God is the ultimate opener of
spiritual eyes, but there are ways we can actively prepare and align ourselves
for this divine intervention. Here are five practical steps:
1.
Receive God’s Spirit
The foundation of spiritual sight
begins with receiving Jesus as Lord and Savior. When we become children of God,
we are gifted with the Holy Spirit—the One who opens spiritual eyes.
“But as many as received him, to
them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his
name.”
—John 1:12 KJV
2.
Ask in Prayer
As children of God, we can boldly
pray for spiritual sight. Scripture encourages us to ask, seek, and knock,
trusting God to respond to our prayers.
“Open my eyes, that I may behold
wondrous things out of your law.”
—Psalm 119:18 ESV
“I keep asking that the God of our
Lord Jesus Christ... may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that
you may know him better.”
—Ephesians 1:17-18 NIV
3.
Activate Your Spiritual Eyes Through the Fellowship of Prayer
A vibrant and consistent prayer life
sharpens spiritual vision. Prayer ignites the fire of spiritual sensitivity,
leading to open visions, divine dreams, and enhanced understanding.
If you feel spiritually blind, begin
to pray fervently. The more you commune with God, the clearer your spiritual
sight becomes.
4.
Feed on God’s Word
The Word of God is the primary tool
the Holy Spirit uses to illuminate our understanding. When we study Scripture,
our spiritual eyes are opened to grasp divine truths.
Paul’s transformative vision of
Jesus was not just the dramatic encounter on the road to Damascus—it was
deepened through his understanding of Scripture. His epistles, especially
Ephesians 3:4, reveal how his spiritual sight was refined by the Word.
“The entrance of thy words giveth
light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.”
—Psalm 119:130 KJV
5.
Seek Eye-Opening Impartation
Impartation is a spiritual transfer
that often occurs through the laying on of hands by godly ministers. For
example, Moses imparted the spirit of wisdom to Joshua through this method
(Deuteronomy 34:9).
Seek guidance and impartation from
trusted, Spirit-filled leaders to unlock spiritual gifts and wisdom.
