How important is it to use the eyes of my heart? Journaling by Cathy Kawar

Dear Lord, how important is it to use the eyes of my heart? How have I been using them? How would You have me use them?
I’m a little girl and Jesus and I are in a place where there is a waterfall pouring out… and I’m holding Jesus' hands and twirling around…

Me: Lord, how important is it to use the eyes of my heart?
Jesus: Cathy, it’s very important to use the eyes of your heart because with it you can see visions and receive the discernment that I want to give to you in that moment…

See how in the scene you saw a black hooded figure sneaking behind the bushes and it’s as if he has a camera? When you are connected to Me, you will be able to see what is going on in the spiritual realm and to see and discern that which is demonic too… the enemy thinks he can sneak up and catch you off guard... but when you are with Me and use the eyes of your heart, you will be able to discern the deception and traps and schemes of the enemy.
I have called you to a spiritual battle… all my children need to rise up and put on the full armor of God and be aware that satan is like a lion prowling around… it is time to throw off what weighs down and to run towards the race… some of my children have become asleep… they are not picking up the sword to fight… how will they discern both good and evil?

I need you to pick up your sword… I know you have been knocked down but I am going to help you rise up in strength and power - My power through you… because truly where there is weakness, I am the strength.

Me: Lord, I want to rise up and be aware of what is happening spiritually around me… I don’t want to be “asleep” in any area of my life… help me to pick up my sword and to be confident that I am not alone.

Jesus: Indeed child, you are not alone. I will uphold you and strengthen you and be with you. You need not to fear. Just press into Me, press into My love - My love surrounds you and quiets you. I want to reveal things to you… I want to use you in prophetic ministry where you hear My voice and see and help those in need… help those in bondage and fear…

I have called you and anointed you… and to everything there is a time… now is the time where I am equipping you... where I am training you… you feel overlooked, but I have hidden you for the right time… the time in which I will release My strength, glory, and power upon your life. I am not finished with you yet. I have so much in store for you.

Receive one day at a time what I want to do in your life.

Me: Lord, I receive and I trust You and I believe in You and in Your Word.

Jesus: You have been using the eyes of your heart, you have been praying and looking and asking to see visions when you are in your quiet time or whether in church meetings… and there are moments where you see things… but there are moments where you are distracted and are not fully surrendering yourself to Me. I want you to feel free in My presence and forget about those around you. Forget about protocols and the meetings and the people and just be present in that moment. Believe that I want to show you and speak to you. I want you to tune to flow, to Me. I know that can be hard for you at times when you are not doing it alone… but believe that I too can speak to you the way I do now, in the Church. Believe that when you have the opportunity to pray with someone, I will speak through you… just keep the eyes of your heart and your ears open to Me… keep the channel open and see what I will do. For I will receive My glory through you, my child. Take heart, don’t doubt, and trust and receive.

Me: Amen my Lord, I open up and receive. I will focus on living in childlike faith and not allowing doubts or distractions around me to get in between the channel that is open between You and me. I want to be filled with more of You in each day and moment.
Thank you because you have spoken to me and have encouraged me. I praise Your holy name!
