Sight is a powerful tool in God's language.
God would ask the prophets, what do you see? God communicates to us through sight.
“The lamp of the body is the eye. If therefore your eye is good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
Matthew 6:22-23 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.6.22-23.NKJV
The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.
Matthew 6:22 KJV
https://bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.22.KJV
Sight includes visions, dreams, trances, mental images, writings.
For God may speak in one way, or in another, Yet man does not perceive it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falls upon men, While slumbering on their beds, Then He opens the ears of men, And seals their instruction. In order to turn man from his deed, And conceal pride from man, He keeps back his soul from the Pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
Job 33:14-18 NKJV

Acts 10
Now as they went out of Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. And behold, two blind men sitting by the road, when they heard that Jesus was passing by, cried out, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” Then the multitude warned them that they should be quiet; but they cried out all the more, saying, “Have mercy on us, O Lord, Son of David!” So Jesus stood still and called them, and said, “What do you want Me to do for you?” They said to Him, “Lord, that our eyes may be opened.” So Jesus had compassion and touched their eyes. And immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him.

Then they brought to Him one who was deaf and had an impediment in his speech, and they begged Him to put His hand on him. And He took him aside from the multitude, and put His fingers in his ears, and He spat and touched his tongue. Then, looking up to heaven, He sighed, and said to him, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” Immediately his ears were opened, and the impediment of his tongue was loosed, and he spoke plainly. Then He commanded them that they should tell no one; but the more He commanded them, the more widely they proclaimed it. And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes both the deaf to hear and the mute to speak.”
Mark 7:32-37 NKJV

Repentance (change of mindset) never takes you back. It takes you forward to a new/higher place in God.
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
to be a covenant for the people
and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind,
to free captives from prison
and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.
“I am the Lord; that is my name!
I will not yield my glory to another
or my praise to idols.
9 See, the former things have taken place,
and new things I declare;
before they spring into being
I announce them to you.”
Isaiah 42:6-9
Righteousness: compliance with divine design.
Every aspect of our lives has to be righteous by divine measure.
Jesus is our righteousness.
Without foundations, what we seek to do for God would be without root.
God is working through families and households of faith. #Abraham.
This introduces the father-son wine skin.
Prayer and true fasting must come back to the church.
We have to detach/separate ourselves to hear God.

Deut. 28:66
But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.
James 1:6-8 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/jas.1.6-8.NKJV
The enemy created enticement and aroused fleshly craving.
Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.
James 1:13-15 NASB
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.1.13-15.NA
Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 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. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man[a] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
God:
1. Declared intent.
2. Created man.
3. Blessed him.
4. Spoke to the man.
5. Placed man in the garden.
6. Commanded him.
7. Gave him the consequences of disobedience.
Deductions.
1. It is human and normal to be blessed of the Lord.
2. It is human and normal for man to hear God. Hearing God should be as normal as breathing.
3. To be prophetic.
Numbers 11.
4. To have a context. A set of circumstances that surround our lives.
5. To obey God within the context.
6.To suffer for violation. Choices have consequences.
If we hear God, we must obey. Hearing and obedience are interrelated.
Romans 12:1-2 English Standard Version (ESV)
A Living Sacrifice
12 I appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.[b] 2 Do not be conformed to this world,[c] but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.[d]
Issues of Image
Colossians 1:15
Hebrews 1:3
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
2 Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth!
For the Lord has spoken:
“I have nourished and brought up children,
And they have rebelled against Me;
3 The ox knows its owner
And the donkey its master’s [a]crib;
But Israel does not know,
My people do not [b]consider.”
Salvation in Jesus Christ restores the capacity to hear.
Objectives.
1. Define and establish clear doctrine about hearing God.
2. Clarify
3. Develop a capacity to eliminate and filter all mystic misnomers associated with false prophetic positions.
4. Activate the innate prophetic gift given to everyone.
5. Affirm. Consolidate the gains.
God's Command
Deuteronomy 6:4-5 English Standard Version (ESV)
4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.[a] 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.

Matthew 19:8 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so.

Hindrances to Migration
1. Wrong Mindsets. 2 Corinthians 10:5
(a) Superstition
(b) Tradition.
(c) Sentimental mindset. So attached to a place that you go astray. Nehushtan.
(d) Illogicality. We move not by sight but by faith.
(e) Toxic mindset. Containing poison. Such Mindsets lack purity.
2. Wrong Company. 1 Kings 11:1-5
3. Absence of faith. Faith dispels fear, propels the believer to take risks.
Mark 10:50-52.
Hebrews 11:6
4. Rebellion. Plain disobedience to the Word of God.
Jonah
1 Samuel 15:22
5. The Flesh.
1 Corinthians 10:5-11
To be carnally minded is death.
Spiritual life. Romans 8 and Galatians 5.
6. Ignorance. Hosea 4:6. 2 Kings 17:32-33
Ignorance and fear led to idolatry.
7. The spirit of fear. The ten spies feared the giants in the land. This inhibited their migration.
Numbers 13:32-33.
8. Material comfort and security.
Luke 12:19-20
It is wrong to trust in riches.
9. The spirit of control
The prophetic voice accelerates migration into the current speaking of God. But the spirit of Jezebel is antagonistic to the prophetic.
10. Spiritual deafness.
Matthew 13:13-16
A lack of sensitivity to the things of God hinders our migration.
Examples of Inaccurate Migration.
1. Demas. 2 Timothy 4:10
2. Elimelech. My God is King. Ruth 1:1-2
Elimelech died in the place of inaccuracies.
3. Lot. Genesis 10:10-13.
Jordan. To descend/decline. Lot descended. He sank to a lower level.
Sodom. Burning.
Gomorrah. Submerged.
Lot camped near the place of sin. His righteous soul was vexed.
4. Abram. Genesis 12:10-11
He left the promised land to go to Egypt. There he acquired Hagar and subsequently had Ishmael.
5. The young Prophet. 1 Kings 13:14-17.
He went to Bethel but in violation of the Word of God. He ended in tragedy.
The thing/system/friend/order that tempts you against God is the very thing/system/friend/order that pronounces judgment upon you.
6. Jacob. Genesis 33 & 34.
Don't try to authenticate an illegality by spiritualizing it.
Instead of going to Hebron, he went to Shechem.
We must wage a good war against hindrances to Migration.
