When you think about how powerful the word of God really is, I'm about to take you to a place that most people cannot go. We are dealing today with spiritual blindness. When it comes to the word of God. There are people that cannot see what we can see. Let's go to Second Corinthians chapter four, verse three and four. Two Corinthians four, three, and four. But if our gospel be hid. It is hid from them that are lost in whom the God of this world. We thought the saint now has blinded the minds of them, which believe not. Lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God should shine unto them. We are talking about spiritual blindness today. Here's the message, seeing through spiritual eyes, I'm about to show you some things today that spiritual, I don't expect everybody to see it because they can't. This is seen through spiritual eyes. Let's go to Two Kings. Two Kings, the Book of Kings, chapter two, verse 11. We are going to see some things today that the world is not ready for. Two Kings Chapter two, verse 11. Now when I started getting introduced to spiritual things, I didn't realize that most people can't see some of the things I saw until I started really understanding what this seeing through seeing the word through spiritual eyes. So in Second King, chapter two 11, are we going dance today? Now he says. Went on and talked that behold there appeared a chariot of fire and horses of fire, and part of them both are under. And Elijah went up by a whirlwind unto Heaven, Elijah. Now he went up into heaven by a whirlwind, but Elijah. We're still on the ground. It had to be separated spiritually. So you're saying to yourself, what is this chariot of fire and horses? Don't worry, we going to get there because that is so spiritual. It's going to come up at different times in the word of God because it's going to get clear and clear about this, about this chariot of fire and horses. Stay in two kings. Let's go to chapter six, verse 17. Two Kings chapter six, verse 17. Oh, we done. Go on and done something. Now see though, I'm not expecting the world to see this because they can't, we talking about seeing the word of God through spiritu eyes. And he shows his word and Elijah prayed. Watch what he, watch what he's doing now. He realized he's the man of God, but he's praying for his servant and said, Lord, I prayed. Open his eyes. Whoa, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold, the mountains were full of horses and chariot of fire wrong about Elijah. Where now? Now I want you to get that now. See wherever the man of God goes. Doesn't matter where the foreign cha chariots are there with the horses. Oh, we talking spiritual now. I don't worry about the enemy because I know God and his firing chariots are there with the horses for me. That's his promise. Now most people can't see it, so we're not worrying about that. We're understanding seeing through Spiritu eyes. Let's go to two kings. Two kings. Chapter two verse 12. Two Kings chapter two, verse 12. Uh, we, we'd be talking, we can see some things now. So now don't know why. When I first saw this, it just blew me away to understand. And he said, and e larger for it, and he cried. Watch what he said. Now, my father, my father, the chariot of Israel or oh, the China who, Israel and the husband thereof, and he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and rent them in two pieces. Now he recognized it's even deeper than I thought. It is the chariot of Israel and his horsemen. Oh. Oh. See the first he just saw horses, but now we getting a clear understanding. Is Hoffman okay? Okay. I'm good. I'm good. Second King, chapter 13, verse 14. Two Cas chapter 13, verse 14, seeing God's word through spiritual eyes. Now it's becoming much clearer. Why is God doing this? He said, because it is not for everyone. See in Second King, chapter 13, verse 14. Now I'm taking you deep and deeper now, so hold on now and, and if you get tired, lock in because we're going deeper. We can't stop now. Now, Elijah, what's fallen sick of the sickness thereof? He died. And Joyus, the King of Israel came down unto him and wept over his face and said, oh, my father, my father, the Cherry Israel, and the horseman thereof, whoa, we talking spiritual now. So now the king have come down to see larger because he's connected to the man of God. He can see the Church of Fire. You got to be kidding me. Now, why the world can't see this? Because they're blinded by Satan. The sin, the pride that they greed is separating them from God. God, I know. Sometimes you say to yourself, why can't they just see? Because they can't. Psalm 68, Psalm 68. Sometime I wonder if they only knew the greatness of God in Psalm 68, verse 17. See they so upon with the chariots of God. Same thing. Now. Now get the revelation. Now I about to give you the revelation so you can see deeper. The of is the exact same thing as the of God. Oh man. I ain't know if y'all ready, but I'm gonna give it to you now. Whenever you see the chariot, God is in the middle. It is never fire. It's his glory. It appears to be, oh, when you seen the of coming, Jesus is in the middle and his glory. What looks like fire. It's the same way. When he was in the cloud, it appeared to be fire. It's the same way. When he was next to the bush as the agent of the Lord, it appeared to be fire. Or you are ready for some revelation Now. We can't stop now, we gotta keep on going because it says the cha. Our 20,000 even thousands are what angels. The Lord is among them as in Sinai and the holy place. Come on. You got to be kidding me. Yes, we are talking about seeing the world God through spiritual eyes. But he keep going and, and sometime I, I used to have to ask myself, I said, Lord, why are you showing me this? Why me? Why not the world? He said, because the world can't receive me. They can't perceive me because I am deeper than that. In First Chronicle. First Chronicle chapter 28, oh, we can't stop now, we when we were caught fired. Now with the revolution of God in one Chronicle 28, we are dealing with verse. Eight. Oh man. Come on now. Therefore, in the fight of all Israel, the congregation of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God, that ye may possess. This good land and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you forever. Now, I want you to hear what he's telling him now. He is talking about understanding, we talking about God. It is purity Now. That's New Testament, old Testament, but I know you're saying to yourself, uh, I gotta see a little more. Well, let's go back to the Old Testament. Let's go to Old Testament. Let's go to Isaiah. Isaiah 66, seen God's word through spiritual eyes in Isaiah 66, verse 15. Isaiah 66, verse 15. For behold, the Lord will come with fire and with his chariot, like a whirlwind to render his anger with fury and his rebuke with frames of fire. Who is that not heavy? Is that not heavy? See. I understand why most people don't see what I see. I understand it, but I can't stop walking because they refuse to change and see God. Psalms 1 0 4, Psalms 1 0 4. We are talking about seeing God word through spiritual eyes, but it is not just a word. It's actually seeing in the physical, the spiritual level. In Psalms 1 0 4, we talking about verse three. Now sometimes. I, I, I wonder, I, I sometimes I wonder if they only knew and the Lord was showing me, they don't want to know. It talks about who left the beams out his chambers in the waters who make the clouds. His chariot don't miss that. Now. His chariots out of cloud. Wow. Well, let me say that again. Now it's in the, now it's in the word. Now he make us the clouds, his chariot, who walk us upon the wings of the wind. Wow. See now little things that we have learned start to make sense. Why when they, when Jesus was leading the children of Israel, from Egypt to the promised land, he was in the cloud for 40 years. He was showing us, I am now on my chariot of fire. That's the cloud. I wonder when if the winds of the wing is showing us the eagle. He is showing us the fire was his glory. That's how powerful, that's how his weight it is to be God. He was showing us the burning bush was never the burning bush. It was his weight of glory. You got to be kidding me. My whole life, when I was coming up, I was, I learned that the bush was on fire. They couldn't see. They only could tell you what they know from that point because they had no spirit of God. Now I know you're saying to yourself, pastor, you gotta slow down now. You gotta slow down. This is, this is heavy. Well, we gonna slow down just a little bit. Let's go to the Book of Revelation. Now, you tell me all of this stuff we are talking about now and we're going to see some of it in Revelation. Yes, we will. Revelation chapter nine. In Revelation chapter nine, we're going to deal with verse nine. Revelation chapter nine, verse nine. And they had what Breastplates as there were best breastplates of iron and the sound of their wings were the songs of what Chariots of many Horses Running Battle. The same metaphor he's using now in Revelation to show us the chance of fire. He used to show us about the wings as a song of chariots that's running the battle. Why is he doing this? Because the Lord, he said light upon line, light upon line. A little there. A little. He said, I'm gonna take a little bit and put him in my word. In this book. I'm gonna take a little and put him in my word. In that book, I'm gonna take a little and put him in my word and the New Testament of that book. What is he showing us? I need you to consume the volume of the book because I wanna take you deeper. And deeper of who I am and deeper and deeper to understand how I wanna move in your life and deeper and deeper so you can understand who I am. He said I made the clouds cherry, AYA. Ooh, you gotta be kidding me. I says, no, Lord. I says, why are you showing me? He says, because when you got my spirit, you got my eyes. When you got my spirit, you got my mind. When you got my spirit, now you can take my word and open it up, and now you can digest it because you can understand. Which you couldn't understand in the flesh, okay? Okay, okay. Okay. Don't stop there. We ain't gonna stop there. Now let's go to Jeremiah, the man called Jeremiah. We going to his book, he's going to show us some things now in Jeremiah. Chapter four, Jeremiah chapter four. We talking about seeing the word of God through spiritual eyes. In Jeremiah chapter four, verse 13, Jeremiah four 13, we we're getting a deeper understanding. Behold, he shall come up. As clouds and his chariot shall be as a whirlwind, his horses are swifter than Eagles wo unto us for we are spoiled. Now he is giving us the metaphor of understanding. The egos. Now you on the, the average person. When I say you, I'm talking about believers. Now I'm not talking about nonbelievers. Nonbelievers will never be able to accept and absorb what I teach because it is not for them. It's for the mature. I understand that, but it shows us something when it's talking about a eagle. When you talking about the full face of a beast, we talking about the CH bis, now we talking about the CH bis. And Jesus is showing us through his word. Now, the significance of eagle. We know the four faces of a beast is a lion. It's a ox, it's a man, it's eagle. We got that. We know Matthew teaches us in the book of Matthew how we can see God, see Jesus Christ as. A lion because he's teaching it to the Jews. We understand. He, in the book of mocks, he's teaching us as Jesus as a servant of ox. Ox, just gonna work, work, work, work, work. That's Jesus. Work, work, work, work, work. But when we see him through the face of Luke, a man, we now recognize he's showing us Jesus as a man. But now we're going into the spiritual realm. Now in the spiritual realm. John, we talking about the beloved now, the Revelator that shows us the book of Revelation and the book of John first and second, third, John. We got that. He is showing us Jesus as eagle, the spiritual connection. In the beginning with the Word, the Word with God, and the word was God. Now that we can see Jesus as that eagle, we can now recognize, he said, I can fly into a trouble and I can fly out. I can decide what to eat when and how I know who I am. But now we're gonna deal with that. Now we, we talk, we talking now because when we say eagle, we now are recognizing how he's showing us through the whirlwind. Who, why? Remember that God is using all of these things to reveal himself. The cloud is not the cloud of cherry because it is. It's the cloud of Cha because of God. The whirlwind is not the whirlwind of God. It's the whirlwind of God because he is using it to show us his spiritual connection, same as the Eagle. Now I know you're saying to yourself, pastor, where are we going with all this revelation? Ah, you understand? We are going somewhere. Well now where do you think we are going? We are going deeper. Why? We have to go deeper. We cannot stay surfaced. We've been surfaced for so long, we gotta go deeper. In the book of Haba, chapter three, verse eight, the book of Haba, chapter three, verse eight. We talking about seeing the word of God through spiritual eyes. That's our title. Seeing Through Spiritual Eyes, I just give you a deeper revelation of what we are seeing seen. So now in her Bible chapter three, verse eight, it says, was the Lord displeased against the rivers? Was th anger against the rivers was thy wrath against the sea that thou did it ride upon thy horses and the chariots of salvation. What? The chariots of salvation. Now we are bringing it all home to our primary goal. He says, I've done all of this just for you. I have shown you things the world can't see just for you. I don't try to sit down and have deep conversation with people who even attend church but don't have the spirit of God. Why? It's a waste of time. They're not gonna see what I see. So I don't waste a lot of time with the now they'll get angry'cause you see it, but they can't see what you see. Oh, let's go ahead and bring it home. Let's go ahead and bring it home. We done we, we done been dancing long enough. Now we're going to take it all home now. And Zacharia and Zacharia, we are talking about Zacharia chapter six verse one. We are talking about seeing the word of God through spirituality. What do you think he's going to bring us to the end to show us? Now all the time we kept talking about Chas. We kept talking about Chas, right? I just told you there were four faces of a beast because they're four beasts now. If you really ready for it, there used to be five cherubims, which is the beast they're talking about. The four beasts used to be cherubs. Now there were five. Where is the fifth one? That was Satan. Same with the fifth one. He was the chief cherin, but he is no longer the cherin for God. Now, oh, lemme go on, lemme go on. And, and we dealing with chapter six verse one. Where, where are we going now? Where are we going? He, he said, I want to teach you some things. And I turned and looked up my eyes and look and behold, there came four chariots. Why isn't it for obese? Phobe for chariots? Don't miss that. Now, all the time we've been seen, we've been saying one, it really was four. They just operate in one line. Oh, we done got deep Now. You don't need to stop now. I, I'm from between two mountains and the mountains. Were, watch this now, and the mountains were as brass. Now I'm ready to give you the revelation so you really can get this together. When the chairman move, they move together. So when you are reading in the book, Ezekiel, it tells you that the Lord. Was in the midst of the Cherin. Thebus had wheels, but the wheel was showing us the spirit of connection of how God moves. When the Cherin moved, they moved as a unit. When they came back, they came back as a unit. In the midst of the cherin was the Lord. That's why it looked like firing chariots. Come on now. Come on now. Wherever you see. The four Bes, which is the four Cher, you saw the Lord. Why? Because they're constantly around the Lord. What are they saying? Holy, holy, holy, holy. Why are they saying that? Because they're constantly seeing the revelation of God. Holy, holy, holy. Look, God, holy, holy, look at you. And they're constantly saying it because they're constantly getting revelation. So when they're moving, they're moving with the Lord on their shoulders. Oh, come on now. Come on. I, I know, I know, and I know and many people can't see this, but that's all right. I'm gonna show it to you. Just open up your spiritual eyes and that's when Ezekiel is telling you about the cher of them. How, how the Lord is there and it is never on. It's his glory. It is his glory. Seeing God and seeing God word through spiritu eyes. Today I took you where very few people can take you in the Old Testament. We know Moses, we heard about Elijah, we understood in the New Testament, John the Revelator. But today, the man of God just brought you revelational knowledge from God himself.
