We are walking in today:  Enlighten My Heart.

Ephesians 1:9-18 9) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: 10) That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him: 11) In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will: 12) That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ. 13) In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, 14) Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory. 15) Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, 16) Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; 17) That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: 18) The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.  Enlighten is defined to give spiritual and intellectual insight, to impart knowledge, to give light.  Fiveamprayer this is the year that you will see.  God has spoke a powerful word this week, on Monday we are to look at this with spiritual eyes, then on Thursday we are to ask for insight, then today for our weekend meditation we are asking God to enlighten our hearts!  God is giving us spiritual and intellectual insight--oh taste and see that the Lord is good!  I have a new revelation of knowledge.  Eyes are literally the organ of vision, but in Paul's use it is obviously figurative, it is a beautiful picture.  The heart being regarded a having eyes, looking out towards God and all of the spiritual blessings that have their source and supply in God's beloved Son.  We learned from Daniel and also in Paul's prayer, that as a man thinks in his heart--his spiritual interior would determine how he walks.  And so he prays that those saints might be able to grasp the breath, height and depth of the great truth in this chapter.  So that they might be enabled by the indwelling spirit and the riches of God's grace to order their steps in a manner which is pleasing unto the Lord.  Tell God to open your eyes, to uncover which otherwise is normally concealed. What the eye is to the body that is what the mind is to the soul.  The eye is the instrument by which we see and in like manner the understanding is by which we perceive the truth.  The idea here is that Paul not only wished that their hearts to be right but he wished for their understanding to be right also.  Tell God to enlighten your heart to see and receive.  Here are some scriptures that will help you with enlightening your heart over the weekend.  Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not.  Jeremiah 29:12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you.
We got to know right now, to ask God to enlighten our hearts!  Not only to ask God for insight to also look at this with spiritual eyes. That He would enlighten our hearts.  Acts 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave their testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.  God looks at our hearts.  Thank You God that you are not looking at out outer sinful selves.  Paul prayed that God would give them enlightenment and insight, grace and mercy, revelation and wisdom.  Get ready for a double portion!  God knows the plans that He has for us!  That we would say not our will, but Thy will be done!  As Pastor Taffe has taught, God even prepares us with places of refreshment--1 Samuel 14:27 But Jonathan heard not when his father charged the people with the oath: wherefore he put forth the end of the rod that was in his hand, and dipped it in an honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes were enlightened.  That we could taste and see that the Lord is good!  That our eyes are enlightened by His mighty hand!  That what we need is already prepared for us!  Fiveamprayer, we are to walk this out by faith and not by sight!  Our thoughts are not His thoughts nor His ways like our ways.  Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith!  We must open our hearts to the word of God!  Psalm 40:8 I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. Proverbs 7:2-4 2) Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. 3) Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. 4) Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman.  Look at that--that we would be able to say that wisdom and understanding is in our family!  You know what they say birds of a feather, and all.  That we would have that impartation of wisdom and understanding that we no longer walk as we used to!  Thank You God for enlightening our eyes that we are no longer only looking at this with natural eyes.  That we would become so in tune with God that we would not need to put so much reliance in our natural vision.  Much like a movie character that walked from one side of the county to the other--without the aid of natural vision only spiritual sight and God's word in his ear and written in his heart!  We have to open our hearts to hear from God!  Ask Him to enlighten our hearts that we would lay aside every weight that comes against us!  Thank You Lord for enlightening us that we forgive, that we too are forgiven!  Enlighten our hearts that we can walk in Your peace that surpasses all understanding!  Enlighten our heart to see that it is revelation time.  That He is calling us back to obedience.  We come seeking, knocking and asking.  That when we speak, we speak Your word.  That word that we speak is powerful and will bring things to pass!  As You have done we do the same!  John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.  John 10:34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?  Psalm 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.  Ephesians 1:5  Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.  Lord we are asking that a change would come over us!  That if You don't do it, it won't be done!  That You would order our steps that we can walk this out as You lead, guide and direct us!  That when we read Your word it comes alive in our lives, that we know that provision is already provided unto us!  Enlighten our hearts that we know that many are the afflictions of the righteous but the Lord delivers us out of them all!  He will deliver us!  Enlighten our hearts God!  That we no longer do the old things any more!  The Lord is our Shepherd and we shall not want!  Thank You God for keeping and protecting us, even looking for us when we are lost and wandering around.  We will read the word differently now, with our enlightened hearts!  Thank You God!  Our souls need You!  Thank You for giving us an anchor for our souls!  Enlighten us to taste and see that Your word is good!  That we would eat the word like You told Ezekiel, Ezekiel 3:3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.  Fiveamprayer we are to to see--it is no longer a mystery!  Revelation 10:8-9 8) And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and said, Go and take the little book which is open in the hand of the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the earth. 9) And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.  God is sending us His word on this line, every morning, on the blog and on facebook.  He wants us to know and have His word in us!  There is so much that we come across throughout the day, that we have to be renewed, and washed daily and even several times a day!  We may not like it all but God works all things together for the good of them that love the Lord!  What are you holding in your heart, that is blocking what God wants to do through you?  Think of all the kinds of stuff that goes through your heart daily, ask God to enlighten your heart.  Ask God to give you a clean heart!  Thank You for this word!  Thank You for opening our spiritual eyes to see things as You see them!  We asked for insight and then today You come to enlighten our hearts!  Thank You God!   We wanna see things Your way--that we are operating in the spirit; that we would walk in the fruits of the spirit; that we would always be anchored in Your word!  Thank You God for coming by to enlighten fiveamprayer!  We are asking for more of You!  We are getting more knowledge and wisdom when we read Your word.  Thank You for giving us vision.  Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.  Job 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.  Thank You God for sending us Your knowledge that we are enlightened to the higher things of God!  We want to see things Your way!  Give us a clean heart we are calling out to You Lord.  Fix us Lord!  We are in need of Your repair and Your restoration.  It is us oh Lord, standing in the need of prayer!  We don't wanna walk in doubt, fear or worry anymore!  Fix out hearts Lord, that we would only have Your word in our heart, that would be all that we speak.  You are the Great Physician, the best Teacher--thank You for healing and teaching us!  That we can sit at Your feet, that You will pour our Your word on us!  You are the only Teacher!  We need You to enlighten our hearts!  We need wisdom, knowledge and understanding!  You always give double--insight and wisdom!  Wisdom and revelation, another double, there is nothing like our God!  That He would give us spiritual and intellectual enlightenment!  Fill us with Your Holy Ghost Spirit!  We need a deeper understanding of Your word.  We are asking for insight!  Thank You God for answering our prayers!  Deuteronomy 30:6 And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.  Fiveamprayer, it is time to circumcise your heart. Thank You God!  We love You!  We lift up fiveamprayer, You know what we stand in the need of, You know our end from the very beginning!  You are Alpha and Omega, there is nothing beyond Your sight or power!  We lift up prayer requests those known and unknown, the saints are crying out that You would enlighten our hearts.  We come to repent for asking for the wrong things or at the wrong time.  We repent in the name of Jesus!  Thank You for giving us daily bread, that we walk this word out daily! Thank You God! 

We seal this prayer in His precious blood, by His Spirit:  Enlighten my heart, Lord!  1 Samuel 13:14  But now thy kingdom shall not continue: the Lord hath sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain over his people, because thou hast not kept that which the Lord commanded thee. 1 Samuel 16:17  And Saul said unto his servants, Provide me now a man that can play well, and bring him to me.


Welcome to the overflow...

Psalm 24:3-5 3) Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5) He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.  Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with theeMatthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
Deuteronomy 5:6 I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.  We gotta realize that all of our thoughts and feelings come from our heart.  Which is the symbol of the mind and will of man.  In a figurative sort, all emotions and feelings are from the heart.  Deuteronomy 6:5 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.  Luke 6:45  A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.  We gotta ask God to enlighten our heart so that we can see!  Hallelujah!  Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.  Thank You LordI know that you feel it because it starts in your heart!  You get this feeling in your heart, fiveamprayer!  Teach us to love like you Lord.  How will they know us?  By the love that we show others.  What ever is in your heart will show.  Enlighten our hearts, clean us up.  Fix us Lord!  Prune us and strip some things from us!  Wash us in the blood that will never loose it's power!  Wash us that we may come out white as snow.  To deal with our sight we gotta deal with our hearts.  He is not done with us yet!  Keep asking Him for insight, that you would have a deeper relationship with Him!  We are going to a new level, a new realm with God!  Thank You God that You are mindful of us!  We are gonna get this walk right!  That our steps are ordered by the Lord.  We praise Your name!  Give Him glory this morning!  We need to do a self-check.  This thing starts with us first.  Many problems can be resolved with a exam of ourselves and corrections made there first.  That correction of yourself will make things much better!  Humble yourself, God will lift you up!  All weekend long pay attention to what you are speaking--it was in your heart first.  We know that the heart is evil and deceitful.  Sometimes you have something in your heart that does not need to be spoken out loud.  Some things God has shared with you and it is a revelation for you to watch and pray, not to tell someone else.  You can't say everything that you think or what is in your heart!  Some times we need to be still and quiet.  Teach us Your way, Lord.  Lead us to a Rock that is higher than I!  He will open up the book to you--insight, enlightenment and understanding!  Visit us on facebook and have a supernatural blessed weekend!
