What a wonderful, encouraging, joy bringing word! We can' t receive, if He doesn' t give, but Glory to God, He is here with us just to give eyes and ears for all to see and hear Him! He truly Is Good and full of Grace and Mercy!!

Thank you, Swarna!

Blessings,

Petra

Yes Petra, He is truly Good and full of Grace and Mercy.

Psalm 101:3 N.I.V. (U.K.)

3 I will set before my eyes no vile thing.

   The deeds of faithless men I hate; they shall not cling to me.

Thanks Petra

Love and blessings

Swarna,

I'm always so amazed at the visions the Lord gives you. This one is no exception. These visions give insight into some of the things I'm experiencing. For several months, for example, I've had an "eye affliction." Part of it is gone now, yet there is more.

As a forerunner, I often experience some things months ahead of others. This is sort of hard to explain. As an intercessor, I have at times had some physical sensations or experiences that have a spiritual meaning.

I've always sensed that my eye "problem" has a spiritual meaning, that it's not a natural problem as some would say. I think I'll go to the Lord, regarding this, specifically asking for a "free eye check up."

Bless you, my friend.

Love,

Ann

Just yesterday the Lord spoke to me that I was "blinded by sorrow".  That the sorrow I carry around in my life has blinded me to His treasures which are "in plain sight" (a phrase a friend of mine often uses).  There was an article in the news about a teenage girl who found a 2 1/2 karat tea colored diamond lying in the dust by the road.  Many people had passed it by but she saw a little sparkle and stopped to investigate it.  She had asked God for treasure and He gave it to her.  She had eyes to see.

I made up my mind yesterday that I would no more be blinded by sorrow.  Early this morning I begin to understand that if I would "speak" the truth (all my springs of Joy are in Him...I am my beloveds and He is mine...He will bring me up out of the valley of Achor and make it a door of Hope, etc.)  That if I would begin to speak these things that my heart would turn and I would believe and see His purposes for me fulfilled.  I too have asked God for treasure and it was in asking this that I suddenly had eyes to see that the treasure was right there lying in the dust of my life...it is the truth of His Word and the Love He bears for us.

This vision you were given confirms.

Thanks Ann, Sherry, Juanita.

Ann, thank you for all the encouragements.

I think I'll go to the Lord, regarding this, specifically asking for a "free eye check up."

Yes Ann, I’m asking for a free check up too.

Matthew 6:22 (New International Version) 

 22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light.   

23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

Thanks Sherry. So true, many of us have been "blinded by sorrow".

Sherry I have been reading your other posts too and they are so enriching and insightful. Thank you for sharing those God Given treasures with us here.

I am learning so much from what you also share in the dreams interpretation forum here on OH. You are a giver, not a hoarder. God has brought us here to edify, warn, build up, enrich, enlighten, one another, through His sent word, for His Glory.  

Sherry, I’m a work-in-progress myself. I haven’t ‘arrived’. God Knows my frailties and continues to deal with them.

I really believe that God wants us to open our eyes and look at the fields.

John 4:35 (New International Version)

35Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

Thanks Juanita.

Thank God for the Lord's persistence in reaching out to us.

Amen. Thank God indeed! Where would we be but for His persistence?

Love and blessings Ann, Sherry, Juanita.
