Open my eyes

“When the water was gone, she put the boy in the shade of a bush. Then she went and sat down by herself about a hundred yards away. “I don’t want to watch the boy die,” she said, as she burst into tears. But God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “Hagar, what’s wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Go to him and comfort him, for I will make a great nation from his descendants.” Then God opened Hagar’s eyes, and she saw a well full of water. She quickly filled her water container and gave the boy a drink.”

If you go to the Judean desert, you won’t last long without water. 

Hagar when she said, “I don’t want to watch the boy die,” she is saying what many parents are saying. 

“But God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven, “Hagar, what’s wrong? Do not be afraid! God has heard the boy crying as he lies there. Go to him and comfort him, for I will make a great nation from his descendants.””

God not only hears you but hears your child where he is! 

“Then God opened Hagar’s eyes, and she saw a well full of water. She quickly filled her water container and gave the boy a drink.”

She didn’t see it until God opened her eyes. 

What you as a parent put in your child is still crying out for help. 

How much more will God hear the voice of your child who we’ve plead the blood of Jesus on if He can hear the blood of Abel crying out from the earth. 

God opened her eyes and she saw something invisible. 

God has a great plan for your children. 

The eyes of the Lord are upon your family. 

When the Lord opened Balam’s eyes, he saw that he was in the wrong direction. (See Numbers 22 for more). 

When God opened Elisha’s servants eyes, he saw God’s protection. (See 2 Kings 6 for more information). 

The angel are more than the demons that are encamped about you for destruction.

I am called as a Minister of the Gospel and an Intercessor. However, this is not about me. My life is dedicated to making Christ alone. This blog was called kingdomadvance.family.blog because I didn’t want my name on the blog like others do because I feel like it is not me living but Christ living through me.
