My child, look up! Lift your eyes and seek Me. It is time to stop focusing on your problems and start looking at Me. Am I not greater than your circumstances? Am I not the God of the impossible? When situations seem overwhelming and out of control, look up and see Me.
I ask you, what keeps you from staying focused on Me? What pulls you away? Don’t you know that I am the God who knows all things? Nothing takes Me by surprise. So, lift your eyes to Me and recognize that I have the answers. I can do abundantly more than you can even imagine. My Kingdom is limitless, and I can and will supply all your needs; however, you must keep your focus on Me.
Stay focused on Me and do not let the enemy or your emotions keep your head down. Refocus and keep your gaze on Me. Speak boldly about what I say regarding you and who I created you to be. It’s time to dream again, but this time I want you to dream with Me. Are you ready?
I want you to know that you are My desire and My delight. I rejoice over you with singing, and My banner over you is love. I keep you in My secret place because I long to be known by you. I want to assure you of My presence in your life and that I will never leave you nor forsake you. When things look difficult or you feel pressed from every side, refocus and fix your eyes on Me again. It’s time for you to come and behold all that I am.
Activation:
Take some time to meditate on 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 and 18. Ask the Lord where you need to refocus your attention. Whenever you find your focus shifting to negativity, circumstances, or problems, say out loud to yourself, “Eyes up, eyes up!” and remind yourself of these scriptures.
8 We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair;
9 hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (AMP)
So we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are unseen; for the things which are visible are temporal [just brief and fleeting], but the things which are invisible are everlasting and imperishable.
2 Corinthians 4:18 (AMP)
[looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, [a]disregarding the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God [revealing His deity, His authority, and the completion of His work].
Hebrews 12:2 (AMP)
Footnotes
[a] Hebrews 12:2 Sometimes the public shame of the cross is overlooked when one thinks of the pain and agony inflicted by it, but in the Roman Empire crucifixion was a shameful and disgraceful way to die, a form of capital punishment from which Roman citizens were exempt; and in Roman comedy it was used in a curse: “Go to a bad cross!”
