Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall surely die, you and all who are yours.”

You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall tell Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land. And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt. But Pharaoh will not heed you, so that I may lay My hand on Egypt and bring My armies and My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt by great judgments. And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord , when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.”

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
https://bible.com/bible/114/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.
Matthew 20:29-34 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/mat.20.29-34.NKJV
Hearing
Every entity has an ear and is driven by what is heard.
Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.
Ecclesiastes 10:20 NKJV
https://bible.com/bible/114/ecc.10.20.NKJV

https://bible.com/bible/114/jos.24.27.NKJV
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

POA Prophetic Impressions by Thamo Naidoo
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.
