Day 14 – Foreign Objects
Welcome to the 14th day of fasting and prayer. You’re headed into your final week now, the final seven days. I’m believing for breakthroughs like you’ve never dreamed or seen. Please know I’m praying for you today that God would open your eyes like never before and give you the power of a firm stand. The Bible said in Joshua chapter 4, “After they crossed over the Jordan into the promised land, that they stood in the middle of the river bed to gather the rocks to build an altar.” You’re going to be standing in the middle of your miracles this year as you fast and as you pray. Don’t be shocked at where you end up.
Your Inner Eyes — Wisdom and Discernment
They say that nothing is more harmful to the eye than foreign objects. In fact, God gave you two different features designed to keep foreign objects out: the eyelid and the sclera. The eyelid is the outer protection that we close when we see harmful objects coming. But the sclera, which is the white of your eyes, protects the eyes from the unseen items that try to assault your eyes such as pollen, dust, and tiny particles that can create discomfort or even severe damage. In the spiritual sense, the eyelid would be wisdom for the issues you encounter each day whereas the sclera would represent discernment.
Not every challenge you will face will be seen with the naked eye. Many times, the challenges are only felt or sensed. That’s why it’s critical that you have a prayer time and spend time in God’s Word. Your spiritual sensitivity will give you a “no” in your spirit when everyone else sees only a yes. Your spiritual sensitivity – or discernment – is what will cause you to see the truth in a situation where your physical eyes see just the opposite. That comes through Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God.
Prayer:
Father, bless today those who are fasting and praying with the power of a strong firm stand and a thirst to know You and Your thoughts, and Your ways better. In Jesus’ name. God bless you and keep you. May His face shine on you, be gracious unto you, lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. God bless Jerusalem and God give them peace like never before. Amen.
