Faith is not blind—it sees. To walk in faith is to see as God sees.
When we walk in love, our spiritual sight is sharpened. Love clears the lens of the heart, giving clarity in prayer and accuracy in discernment. It is love that enables us to perceive the true challenge and to pray with precision.
Yet Scripture warns us that spiritual sight can be accessed illegitimately—through demonic and forbidden means (Deut. 18:10–12). But for the believer, true sight is a gift of grace, granted through the Holy Spirit. In the New Testament, the Spirit of truth opens the eyes of our understanding, illuminating both the written Word and the revelations He chooses to grant through dreams, visions, or divine impressions (John 16:13; Acts 2:17).
Every believer has the capacity to see and to hear spiritually. But walking in love is the guaranteed pathway to understanding and obedience in God’s Word. As John reminds us, “His commandments are not grievous” (1 John 5:3). Love aligns us with God’s nature, making revelation accessible.
Isaiah declares of the Lord: “Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done” (Isaiah 46:10). This is why faith sees ahead. It perceives outcomes before they manifest. It is a knowing within, a witness of the Spirit in our inner man (Romans 8:16). The Word of God matures us to this level—bringing us from merely hoping to a place of knowing.
As Peter exhorts: “Add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge…” (2 Peter 1:5). Faith grows as we feed on the Word, and the more we see in Scripture, the more our faith produces results. Conviction is born of sight; every true persuasion in God’s Kingdom begins with revelation.
Paul asks in Romans 10:14, “How shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?” The Word is preached so that men may see. Once sight is granted, faith arises, and belief becomes possible.
Jesus Himself declared, “This is the work of God, that you believe on Him whom He has sent” (John 6:29). Believing, then, is the great work of the Kingdom, and it flows through the Word of God and is energized by love.
Peter further warns: “But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins” (2 Peter 1:9). Blindness in the spirit is not the absence of physical vision but the inability to perceive truth and direction in God.
Everything in Scripture is designed to open our eyes—to make us see and thereby bear fruit (Psalm 119:18). To hear, to read, to meditate, and to walk in love is all unto this end: that we may see.
Faith is our sight in the Spirit. To doubt is to walk in blindness. But to believe is to walk in the light of revelation.
We must, therefore, pay the price to see. Spiritual sight comes in three dimensions:
- Inner Knowing/Sensing—the inward witness of the Spirit.
- Revelation from the Word—light breaking forth from Scripture.
- Dreams and Visions—supernatural encounters granted by the Spirit.
Faith cannot operate apart from spiritual sight. Your faith is your vision, and this faith works only by love (Galatians 5:6).
In this kingdom, action is always preceded by sight.
- Abraham saw Isaac raised before he laid him on the altar (Hebrews 11:17–19).
- Isaac saw his harvest before he sowed in famine (Genesis 26:3, 12).
So we pray as the psalmist: “Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law” (Psalm 119:18).
May your eyes be anointed to see. And may your faith never fail.
