Our women’s bible study group just finished a book by Havilah Cunnington called Created to Hear. In this book the author lays out four ways people hear God and she invited us to explore our bent. The four ways are hearing, seeing, feeling and knowing. I am a hearer. I hear God and I love to hear His voice. Others in our group were seers and they see angels, pictures and even movies as the voice of God. Some are feelers, they pick up things in the atmosphere, they have deep compassion, they feel the voice of God. Finally, there are some who are knowers. They just know what God is saying or doing. They just know and can’t be moved on what they just know. It was an incredible study as we as a group realized we need each others gift to establish the voice of God we are hearing and to see the bigger picture God is speaking. It was an incredible time we had together.

This morning the Holy Spirit spoke so crystal clearly to me, saying, “Open the blinds the sun has been shining all along.” He went on to say, “Pray Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1 so people will open their blinds.” Finally, I heard the song, “Let the Light In by Cody Carnes.” It was so clear what I was hearing and the Holy Spirit was so excited to share it, for He wants people to open their blinds and see the sun that has been shining all along. We tend to live with blinds closed and then speak from the dark room we are in, but it is time to open the blinds, and let the light in.

Ephesians 1 says, “I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ.” This is the prayer we are to be praying for those who are living behind closed blinds.

Let The Light In by Cody Carnes says, “It’s time for the sleeper to wake
It’s time for the old winds to change; I hear the Spirit say it’s time; It’s time for the dead man to rise; It’s time for the Great Light to shine; I hear the Spirit say it’s time. Open up the windows, let the light in; Open up the windows, let the light in; Open up the windows, let the light in; Let the light in, Let the light in.” This is the song we are to sing over them as we pray for them. It is spring time in the spirit and we must open up the blinds, then the windows, for there is a gentle breeze blowing and the Son has always been shining.
