How to see correctly! 1

“The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching[a] to see that my word is fulfilled.”” Jeremiah 1:12 NLT.

The ability to see correctly determines how we live, respond, and fulfill our purpose. In Jeremiah 1:12, God commended Jeremiah, saying, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” This shows that accurate spiritual vision aligns us with God's agenda. If your current perspective is shaped by fear, stagnation, discouragement, or ingratitude, then your vision needs correction. The Israelites, though delivered from Egypt, failed to see the Promised Land because they focused on giants rather than God's promise (Numbers 13:33). The inability to see with faith can limit God's move in our lives. When you do not see correctly, God is hindered not because He is powerless, but because He partners with your faith and perception to manifest His will (Hebrews 11:6).

True seeing goes beyond physical sight—it involves the eyes of the mind and the eyes of the spirit. Elisha prayed for his servant’s spiritual eyes to be opened, and when they were, he saw angelic armies surrounding them (2 Kings 6:17). When your spiritual eyes are opened, fear is replaced with dominion. Jesus said, “If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came…” (John 10:35), pointing to those who have divine insight and walk in authority. The spirit of wisdom and revelation is key to seeing with your spirit (Ephesians 1:17-18), and it comes through consistent fellowship with God in prayer and meditation. Meanwhile, the eyes of the mind are sharpened through learning—Daniel understood God’s plans through books (Daniel 9:2). To see correctly, cultivate both realms: renew your mind with truth and open your spirit to divine insight. This dual clarity brings transformation, dominion, and fulfillment of purpose.

Prophetic word: The Lord says: “I am restoring your vision. Where fear has clouded your sight, I am releasing clarity. Where discouragement has dimmed your hope, I am lighting your path. I am opening the eyes of your spirit to see beyond the natural. You will no longer walk by what you see in the flesh, but by what I reveal in the Spirit. I am awakening your understanding like I did for Elisha’s servant—I will show you that greater are those who are with you than those against you. I am releasing to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation, that you may know the hope of your calling and the riches of My inheritance in you. Stand up, see correctly, and speak My word boldly, for I am watching to perform it.”

Prayer: Heavenly Father, I repent for every way I have walked in fear, discouragement, and doubt. Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, that I may see You clearly and discern Your will. Just as You opened the eyes of Elisha’s servant, open my eyes to see the invisible realities of Your kingdom. Grant me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Let the eyes of my understanding be enlightened, that I may walk in dominion and fulfill my calling. Remove every veil of confusion, stagnation, and fear. Replace it with divine insight, faith, and purpose. Help me to see with the eyes of the Spirit and to renew the eyes of my mind through Your Word. I declare I see correctly. I walk in truth, I speak Your promises, and I move with confidence because You are watching over Your Word to perform it in my life. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
