  2. BIBLE CLASS Open My Eyes !

  3. Open My Eyes ! Scripture ref: 2 Kings 6:15-18 SUBJECT: Growth TITLE: Open My Eyes PROPOSITION: We need to open our eyes to spiritual possibilities. Let us pray the Lord open our eyes to 1) Our/My spiritual needs, 2) The lost souls of men, 3) the growth of the church. Objectives: That each would focus upon having a vision and praying the Lord to open our eyes to these things as we go about our daily business.

  4. Open My Eyes ! 2 Kings 6:15-18 - NIV 15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked. 16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

  5. Open My Eyes ! 17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, LORD, so that he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 18 As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Strike this army with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.

  6. Open My Eyes ! About the Text: 1) Elisha and his servant found themselves surrounded by the Syrian army. 2) Elisha's servant was worried. 3) But Elisha was not. 4) He knew that God was with him. 5) He prayed for the eyes of the servant to be opened. 6) When they were, the servant saw the armies of the Lord revealed. .

  7. Open My Eyes ! We need spiritual sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7 7 For we live by faith, not by sight. For we walk - To walk, in the Scriptures often denotes to live, to act, to conduct in a certain way; It has reference to the fact that life is a journey, or a pilgrimage, and that the Christian is traveling to another country. The sense here is, that we conduct ourselves in our course of life with reference to the things which are unseen, and not with reference to the things which are seen.

  8. Open My Eyes ! For we walk by faith, and not by sight. Faith is a grace which answers many useful purposes; it is the eye of the soul, by which it looks to Christ for righteousness, peace, pardon, life, and salvation; the hand by which it receives him, and the foot by which it goes to him, and walks in him as it has received him; which denotes not a single act of faith, but a continued course of believing; and is expressive, not of a weak, but of a strong steady faith of glory and happiness

  9. Open My Eyes ! There are some things we can't see unless we look with the eyes of faith. As we grow our mission becomes clearer. 1 Corinthians 13:11-13 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love
