There have always been many voices saying “This is the way to know God.” Today’s media explosion has created more voices and more confusion. Why then another? Our purpose is to share truth to help strengthen your relationship with God and with other believers in your locality.

Personal connection with other believers cannot be replaced by the mass media. It is much more satisfying to have a deep spiritual relationship with ten believers than to be in a crowd of ten thousand. Every individual is important to God, and His plan involves each one in a very real way. There are things that are important to God that can only take place in close personal relationships.

The goal of God is to build a family of His children together in love, walking in truth. Personal submission and obedience to Christ will bring conformity of each member to Christ, and a growing expression of the nature of God in a local gathering. The testimony going out to the world around will be as a “light set on a hill that cannot be hidden” and “the pillar and ground of the truth.”

Episode 41 Spiritual Sight


The scriptures speak in many places of a “spiritual sight.” What is this spiritual seeing? What do we mean by the “eyes of the heart”? How do we see spiritual things? Why would we not see spiritual things? What is spiritual blindness? To be able to walk physically with confidence we need to see clearly. It is the same in spiritual things. There are critical issues that can either help or hinder spiritual vision. Jesus said in one place to a church that they were blind and should anoint their eyes with eye salve to be able to see. Today we consider some of the elements of this spiritual vision.


• Spiritual vision is a miracle of God’s grace (Eph. 1:17)
o To see who Jesus is (God)
o To see what He is doing (that God may be all in all)
o To see how to move with Him in all things (under his authority)
• Elements of sight
o Eyes to see (a heart given to God and submitted to Him)
o Light (Jesus)
o Walking in the light (Obedience to Jesus)
• From John 9 (The man born blind)
o The man was born blind from birth
o A sovereign act of creation to see
o The physical situation reveals spiritual truth
• From Ephesians 1: 15-23
o These believers had a testimony of “faith and love”
o Paul was in prayer that they might “see” (revelation)
o They needed to know their calling, inheritance, and power
o Seeing these things would allow them to function as the Body of Christ
• From Revelation 3:14-22 (Laodicea)
o Thought that they saw but were blind
o Only Jesus can give the spiritual vision we need
o There is a price to pay
