The Power of Touch

Chapter 1: Awakening the Senses to God’s Presence

Father, let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight.
Father, I give You the glory. For You said, “If I be lifted up, I will draw all men unto Me” (John 12:32).

So today, we lift up the name of Jesus. We glorify You, Heavenly Father, and thank You for the privilege of serving Your Kingdom. We bless You and thank You in Jesus’ name. Amen.

I’m thrilled to welcome you to a brand-new series titled “The Power of Touch.” Yes, there is power in the touch of God. This revelation was born out of a previous series, but as I continued to study and seek the Lord, I realized this needed to be a teaching all its own.

Let’s begin with this truth: God has blessed us with five extraordinary senses—sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch.Each of these allows us to perceive, experience, and interact with the world around us. What’s even more beautiful is that God touches and speaks to us through each of these senses, not only in the natural but also spiritually.

The Sense of Sight: Seeing Beyond the Natural

Let’s begin with sight, one of our most vital senses. With sight, we use our eyes to detect light, perceive our environment, and interpret visual information. Praise God for our natural eyesight—and even more for our spiritual vision.

There is a deeper layer to sight. It’s more than just physical; it’s symbolic of spiritual understanding. In Scripture, God often uses “sight” to signify revelation and discernment. As believers, we are called to “walk by faith, not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7), reminding us that what we see in the physical isn’t always the full story.

Jesus, during His earthly ministry, restored physical sight to the blind (see John 9:1–7), demonstrating not just compassion, but divine power. However, many of His miracles pointed to something even deeper: spiritual restoration.

Spiritual Sight: Revelation, Discernment, and Direction

God uses sight to reveal visions and dreams, offering encouragement, direction, and sometimes even warnings. Many of us have received clear visions from God that helped us make critical decisions. These visions—whether open, internal, or in dreams—are divine communications from Heaven.

Paul prayed in Ephesians 1:18:

“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.”

This verse encapsulates the spiritual purpose of sight. It’s not just about natural seeing but understanding the deep truths of God’s Word and His will for your life.

God opens the eyes of the heart so we can perceive truth. As we study and meditate on His Word, we gain spiritual discernment—the ability to see things as He sees them and make wise decisions rooted in faith, not fear.

Be Aware of What You See: Guarding Your Eye Gate

As powerful as sight is, it also comes with a responsibility. The enemy attempts to pervert our sight through distraction, temptation, and pride.

1 John 2:16 warns:

“For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.”

Our eyes can lead us to righteousness—or deception—depending on what we choose to fix our gaze upon. This is why guarding your eye gate is crucial in maintaining a life of holiness.

Psalm 101:3 says:

“I will set nothing wicked before my eyes…”

We must discipline our vision, choosing to see life through the lens of God’s Word. Just as the eyes are the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22), so too does our spiritual health depend on where we allow our eyes to dwell.

How God Uses Sight to Equip Us

God speaks through vision. Whether through supernatural encounters, impressions in prayer, or deeper revelation during Bible study, sight is a key channel through which He awakens our spirit.

  • Guidance: God uses sight to reveal the next steps we should take.

  • Encouragement: God shows us that He’s still present, working behind the scenes.

  • Correction: Sometimes what we “see” in the spirit warns us to turn back or avoid a harmful path.

  • Purpose: God allows us to envision what He’s calling us to, aligning our steps with our Kingdom assignment.

Final Thoughts

Beloved, we need to embrace both natural and spiritual sight. While it’s a blessing to see the beauty of creation, it’s an even greater blessing to perceive the Kingdom of God and walk in divine purpose.

Pray that your spiritual eyes be opened. Seek the Lord, study His Word, and trust that He will give you vision—clear, focused, and Kingdom-directed. May we never lose sight of Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

Conclusion:

God uses our senses to communicate divine truth. May we open our spiritual eyes to see through His lens and live with discernment, wisdom, and faith in His direction.
