Renewing Spiritual Vision: Embracing Faith and Clarity

I believe your miracle ain't gonna look like that of the person's miracle.

Your story is gonna blow the minds of those around you,

because they're gonna start seeing the goodness of God over.

There's no way man could have done this.

There's nowhere human could have done this.

There's no way that anything that had to do with the flesh could accomplish this.

When you look at my life, I want the testimony to be.

It's not by power, it's not by might, but it's by my spirit says the Lord.

Welcome to the CityLight Church Podcast.

Thanks for joining us today, as we look into God's Word and discover the hope and truth that He has for us.

If you want to connect with CityLight Church, feel free to visit us at CityLightNYC.com.

Pastor Boyan Jansik and his team believe that the power of the Holy Spirit is already working in our hearts and minds.

As you listen to today's teaching, remember that you are deeply loved by God,

that you are surrounded by His grace, and that He has a real hope and a future for you.

We got a special guest this morning.

Nathaniel, Saint Eloy, a dear, dear friend of this house.

I've been coming here for many years.

He serves on our Board of Directors as well.

He's a man of God and a brother.

I just sent you those photos of your wedding.

They randomly, you know how iPhone will remind you, and it was all your wedding.

I was a reminder, your wedding had flavor.

Yeah, I was going through the videos and stuff. You were a wedding.

Oh, it was awesome wedding.

Come on up and bless us with the word of the Lord. Put your hands together.

Praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

I preach at a lot of places, and the pastors I preach for, they usually don't get invited to my wedding.

So we're real friends, like we're really, really friends, so I'm honored to be here.

Can we just give Jesus a shout of victory in this place?

I'm ready for this word.

If you were here for first service, act like you weren't here and shout,

like you're hearing it for the first time, amen?

All right, let's get into this.

We're going to get into a Mark, Mark chapter, Mark chapter eight, Mark chapter eight.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Lord.

Can we just pray? Close your eyes for a second.

Can you just put your hands right now over your eyes?

Every person put your hands over your eyes.

Lord, give us fresh vision.

Give us eyes that see beyond the natural and see into the realm of this spirit.

Father, whatever things have been blinding us, whatever spiritual cataracts have been there,

I pray you remove them now.

I pray that you'll give us spiritual eyes love that we'll be able to see deeper.

Open up our eyes into the realm of the spirit that we would see things the way you see it.

We would have your eyes.

We would have your understanding and we'll have your vision in the name of Jesus.

If you believe it, give God a shout of victory in here.

You're getting ready to see at a deeper level.

You know, Jesus even told John, he said, come up higher so I can show you things which you have not seen.

I prophesied.

Can I prophesy over three people?

I prophesied.

God's bringing you higher and you're going to see things you've never seen before.

When God shows you revelation, it's for your advancement.

It's for your prosperity.

It's for your favor.

So when he shows you deeper, it's because he's going to do greater in your life.

How do you believe greater is here?

All right, let's go.

Mark chapter eight, let's go.

Verse 22.

Are you all ready?

Come excited.

I'm always excited to be here.

I think I misspoke early.

I've been preaching here for 18 years.

It's been more like 15, 16 years.

But it's still been a very long time.

And I know I don't look that old.

So God is good.

Your wife told me, she said,

do you age at all?

I said, this is why I love you.

This is why.

You still look the same way.

I'm like, God, I feel like I look old.

I think you for the grace.

You all ready?

All right, Mark chapter eight.

You don't know how it feels.

You don't look older.

God is good.

Because I feel it.

Like, ooh.

Mark chapter eight, let's go.

Verse 22 says,

they came to Beth's say,

and some people brought a blind man

and begged Jesus to touch him.

Verse 23 says,

he took the blind man by the hand

and let him outside the village

when he had spat on the man's eyes

and put his hands on him.

Jesus acts.

Do you see anything?

Verse 24, he looked up and he said,

I see people.

They look like trees walking around.

Verse 25, once more,

Jesus put his hands on the man's eyes.

Then his eyes were open.

His sight was restored.

And he saw everything clearly.

Verse 26 is the last verse.

Jesus sent him home saying,

I don't even go into the village.

May God bless the reading of his word.

The title of my sermon is

Vision Test.

Vision Test.

Have you gotten a vision test yet?

Have you gotten a vision test lately?

I'm not talking about in the natural.

Have you done a vision test in the spiritual?

You see, one of my favorite things

when I was a kid was going to go get a vision test

because I had exceptionally great vision.

I still do God is faithful.

Amen.

But my sister had terrible vision.

And so I would always be reading the board A, C, B, D, E, F.

You can't see.

And she'd be like, I think that's a cue.

No, that's not a cue, sis.

That's a P.

And I would always make it a joke.

I can see, I can see.

And you would do these yearly vision tests to see

if your vision had gotten worse.

And if your vision had gotten worse,

you would need to get some corrective vision

help glasses, contacts, whatever it is.

And I remember recently, a few years ago,

my son, Judah, who's now five years old,

he started having vision problems.

And the way me and my wife recognized the vision problems

was that he started looking at things

and he was squinting.

Any time he would look at anything, he would start squinting.

And we realized something is not right.

But he was too young to go to the traditional route

and actually read the letters on the board.

So we had to wait an entire year, get a specialist

and ophthalmologist, not an optometrist.

This is like a whole nother level.

We had to get an ophthalmologist, pediatric ophthalmologist.

It took us one year to get that appointment.

Some places had a year and a half, two years appointment.

It took us an entire year to get the appointment.

It was during COVID.

And what they would do is they would put some drops in your eyes.

And when they put the drops in your eyes,

they were able to go in, they used this machine.

This technology is insane.

And they would be able to look into your eyes

and see literally what your vision was

without you having to read a board

or doing any of that other stuff.

And so they did this test for him,

because we were so concerned and worried,

like what's going on with his vision.

And they did this test for him where they looked right into his eyes

and they were able to tell us well,

his vision is plus 7.75 in both eyes.

Basically, he cannot see.

So he was living about three years of his life,

basically unable to see anything.

We saw issues in his behavior.

We saw issues in his academics.

We saw issues in his speech.

And for us, as concerned parents,

we're like something must be wrong with him.

We even took him to developmental pediatrician thinking.

Something is wrong with him.

He's not right.

He's not connecting properly.

Is he okay?

Maybe it's autism.

Maybe it's something else.

And we wanted to believe the best.

Of course, we're believers.

We're praying.

We're seeking God.

And it was something as simple as vision.

And then that's when the Holy Spirit began to speak to me

and say that a lot of you have been focusing

on the fruit but not the root.

I'm going to say that again,

some of y'all didn't catch what I'm trying to say.

What I'm trying to say with Judah,

I started looking at the fruit.

He's misbehaving.

He's doing well academically.

There's all these things going on around him.

And I thought maybe something's wrong.

It was a simple explanation.

He needed correction in his vision.

And that's when the Holy Spirit said,

my people are the same way.

They've been looking at the symptoms

but they have not gone to the root.

And the root why you are where you are in life

and you're not seeing any fruit spiritually.

You're not seeing God moving your life.

It's because you lack spiritual vision.

But today the Holy Spirit said,

I'm getting ready to open up your eyes

so that you can see clearly.

I'm getting ready to give you supernatural vision

so that you can see the business the way God sees it.

So you can see your wife the way God sees her.

So you can see your husband the way God sees him.

So you can see your kids the way God sees them.

So you can see city light church and this ministry.

The way God intended it for it to be.

Somebody makes some noise and say,

I'm getting my vision back.

Whoo.

Some of you you've been praying,

you've been fasting,

but you've lost your vision.

And today there's a Holy Spirit vision test.

You're getting your vision back.

Oh, y'all got a shot like you believe it.

I'm getting my vision back.

Spiritually some of you are just coasting.

Like Pastor Boynard said,

you're coasting through life.

While the world is in chaos and confusion.

While there's wars and rumors and war.

While Israel is in a battle right now fighting for their lives,

fighting against every nation around them.

While the world is in chaos in Palestine.

While the world is in chaos in Ukraine.

While the world is in chaos in the United States.

While there's wars and rumors of wars.

While there's storms going on.

Some of you guys are coasting.

But I hear the spirit of the Lord say,

you need a vision test.

Because you've lost your vision in prayer.

You've lost your vision for fasting.

You've lost your vision for pursuit after the presence of God.

But after today you're getting your vision back.

Oh, I believe God's going to raise up some strong,

passionate prayer warriors.

Those with an Eliza type of anointing

who are going to pray until manifestation comes.

Who's going to pray and put their head in between their knees

and cry out until the rain from heaven comes.

You're going to get your vision back.

Come on, somebody.

You're going to get your vision back.

Let's look at Proverbs 29 verse 18.

Proverbs 29:18

Look what it says in the New King James Version.

It says, where there is no revelation.

The people cast off for strength.

The word revelation there when you look in the King James Version

is actually the word vision.

The word vision doesn't just mean what you can see.

It means what you can understand by the realm of the spirit.

It means a word from heaven.

It means vision from God.

It means God giving you insight about your future.

Some of you, you have good insight about your past.

But you have no insight about your present and your future.

That means you lack revelation and you lack vision.

Because you know what the devil's whole intent

is to get you to see your past,

but not for you to see your future.

The devil's whole plan is for you to focus on everything

that happened back there and glorify and romanticize the past

and to love the past and to think about the past so much

that you don't see the vision for the future.

Some of you have been so in love with what's happened in the past

that you cannot, you're married to the past

and there's no room for your future.

Some of you are married to your past

and your future is calling you and beckoning you

and you haven't divorced yourself from it.

But in the name of Jesus, today's a day

where I'm giving an annulment letter to my past,

I'm giving an annulment letter to where I used to be,

what I used to do, where I used to go,

who I used to hang out with, the places I used to be,

and I'm no longer there anymore.

Somebody give God a shout.

God's giving me a vision for the future

and my future looks bright.

My future looks big.

My future looks magnificent.

My future looks like God's goodness.

My future looks like I'm raining and ruling on the earth.

My future looks, I'm stepping into my promise land.

My future looks good.

My future looks good.

My future looks good.

I know what's happening in the world,

but my future's bright in God.

Whoo!

You gotta get a vision.

I believe, City Light, this is a season

where God is shifting your vision.

That means you're gonna see more souls one.

Okay, only two people got excited about souls.

What's going on?

If I said God was gonna bless you with money,

hallelujah, hallelujah.

God's gonna bless you with a husband, hallelujah.

The church always hallelujah with husbands and money,

but once you talk about souls, it prays God.

If there's something we should be shouting about in souls being one.

I'm a shout for the money too and the blessing,

but I'm a shout for souls louder.

This is all from God.

Amen.

My God.

Are you ready to get into the text a little bit?

They're not ready.

I'm going home.

I'm just kidding.

preach!

I like that.

Who said that?

Yes. Help me preach.

She's back there.

She's ready.

All right.

So, so, the Lord, there is gonna be a renewed vision,

a renewed hunger, a renewed passion, a renewed desire.

It's gonna be to the point where all that matters is Jesus.

You're gonna see the crowd and the crowd won't matter

because you're gonna be like that woman who wanted to touch the

hem of his garment.

I'm gonna keep going no matter who's in my way

and I'm gonna touch Jesus, right?

So God's gonna give you a renewed vision.

So here's a few things that you can do to get a vision test

according to this scripture.

Liquid says, Mark chapter 8, verse 22 to 26,

Mark 8:22–26

the first thing that had to happen was,

and the Lord showed me this, this is so powerful.

He said, he said, the way that you get vision is that you have

to be careful who you're surrounded around.

Ooh, this is so good.

You gotta be careful who you're connected to.

Cause who you're connected to is gonna determine how far you go in life.

Some of you have not gone far because your connections have not

allowed you to go far enough.

But when you get around the right people, something starts happening

in your spirit, man.

When you get around spiritual people, you get around destiny builders,

you get around people who can look at you and see the God,

dreams and the God visions and the God ideas.

They can look and they can see beyond the flesh.

And they know you by the spirit.

Something arises in you.

A passion arises when your baby begins to leap.

So I want to let you know that God is about to send the friends

and the connections and the network and the people who can see you

beyond where you are right now.

And they can begin to see the destiny on the inside of you.

When you're gonna get around them, your spiritual baby's gonna be

going to begin to leap.

The destiny in you is gonna begin to leap.

The call of God is gonna begin to leap on the inside.

Where you're like, I can't be to mundane anymore.

I can't be stagnant anymore.

I can't be dead anymore.

There's something in you that starts arising when you get around

the wrong people, right people.

When you get around the wrong people, death, destruction.

When God wants to bless you, he sends someone.

When the devil wants to destroy you, he sends someone.

That was good.

I'm gonna say it again.

When God wants to bless you, he sends someone.

When the devil wants to destroy you, he sends someone.

That's why you need to have spiritual eyes.

And you need to begin to pray prayers like God.

Send me the right people.

Send me people who are gonna help push the destiny of God

and the purpose of God.

Not people who are gonna push me back into the things of the world.

Push me back into things you delivered me from.

There's some people that are perfectly fine

if you're doing what they're doing.

Are you smoking weed?

Cool, we're friends.

Yeah.

Won't you like, I don't do that no more.

What's wrong with you?

But we always used to do this together.

You don't understand, I have destiny.

When you have destiny, when you have a call of God,

you realize there's certain things that you should satisfy.

You don't satisfy you anymore.

And people think you outgrew them.

No, I just outgrew the sin.

Ooh, that's good.

Ooh, my God.

I outgrew the sin because the more you matured in God,

sin just becomes more and more disgusting.

The deeper you get in God, you're like,

hmm, why did I even like this?

Why was I even into that?

It starts becoming disgusting to you, amen.

Sin becomes disdainful.

And when you get around certain people,

they will corrupt your character.

The Bible says, the Bible says,

bad company corrupts good.

So when you get around the wrong people,

it will start skewing your way of looking at things, amen.

You start looking at things that are wrong

and saying it's right because you watch too much MSNBC.

Amen.

Oh, this...

Everyone could get abortions.

There's no problem.

What?

This is a person's decision.

And you start looking at things that are wrong,

biblically.

I'm not talking about politically.

I'm talking about Bible right now.

I'm not talking about talking points.

I'm talking about scripturally.

You start looking at what the scripture says

and you start justifying, well, the scripture says this,

but...

Whoo, I knew it was gonna get quiet.

I'm not marrying myself to anything that's not in the word.

The word is my guide to live.

And once you get around certain things,

it starts corrupting your mind to think,

well, you know what, certain things are okay.

You know, well, I got friends who are in this certain lifestyle.

I got friends who are in this certain...

There's no...

There's no...

You should love everyone.

But you should live by it with the word says.

And once you start living by the word,

you're like, man, there's certain things that I can't put up with biblically.

It may be okay culturally.

The culture may say there's nothing wrong with it.

Everyone may be like, oh, this is okay and they pacify certain things.

But I gotta live by the word.

Because what happens is, even though you're like, it's not me,

I'm not doing certain things, I'm not...

What happens is that it starts corrupting you after a while.

Alright, let me prove it to you.

There's a man named Lot.

You know what the Bible calls Lot?

A righteous man.

But you know what it says?

His righteous soul was grieved.

Why was his righteous soul grieved?

Because he was living among all that sin

and it started getting into his soul.

So that means you can be righteous.

And every person who accepts Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior

not because of your works, not because of your goodness,

not because of what you've done,

but because of the finished work of Jesus,

you are all righteous.

Okay, I thought there's a church that believed everyone who believes in Jesus' righteous.

You are all righteous.

He who knew no sin became sin

so that you can be the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.

You are righteous, but as a righteous person,

if you get around the wrong people,

your soul can get tormented.

The Bible says Lot's soul got tormented inside of him anymore,

looking at the sin, looking at the debauchery,

to the point where they came to his house to try to rape the two angels that came

and were fellowshiping with him.

And Lot had the nerve to step out of his house

because sin had become so pervasive in his soul and had tormented them.

You know what, instead of raping these two men,

you guys can have my daughters.

He allowed the culture to come in

and change his perspective of what righteousness looked like.

Have you allowed the culture?

This was nothing like the first service.

This is completely different.

But there are people who are so married to the culture.

The culture has corrupted their minds

to think that things that are not biblical are okay.

It's still wrong.

It's not in the Bible.

This is tough.

But I feel this strong though.

I feel like only heaven can renew your mind.

You need a vision test.

See, there's a Holy Spirit giving you a vision test.

I've come as a spiritual optimologist.

In the Holy Ghost, I'm a spiritual optimist.

You get cover that eye right there.

Cover that eye right there.

Yeah, you see right there?

That's an area where the enemy can come in.

You see that right there?

That's an area where you're seeing things

but you're not seeing it from heaven's perspective.

You're seeing it from the flesh.

You're seeing it from carnality.

But you're not seeing it the way God wants you to see it.

Come on.

See, that's why you got to get around the right people

because there are people who are going to look at you

and they're going to see destiny on you

when you see nothing in you.

There was recently, the Lord was telling me

to step out in a certain area

and the fear was on me.

I said, God, I cannot do this.

I don't have the resources.

I don't have the skills.

I don't have the pedigree.

I don't have the resume.

I don't have the money.

I don't have the connections.

I had nothing.

I had nothing.

All I had was, God, I can't do it.

And I called a few friends.

And it cursed me out in the spirit.

You ever get cussed out in the spirit?

That's the best thing.

That's worse than, like if people say in the afterward,

when someone cussed you out in the Holy Spirit,

they don't use actual cuss words.

They like, they cuss out the devil

that's trying to...

They were abuse Satan.

That's trying to come in.

They're like, let me tell you something.

About the God you serve.

And then they need like a nice little southern accent to it and a twang.

Let me tell you something.

The God you serve is bigger than you.

He's stronger than you.

You may not have the resources,

but he owes cattle on a thousand hills.

You may not have the money.

But my God shall supply all your needs,

according to his riches and glory.

All I did to get a good Holy Ghost cussed out today.

Cussed me out Holy Ghost anytime.

Get the fear out.

Get the doubt out.

Get the pain out.

And allow your spirit to speak.

Hallelujah.

Yeah.

I'm trying to be in doubt.

No, I need the Holy Spirit to come in and tell me who I am.

I'm a child of God.

I can't lose.

I can't lose.

I took way too long on that first point.

Here's my second point.

Some miracles won't happen until God pulls you out of your comfort zone.

We went from victory to everyone.

Jesus was brought this.

This blind man was brought to Jesus in a place called Bethesda.

If you know anything about Bethesda,

the Bible says that Bethesda is the place where Philip came from,

Andrew came from, Peter came from, James and John came from.

It was a place where Jesus took five loaves and two fish,

and he fed five thousand.

Bethesda was a spiritual place.

It was a powerful place.

It was a place where Jesus did countless miracles.

He did countless miracles in Bethesda.

It was a miraculous place.

A few chapters later, if you look at Matthew 11,

he starts cussing out Bethesda.

He's a Bethesda.

If the miracles that were done,

and you were done entirely inside down to evil, demonic nations,

they would have repented long time ago.

You know what cursed are you, Bethesda?

And then he curses that land of Bethesda.

I'm like, Jesus, this is insane.

So when they bring this blind man to Jesus in Bethesda,

Jesus looks at Bethesda and is like,

I can't do the miracle here.

I can't do the miracle in the place where I used to move,

where you don't let me move anymore.

Some of you are spiritual Bethesda.

Well, I knew this one was going to hurt.

If you can't say amen, say ouch.

Your place is where Jesus used to move.

Where Jesus used to speak to.

Where Jesus used to manifest.

Where Jesus used to allow.

You should just allow his person who just sit for hours in his presence.

Now you're Bethesda.

I don't know if I really believe in that kind of stuff anymore.

I don't know if Jesus is going to really do this.

And then now you're a place of doubt.

And Jesus, they try to bring Jesus, this blind man in Bethesda.

And the Bible says, Jesus, like,

you can't get the miracle here.

He takes him by the hand and he pulls him out of Bethesda.

Come on, come on, the miracle can't happen here.

You have to understand something.

This man is blind and Jesus is like,

I'm going to mess up your whole concept of what I'm going to do.

Pulls him out of the city.

There's some stuff.

The Holy Spirit got to pull you out of or is going to kill you.

Acts lot.

We're talking a lot about lot here.

The Bible says, it got to the point.

God kept telling a lot.

This ain't a good place for you lot.

This is not a good relationship for you lot.

This is not a good friendship for you lot.

This is not a good job for you lot.

This is not a good city for you lot.

This is not a good ministry for you lot.

This is not the right place for you lot.

And lots like, cool, man, I'm cool.

Look at the land.

Oh, I'm blessed.

I got money in my bank account.

We all good God.

Lot, lot, lot, lot.

Lot.

No, but we're good God.

Well, I'm so praying.

Lot, this ain't it.

I'm going to pray for her salvation.

You better go ahead.

I'm going to do some missionary dating.

She eventually going to get saved,

because you know, I love you so much.

Say, ouch.

Eventually, you're going to bless me at this job,

even though you told me to start the business six years ago.

Eventually, you're going to bless me in this apartment,

even though you told me to buy a house three years ago.

And I waited for the interest rates to go so high.

I'm going to get saved.

I got to pull you out, because the miracle can't happen this here.

It can't happen there.

It can't happen in the place of unbelief.

You know what?

God pulling you out of the city is saying,

I'm going to change my perspective.

I'm going to change the way I think.

I'm going to change from a toxic way of thinking,

a toxic way of doing things.

I don't want to think like this anymore.

I want heavenly thoughts.

I want to repent.

You know the issue with Bethesda,

that the Lord kept saying over and over.

You see miracles.

You see miracles.

You see miracles.

You've seen great things.

But you have not repented.

And repent doesn't mean coming to an alter and crying.

And he's changing the way you...

Because there's some miracles,

unless you change the way you think,

you will never see it in your life.

Some of you, your thinking,

is the thing that has literally held you captive,

has made you bondage to the world

and to the system of this age that you're thinking.

Once you start changing your thinking,

you're going to be the perfect candidate for the supernatural.

But it's your thinking.

Even Jesus, he's a repent for the kingdom of God as that hand.

You want to see the kingdom manifest?

Change the way you think.

Repent is two words.

Read to turn.

Pent like the top of a building.

You got to think on a higher perspective.

Repent means I'm not thinking low.

Because the world thinks low.

The world thinks here.

The world thinks here.

Do not be conformed to this word with the form of the word.

Be transformed.

Trans means over or above.

I can't think like the world thinks.

And get the manifestation of heaven in my life.

If I want the manifestation of heaven,

I've got to start thinking like I'm in heaven.

Because the Bible says you're seated in heavenly places

with Christ Jesus.

That was a little too much.

Can I go to the next point?

Yes, some miracles can't happen in the comfort zone.

You've got to step out of that comfort zone.

I had a lot more to say.

But that's cool.

God pull them out.

Pull us out.

He's going to pull you out of that thing.

You let him.

Let him.

He gave you all the signs.

Red flag here.

Let him pull you out.

All right.

All right, my next point.

Stop lecturing God on how he should do the miracle.

Oh, this is my favorite point.

Because a lot of us like, God, please use me.

God, please do the miracle.

And God's like, yeah, the miracle's going to come through some stuff.

I'm good, God.

You were Indian, give or take her back.

Okay, God.

If I got to go through this for the miracle, I don't know if I want it.

Sometimes the miracle means you got to go through the process.

And the process sometimes doesn't feel good.

You have to think about it.

This blind man gets dragged out of a city.

He don't know Jesus.

I don't know you.

I can't even see you.

And you're dragging me out of a city.

I don't know you.

And Jesus comes and drags him out of a city.

And then the next thing Jesus does is he does the miracle in the weirdest way.

Because if you look at verse 22, when his friends bring him to Jesus,

his friends said, can you just touch him and heal him?

So his friends had a perspective of how the miracles should look.

He's going to touch you and the miracle is going to happen.

You think it's going to be some easy process?

Oh, God.

There's like 12 other times in the scriptures.

Jesus just touched people and the miracle happened.

He just touched people and then boom.

It was that quick, that easy.

And they saw all of that.

And they're like, this is how the miracles going to happen this time.

And Jesus goes, no.

Have you ever been in a place in life where you look at other people's life

and you're like, man, that miracle just seems so easy for them.

Now, he was just like a straight line for the supernatural.

And for you, the Holy Spirit is like, make a right.

Left.

Go down.

Go up.

Touch our slide.

You're like, holy spirit.

How come this is not easy for me like it is for everyone else?

I got to go through all this for the miracle.

And God's like, the miracle I want to do for you is different than the miracle I did for them.

So the process won't be the same.

Look, he just touched them.

He just touched them.

That's all you do.

Touch, touch, heal.

Cool.

Jesus, can you just do that for me?

Why you got to come drag me out of the city?

Then the next thing Jesus does is crazy.

Hold on, Jesus.

I'm blind, but I can hear.

I might be blind, but I can still hear.

And I know what it sounds like when someone's spitting.

It doesn't seem normal.

But those are the greatest miracles.

When God does something out of the box, it's proof that you're loved.

That's what Jesus never healed anyone like that again in the Bible.

Your miracle that God's about to do in your life is going to be unique.

That shows me that God's thinking about you in a way he didn't think about anyone else.

Oh, three people, that got me excited.

I believe your miracle ain't going to look like that other person's miracle.

It's going to be your story.

It's going to blow the minds of those around you.

Because they're going to start seeing the goodness of God over.

There's no way man could have done this.

There's nowhere human could have done this.

There's no way that anything that had to do with the flesh could accomplish this.

This had to be done by the Holy Spirit.

When you look at my life, I want the testimony to be.

It's not by power.

It's not by might, but it's by my spirit says the Lord.

I want my testimony to be if it had not been for the Lord on my side.

Where would I be?

I want it to be God arrives.

And his enemies be scattered.

I want it to be that God did it.

The victory came from God.

Jesus, I know a spit sounds like what?

You couldn't just touch me, Jesus.

12 other times, you just touch people.

You could just touch me.

You didn't even touch the man with leprosy.

Jesus, you don't want to touch me.

You want to spit on me, but they were the God with leprosy.

You didn't spit on him.

See, I put myself in the scriptures.

I would have been like, Jesus, no, no, no, no, no.

There was a man with leprosy.

I heard you just touched him.

I would be like, I heard Jesus.

Where are you?

I don't know.

But you just touched him, Jesus.

Why are you going to do this to me?

He makes some mud, puts it in his eyes.

Hello, Jesus.

You were going to touch me anyway.

Jesus, he put it, then he touched him and laid hands on him.

He was going to lay hands.

You don't touch me anyway.

And then you...

The Bible says, when he puts his hands on his eyes,

he says, what do you see?

He goes, I see men like trees.

Some of you are content with that level of vision.

I can kind of see, but this was proof of one thing to me.

He used to be able to see.

Because he knew what a tree looked like.

He knew what people looked like.

He was able to see before.

And so he's like, I can kind of see, but I can't...

And some of you have been content with half vision.

I'm my dad, right?

He had cataracts for years.

I mean years.

And he was just living life with cataracts.

Driving with cataracts.

I mean, basically driving blind.

Living blind.

But it became such a part of who he was.

It became such a part of who he was that he didn't even realize he couldn't see

until he got the surgery.

Then he's like, I really couldn't see.

And he just kept getting progressively worse and worse and worse.

And he's like, I'm just going to live with it.

I'm just going to live with it.

I'm just going to live with it.

And he was living with vision that was thwarted, vision that wasn't clear.

Vision that didn't...

That wasn't able to allow him to live the fullness of life that he should have been living.

But I'm okay with half vision.

I'm okay with partial vision.

I'm okay with God not speaking to me anymore.

I'm okay not reading the scriptures for weeks and just coming to church and it's okay.

I'm okay just living and sin and sleeping around is cool, God, but you still love me.

Say ouch.

But here's a good news.

Today, the Holy Spirit is giving you a vision test.

And by his spirit, here's where he's going to do.

What do you see?

You don't see full.

Hold on, hold on.

Let me touch you again.

I prophesied that this is a second touch for you.

Woo, come on somebody.

I prophesied that the Holy Spirit is touching you in a deeper way.

Like never before.

I mean, he's going to touch your eyes.

You're going to see so clear.

The Bible says as soon as Jesus touched his eyes the second time,

like the man said, I see clearly.

I prophesied this is your year to see clearly.

Can I speak over city light church, city light church?
