What Do You See?

Luke 10:23
23Then he turned to his disciples and said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see.

The seventy-two that Jesus sent out had returned with a great report. For they saw demons submit to them through the name of Jesus. Jesus recounted to them how he saw Satan's fall from grace. But to know that the seventy-two Jesus sent not only worked in His name but Jesus had given them the authority to do so. Jesus recalled how many of the elders and prophets of old wished to see what the seventy-two witnessed. The coming of Jesus and what he would do had been prophesied about for hundreds of years. To know that the seventy-two had first hand witness to not only the miracles Jesus did himself, but what He could do through them was indeed a blessing!! But the blessing doesn't end there. Jesus said to the disciples that they would do more. Do you know that Jesus has bestowed power and authority to those of us who desire to get close to Him? But we lack power because we lack knowledge. Unfortunately, this is one of the enemy's greatest weapons, he relies on our ignorance that way he can perpetuate the same lies and snares over and over. What good is power in Christ if one doesn't know they have it? What good is power in Christ if one doesn't know how to utilize it? Until we come to the knowledge that in Jesus we have power, we will continue to allow the enemy to reign. How about picking up the sword, which is the Word of God? How about using prayer and meditation to speak to the Lord and listening to Him speak back to know which move to make next? How about letting Jesus show you how to go behind enemy lines without so much as a scratch? But what do you see if you do not know? Absolutely nothing.
