The Word: 2 Kings 6: 17(KJV)
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.

ASKING FOR OPEN EYES
As the fasting prolongs, there is a tendency for tiredness. But we must ask God for renewed strength. It’s in the place of intensity that barriers come dome down. It’s in the place of tenacity that our miracle comes through. We must be determined to finish the prayers with the right intensity.
Our text today talks about the opening of spiritual eyes….. Elisha could see into the spiritual but his servant could not. One of the key benefits of fasting and prayers is:
– Seeing and receiving revelations from heaven.
– Getting answers and clarifications about the things we have been praying about.
Open eyes also helps us to pray aright, so we are not just wasting efforts. The enemy cannot hide when our eyes are open. If we finish the fasting without answers, it will most likely be that we have not applied the right intensity to our prayers. If we finish the prayers and there is demonic harassment and loses, then it will be that we have not applied the right intensity for long enough in the place of prayers.
What do we pray about today?
– New intensity in the place of prayer
– Grace not to be tied
– Open eyes

Open eyes helps us avoid hit and miss prayers….
