talking about seeing angels and experiencing what the heavenly realm is like by seeing it and sensing it and when we say the seer anointing we really mean all of our spiritual senses being awakened and i know we've taught on this in different contexts over some of the power hours that i'm sure you can catch up on if you want some more detail in and but the important thing is that second corinthians truth that we fix our eyes beyond what we see in the natural we see we fix our eyes beyond current affairs we fix our eyes beyond what's going on in our workplace in our family lives in our communities in our cities and in the nations of the earth to say god what is it that is happening beyond this temporal earthly realm and so we want to push past what we see in the natural we want to push past what is right in front of us in the newspapers or on your newsfeed on your phone or on the tv or on the radio uh it's almost like we can't escape at the moment heavy weighty bad news but the lord is saying tara's this week as i heard him speak to us about how important it is to see right now that we are in a time when normal life will not resume where things that we took for granted are actually not going to be things we can take for granted and be certain about so actually spiritual sight in these days today now as we are the people of god isn't some optional extra where we get to kind of have fun in the spirit with god encounter the angelic see spirit horses you know see things going on with with what god wants to uh us to partner with no it's actually something that is essential seeing in the spirit sensing in the spirit is essential not just for our survival but for the advancement of the kingdom of god where we are and what we're called to and so i feel like we've exercised some muscle some of us will have experienced that seeing in the spirit and we will have had experiences when we prayed in the spirit and seeing what god is doing but what i believe god is saying when he says eyes on me right now church eyes on me is this week's call from god watch what i'm doing it's so that we can partner with him in such a clear and determined way that we don't miss out on what is god god is doing in our own world but more than that that we don't miss out on what god is doing in all aspects of life in all aspects of any situation we can see god and we can partner with him jesus said didn't he i will only do what i see my father doing he watched the father he watched him move he watched his nuances he watched his mood he watched how he was even thinking in his actions and he partnered with him and that really i believe is our goal is our gold standard is what jesus did is to watch what the father does and then partner with him and not really move before we've seen what god is doing totally so good and laura you're just summarizing some of what sarah jane said there and you're saying that the essential service of this season is seeing the unseen and i could not agree more the essential service the essential function of the believer's life right now is seeing in the unseen and if ever there was a time to learn what it is to see in the spirit realm this would be that moment this would be that time and i would be asking you the question right now and i want to ask you you the question what or who has the majority of your focus yeah what or who has the majority of your focus and let's clarify when we're talking about seeing into the spirit realm now today we want to look very specifically at sight so there is a a dominant visual element to what god wants to release today of a supernatural capacity to see but when we are talking about fix your eyes we are talking about the continual internal focus of your heart we are talking about the continual internal focus of your heart so if you were to assess yourself what is my heart focused on most what is its attention towards most what would your answer be and i think we can all admit we need to come up some levels when it comes to seeing in the spirit realm and focusing more fully on jesus look do you want to speak into this yeah and it's something that needs to become a discipline not just a response and an obedience to what he's asking us to do but discipline and it's important that we hear the call i felt it when sarah jane was speaking then you can hear the call in the spirit um just uh almost bring alignment to your sight and to really really for us to to personally start to to see him with our own eyes and in a in a fresh way and uh it's so easy to look to the right and to the left isn't it there's so much going on at the moment and uh there's so many things not just that are a distraction but there's equally there's often so many things that we look around and see are good but they're not necessarily what is god for us and it's not necessarily what god is speaking to us so it's really important that we find that almost that narrowness of what is the spirit of god saying to me and on a daily basis on a step-by-step basis it talks in scripture about keeping step by step in with the spirit and part of that is kind of just on that daily basis in those manageable pieces those manageable chunks coming to that place of where's my heart at what are my thoughts pursuing what's my mind pursuing is it distracted here is it distracted here and just asking the question lord what are you saying to me today what are you saying to me in the middle of this circumstance what are you saying to me in the middle of this turmoil or in this good situation and coming to the lord personally with that specifically to hear him and to see him it says in matthew as well not everyone who says to me lord lord will enter the kingdom of heaven but the one who does the will of my father and again in relation to what sarah jane was saying that the only way we can do the will of the father is to see and hear what the father is doing and it says here that you know we won't enter into heaven unless we do that so there's actually um a desire of the father for us to be in like that dynamic of seeing him all the time and hearing him all the time and walking with him all the time yeah yeah i just really feel like the lord is really almost shouting this to us as the church right now eyes on me look at me you know fix your gaze it's almost like a coach would do to an athlete look watch me keep your eyes on me as you say luke don't look to the right or the left don't fall by the wayside but actually uh eyes up eyes on me and it's almost like if you were i don't know i'm not that i've ever done this yet i say yet i've never tight rope walked i don't know if anybody has out there but i imagine there's this sense of actually you have to keep your eyes up onto the horizon there's a horizon line that you have to look at not looking down at your feet you know when you jump out of a plane which i have done you have to keep your eyes up otherwise you wouldn't jump out of the plane there's a sense of actually come on guys eyes on god fix your eyes on me and i feel like this is future proofing us for strength but it's future proofing us for hope it's the you know it's the hope in the eternal it's the hope of god and he's saying you know don't get lost in the confusion and all the noise that's going on in the world but get your peace get your hope and get your assurance with your eyes fixed on me but the other thing just as a caveat and i think we have to know this is we're looking sometimes for answers in the natural that god is saying remember as you fix your eyes on me remember as you get your eyes front that my ways are not your ways that my ways are higher that i have a different perspective and actually god wants to give us that different perspective but isaiah 55 is so needed right now that we have to re remember that as we come into this spiritual site place of actually oh god you're showing me something completely otherworldly i have to have another world's perspective i have to have a heavenly perspective not on earthly uh perspective or an earthly uh question that expects an earthly answer but an earthly question that expects a heavenly answer yes so good because i think what can happen here is that we can fall down the trap of interpreting what we see in the spirit or perceiving the spirit according to what we want or think here in the earth realm so i saw this in the spirit realm and what you saw was right but then we interpret it from a worldly point of view and seeing in the spirit is not just about having a vision then interpreting it from your own perspective it's not just about having an encounter then framing it in a way that fits what you see in the world it is a whole other shift into living a spirit lifestyle living a life that is dominantly in the spirit and it's about okay i see this what does that mean to you god what are you saying about what i'm seeing right now over the nations how are you acting according to that and there is this key question that we've got to get used to asking in every situation and political changes and personal changes and economic shaking and personal financial struggles an ill health battles are in a battle in the family or within global community and it's this god show me what is actually going on here show me what is actually going on here because what you see with your physical eyes is never the full picture yeah what you see with your physical eyes is never the full picture and your ability to see what is actually going on will revolutionize your entire life and there have been so many situations both on a macro national global scale and then on the micro just with me myself and i where i have thought that i have known what is going on only to be kind of sideswiped by god when i saw in the spirit the real what was actually going on the the the greater reality and so don't fall down the trap of just approaching everything from this world's view and it's interesting you know when i started to get caught up to heaven i don't know about you sarah jane but um and those of us who have been caught to heaven the the first kind of place that i entered into a and and that i experienced and still experienced was a viewing platform or some sort of balcony i could almost say a mezzanine level in heaven where i was able to look from heaven down to the earth and that that all those first i mean for years i actually didn't go anywhere else when i was caught up to heaven for years i only ever went there and it was like god was drilling into me before i can show you anything else before i can take you deeper i need to make sure that you're looking at the world from my perspective i need to make sure that you are seeing the superior reality of the spirit realm and then landing that on the earth rather than trying to interpret the spirit realm according to the earth or according to the world and so this whole call of sea see as a call to change your lifestyle and you're gonna have to build the intentional practice of asking daily the question show me what is actually going on here show me what is actually going on here god because what is actually going on in your world is the reality that i know is superior and has the end of the story has the final say yes yeah and i think i would add on 100 amen to that sam and say um the add-on word for me would be now what is happening right now because there is this sense of what a lot of us are used to encounters and visions and dreams where you see in the spirit and you encounter in the spirit but there is this realm of seeing in the spirit now on the earth and in heaven what's happening right now in this moment god that you want me to see and know that i will be better equipped for the situation that i'm facing or for the prayers that i'm praying for the nation or the nations or my own family what is actually happening now and as i'm talking i'm thinking about my daughter sophie when she was seven and i've told this story before so forgive me if you've heard it but she was getting bullied at school and and we had this conversation i said look so we need to figure out what ephesians 6 says it's the unseen realm it's not this girl that is the problem it's the spirits that are working behind her through her that's the problem let's ask god to open your eyes to see what those spirits are and you know what she was able to draw them on a bit of paper she was able to name them and she could see what their and hear what their job was to cause her trouble we prayed we dealt with it we released blessing on the girl and that issue was resolved with a phone call from the head teacher the next day saying that girl that was bothering your daughter has been moved into a different class now that was without a conversation that was with prayer and sophie learned a good lesson that day that actually seeing in the spirit uh solves problems it solves personal problems it solves issues that are very personal and painful to you even if you're a child and so let me say as we would say you know balaam's donkey could see in the spirit and he could talk you know in numbers 22 but actually a child can do this so if you're thinking outside and watching power hour oh that's all right for you prophets who've been doing it for years let me say you can see and you can hear just as we talked about last week you can hear the voice of god and you can see as god sits with you and as you sit with him revelation 3 comes to mind uh sam when we talked about that earlier that sense of when jesus says here i am i'm at the door you know if you open it i'll come and sit with you and i'll eat with you and that's revelation 3 and then in revelation 4 we see john just said and before me was an open door his heart responded to jesus he was eating and communing and having a relationship with jesus so if you're in a relationship with him it is that sense of come and sit down come and eat with him and those doors of the spirit will be open to you yeah so i think that's really important now is the lord really wants to bring us into the now right now um we were talking the other day about you know sam was talking about that that kind of middle but there's a presentness that he wants to draw us into we've been so used to either living on prophetic words that been spoken to us yesterday or hoping towards the future but he wants us to bring us into this place of the now and the dynamic of the now and uh it's really it's kind of the key it's the key at the moment that um we need to really learn how to step into that and step into that the i am of god you know not just not just you know even though we fuel ourselves and feed ourselves with the words from yesterday and the revelation from yesterday and what he said in the past there's a presentness that that he is drawing us into at the moment that he desires for us to step into at the moment which is actually key for us uh as we move into uh these things even come to the end of this year and into next year totally so good sarah jane can you just pray for us and release the capacity to see what god is doing now i think that is a a word for the moment to see now what is going on and just bless the people because they're all agreeing that that's what they need yeah absolutely and so um right now i think we just need to come before god because some of us have felt uh maybe uh there's been unbelief maybe there's been skepticism about seeing in the spirit is it actually really for me or is it actually real and of course it's throughout scripture so we know it's available to us and so if you have your word if you have your bible right next to you why don't you grab a hold of it and just say right now i apprehend i take hold of everything to do with seeing the spirit that is a now moment word uh in in the spirit in scripture and i take it to myself i take it for myself and i break agreement with unbelief and skepticism i repent for any way i've partnered with that you will know if you have you will know if you've done the eye rolling if somebody's been sharing about an angel or whatever now let's be honest not everybody is seeing everything as clearly as we would like and that's why training is important and activation is important but i think right now it's important just to repent and break agreement with unbelief and skepticism and so father in the name of jesus i do i break agreement with anyone i've partnered with unbelief and skepticism you need to repeat that out loud after me and i now renounce and break that agreement and i break every curse and assignment against my sight that's you praying for you i break every curse and assignment that has shut down my sight and we agree as prophets here in glasgow and we break off every curse and assignment that has come against the sight of the church that has come in a way of unbelief that has come even with the spirit of religion that's tried to blink of the church to blind the church to put gauze on our eyes and we rip that off and we release and open the eyes of the church we open your eyes individually and corporately right now and we open up the eyes of your heart can you just put your hand on your heart if you're watching we just release activation to open and enlighten your hearts to receive and to hear and to see the now word of god what is actually happening in heaven right now what is actually happening in the spirit realm right now and i release that ability to see beyond the natural and into the spirit to each one of you and to your households in the name of jesus and i just hear the spirit of the lord say oh church i am shifting you from gehenna mr elisha's from those who see uh the enemy uh in a way that outnumbers you to those who see what i am doing and what i have said and my forces in a way that outnumbers the enemy for the spirit of the lord says church you have been a gay hazel people for too long where your eyes have been focused on the plans of the enemy and on the amount of the enemy and on the numbers in the enemy's camp and your eyes have yet to be fully focused on my superior reality and just like in a moment gahey's eyes eyes were opened and he became like an elisha to see what was superior to see what was even more real than the world that they were in right now so the lord says church open your eyes church open your eyes for this is a software moment says the lord where i am releasing to you a capacity to see as elisha saw and then to work or to live and to act as elisha acted and the spirit of the lord said that from this point he says i am charging you to be a people of spiritual sight first of spiritual sight first and the lord says this is a charge i hear the lord as a charge to the church stop looking at the world more than you're looking at me stop looking at the earth more than you're looking at my world stop focusing on what is around you more than focusing on what is around me and the spirit of god says for you have fallen down the path of discouragement and exhaustion because your eyes have been on the wrong place and the lord says when your eyes are focused on the world and when your eyes the spirit of the lord says are focused on the plans of the enemy the lord says that is where exhaustion comes that is where discouragement comes that is where you end up disempowered but as i shift you from that get hazard people to the elisha people you are going to know a strength and an ability to push forward because you will be seeing me first says the lord and it is about what you see who you see first that is what the spirit of god is saying so right now in jesus name we just lose a capacity to you that's with us we can give you top tips but we just lose a supernatural impartation to you right now and we just open your eyes in the name of jesus to start to see the superior reality of god's realm first yeah yeah wow i feel as you're praying sam what we're doing and those of you out there watching us right now there is this sense of a corporate agreement that's required it's like we're pushing and breaking if you will the blindness of the corporate church we're pushing and breaking off these almost like cement like walls and so if you can agree with us out loud you know we break off the blindness we break off the confusion we break off that which is skepticism that blinds us corporately and we choose to believe that we can see now what the spirit is doing that we can see now what the father is doing that we can see now what jesus is doing that we can interact and partner with heaven now and i just want you to be praying that because it's almost like corporately we're pushing some walls that have been set up around the church and so let's say yes and amen to that and watch those walls crumble as we agree and step into the fullness of our reality of spiritual beings i am spirit your spirit this is something that you might have to decree over yourself i am spirit i am strong in it and i can see and some of you are going to have to make some declarations daily to be able to kind of activate this new reality that is all available to us and i heard the lord say sam as you were praying there what do you know church what do you know uh and this sense of actually what is happening god show me what is happening because i only want to know first primarily what it is that you're doing and what you're saying what do you know church so good thank you sarah jane look do you want to share anything on that yeah i i saw the lord sending us out like spies into the land and i heard him say that right now you're in the in in this middle place in between coming out of the wilderness and going into the promised land i saw him sending us out as out as in spies into the land because a report was going to be required in the coming days and so um we need to respond to this call of the lord to see what he's seeing because the report's going to be required in the coming days that will actually enable us to step into the fulfillment of his promises or not um and so for for you watching the lord is going to there's going to be a day coming where um you step into a greater realm of the promises of god and almost a season that the lord is opening up but right now he's requiring us to open our eyes and go and actually see the reality of what's in the land because otherwise we're going to come back with a report that will stop us from entering into that fullness of the promises of god and even in that i heard that you know we can't we can't no longer is it about what we know but it's about what we see we can't just we can't just base our decisions on what we have previously known that we have to step into the realm of what are we seeing what are we seeing what are we seeing god what are you seeing so good luck thank you let me just talk about daniel for a moment and then look you've got a word on the the narrow gate as it pertains to site that i think is really important out of matthew 7 uh just to to share i just felt uh this morning and even yesterday that daniel really was a book of the moment he was a man of the moment for such a time as this and just reading daniel last night and this morning i felt like it was such a feast and that that i was dining out and because of how it has principles that relate to this day and really i want to speak into the global environment that we're in just now and how we partner with god at such for for such a time as this daniel really is a book uh where uh it is filled with kingdoms colliding not just worldly kingdoms but it's it is the kingdom of darkness the kingdom of light and collision zone there is war that is coming there is the sense of the oncoming chaos in crisis there is a pressure to compromise on the people of god to compromise belief to compromise religious practice to compromise how they outwork their call and there is persecution of the people of god that is also arising and really daniel is a furnace for the people of god the whole book and story of daniel as the story of how daniel and his his fellow brothers exist or live not just in the furnace when that happens but throughout the whole book that is a furnace for them of persecution and pressure and and everything else and oncoming chaos and i i would say what i noticed from reading daniel was that his strength came always from his ability to interact with the unseen realm and that his ability to endure the pressure to compromise the kingdoms that were colliding the persecution that was coming to the people of god the war that was on its way was the ability that he had to prioritize his engagement with god's realm and god's spirit and nebuchadnezzar the king was not the focus of daniel's heart nor was the wars that were coming nor was the pressure to compromise nor was his position the focus of daniel's heart always was what is actually going on at that moment in time as sarah jim said what was actually going on now what was actually going on now and that was the spirit realm and in daniel 10 we really see this in action and at this point you'll notice daniel's vision of a man daniel is worn out he's weak partly because he's been fasting partly because of the intensity of the encounter partly just because he's in a chaotic season he's weak he is worn out he is not quite sure what is going on yet he has a visionary encounter a spirit realm encounter that brings clarity to what is going on on a global scale but also releases to him supernatural strength and uh verse 18 and 19 from daniel chapter 10 it says this again the one who looked like a man touched me and gave me strength do not be afraid you who are highly esteemed he said peace be strong now be strong when he spoke to me i was strengthened instead speak my lord since you have given strength given me strength and then he goes on to explain what is going on in the realms of the spirit and daniel receives in this moment of crisis and chaos and this moment of weakness and this moment of global change of change in the nation a supernatural strength from encounter that he didn't receive from even just what he was eating or his diet or exercise or good sleep he needed another world's influence he needed another world's strength and at this time where nations are changing and really we are in the days where you know many of us have asked time and time again can nations really be changed in a day well we're seeing that just now we're seeing nations change and shift over night and some of that looks quite negative some of it looks positive but nonetheless in a day and age where nations are changing in a day where nations are changing over night our priority must be first to understand what is going on over those nations in the realms of god and the full picture let me say as i've said again the full picture is never 100 made up of what is going on in the earth realm ever and so the full picture of what is happening in america is not just about who's going to ascend into office and who's going to end up with the majority god is in his realm orchestrating a plan and moving in a way over the united states of america that is superior to what you are seeing happening within your nation just now and the end of the story and the end of the narrative is god and what he wants to happen and the beginning of the story and the beginning of the narrative is god and what he wants to happen and the full story and the full narrative that we need to keep our eyes on is god and what he wants to happen and in this time you know i get it it's so easy to get really really focused on what's going on in the earth realm that is why luke said at the beginning it is a discipline it is a discipline but you have to train yourself okay this is good this is what i would like to happen this is what i would like the result to be but what is actually going on right now here in the spirit realm god what are you doing over the united states of america as you as the united states of america comes into a hinge period of time a pivot period of time not because of elections or politics but because god has a superior reality a superior story a superior activity happening in his realm over america and that is why often at these times particularly when we have lots of opinions that are going on the best prayer to pray twofold show me what is actually going on in your realm god and then let your kingdom come and your will be done yeah wow let your kingdom come and your will be done and so we have to be a daniel people i want to release that capacity to you to be someone like daniel to be a daniel people that your strength comes from the lord that your revelation comes from the lord and as we talk about this we're talking about sight and strength because what you focus on is where you get your strength from what you focus on is where you get your strength from and that is right out of psalm 121 i left up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from my help comes from the lord the maker of heaven and earth and the word for help there means protection age strength resource energy rescue and this sam says where you fix your eyes is where your help will come from and we've talked about this before and i'll hand over to you in a moment look and and say to james but the story of scripture is this that worldly structures always fail that they will always fail the only structure that never fails is the kingdom of god and god's structure kings presidents economies political parties thrones governments markets schools systems banks religious institutions that are man-made they all fail so do not fix your eyes on what is failing do not fix your eyes on what is seen remember the beginning from corinthians we fix our eyes not on what is seen but what is unseen do not fix your eyes on what is failing for when you fix your eyes on what is failing you will never be able to draw a full power or strength or energy or rescue from it when you fix your eyes on what is failing you will only be able to receive a limited failing so fix your eyes on the unseen because that's where your strength comes from look sarah jane you want to add to that and share just what you're cutting is our final kind of 10 minutes yeah well i just want to respond to that and say i fix my eyes on you god because i think we can all be guilty of not doing that and you know whether we are used to doing it or not we can still look either to the right or to the left and so i just want to make that choice to fix my eyes on you um i was uh i was just reading that passage about alum and the donkey and uh it was talking about how he was forced into this narrow place you know actually often following the thread of the spirit of god or hearing the voice of god or is actually it's quite a it's quite a fine thread or it's actually quite a narrow doorway to enter through because it does take um a learning and a process of refinement and you know to hear the nuances of what god's saying but not just that often god doesn't speak with a a broad sweeping statement he often does say something that's very very specific and so um he he wants us to learn how to hear those specific words that he's saying it says in matthew 7 enter by the narrow gate for the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction and those who enter it are many for the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life and those who find it are few yeah the lord is actually possibly in this current situation in this kind of current climate maybe doing something to us that is similar to bam when he was on his donkeys that he's forcings into a narrow place but actually in scripture it says that that's a really good thing because that's where life is found not just life for us but it's where the life source is found as well it's where the revelation is found it's where we find that and we learn to find that narrowness of what is god our god speaking to us and what god is saying in the now moment and so i feel like we are being pushed into this place of actually discovering him in a different way and seeing him in a fresh way and a new way and learning even to step into that place of discipline of step by step keeping in step with the spirit of god hearing what he's saying on a daily basis and then actually being able to proclaim that and seeing that what we see in the spirit realm and in that heavenly from that heavenly viewpoint starts to affect the natural in a way that when our eyes were on the natural we could never seem to affect um and so lord i just want to say if you're pushing me into this narrow place where i see you and that's what happened with fallon suddenly his eyes were open in the narrow place and he saw in the spirit what was in front of him well lord if you're pushing me into that narrow place yes i choose to open my eyes but even in that regard spirit of god opened my eyes to see what is happening the reality of what is happening in front of me um and the truth of what you are doing um in this season in this timeline come on yes sir yeah so good so good um isaiah 29 18 i think is uh a word for today it starts with in that day and i believe in that day is this day that day is today when we're in the narrow place when we're in the darkness it says in that day the death will hear with the words of the scroll and out of the gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see and so we know that there is this word of god from the prophet isaiah that in that day which is i believe this day when there's gloom and darkness and we know even from isaiah 61 that even though the the glory of the lord arises on us deep darkness covers the earth and that darkness is not getting any lighter but the glory of god is getting brighter and so we have to take that promise from isaiah that the blind will see and so how do we activate our sight yes we can pray what we've prayed today 100 but when jesus comes to the blind men in matthew 9 and matthew 10 he says your faith will help you receive your sight your faith is what brings sight to you and we see the analogy of spiritual sight with natural sight in matthew 23 where jesus begins to speak to the pharisees about being blind guides and those who are blind pharisees and so this sense of actually the spiritual sight and the natural site being activated being awakened being opened through our faith and that is the key folks that's the key just just activating it by facing i take spiritual sight by faith i read daniel i read ezekiel i read these prophets and i read these encounters and by faith i say my sight is activated and so i think let us hear and let us see what god is doing because we so need it in these narrow places and these dark places that we are in in the nations at this time so good so good because of the narrow plaintiffs that were in just now let me just finish with a kind of practical spiritual thought all in one uh just as as we send you and then i would love sarah jane if you can just release supernatural sight seeing in the spirit realm because you really carry that that mantle to everybody watching and an ability to press and you know revelation 1 it's john the revelator he is uh the great vision book of the bible it just filled with visions and what he saw and what a better place to kind of go and see what a life in the spirit a life spirit focused looks like and revelation 1 i love how it begins kind of in verse 10 you know there's the preludes but it talks about how on the lord's day he was already in the spirit so he had obviously built a life of being in the spirit on a daily basis he was saying just on the last day i was in the spirit already it wasn't he was caught up into the spirit yet that happens later on he was just in the spirit he'd created that environment and he then turns he hears a voice like a trumpet he turns and he sees the voice that is speaking to him and then he goes to write letters to all the different churches to all the different cities the different nationalities ephesus all the different ones philadelphia leo to see a stardust etc etc and he writes these letters but before he sees or understands what god is doing in a nation or to a church or to a city he sees jesus and even afterwards after he sees and hears and experiences what what god is doing in the cities and what god wants to say he sees jesus and all through revelation it all comes back to seeing jesus and so the spiritual thought that translates into a practical top tip as we finish your sight must begin and end with jesus all of the time and so where you are i know that you'll want to know you know jesus what you're doing in my nation what's happening nominations show me the spirits that work show me the spirit realm jesus show me you start there jesus what do you look like right now jesus what are you doing right now jesus how are you revealing yourself to me right now jesus what do you want me to see right now and jesus focused sight is then the gateway to being trusted with a greater level of seeing in the spirit jesus centered vision is the gateway to then seeing what god is doing over your nation and over the nations jesus focus visions jesus focused eyes as the thing that opens the door for you to go in and possess a life of seeing in the spirit with greater clarity and with greater accuracy so your sight must begin and end with jesus and if you want a top tip for activating spiritual sight is this jesus what are you doing jesus show me you jesus reveal yourself to me i want to see you jesus and as you start to build that as a lifestyle of seeing jesus then the door will open for you to go deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper and deeper say to gene do you want to close and pray for us as we finish um i hear the lord speak from revelation 3 and jesus is saying to us here i am that's verse 20. here i am i stand at the door and knock if anyone hears my voice and opens the door i will come in and eat with him and him with me and so jesus we choose to open that door that is a spiritual door we choose to open that door and invite you in to come and eat with us in a new way today that there is a new opportunity to sit and eat and watch you to see you to experience you in a fresh way today and so we grab that now word even if you have spiritual sight that's already activated this is a now word for a new level a new death a new experience a new encounter with the living god and his realm that is unseen and so jesus we say here we are here we are come and eat with us come and sit with us and as we enter into this new depth of relationship with jesus the living god we say now let our sight be opened let our senses be activated and i loose from here in scotland to you wherever you are we loose from here to wherever you are by impartation and if we're with you be laying hands on you but right now we just raise our hands and we lose that ability by the spirit of god to see and to sense in jesus name amen amen amen well thank you for joining us today for episode 101 of power hour we are back tomorrow for what i'm sure will be another power packed hour have an amazing day fetch your eyes on jesus see what he's doing and we shall see you all tomorrow same time same place for power hour 102. see you then [Music] you
