Optional Exercise:
- Begin by just speaking out praise for God and thanking Him - thank him for this gift, and ask for him to awaken it in you now (read through any of the passages above in this moment too)!
- Then fall into a restful, watchful, expectant silence in the presence of the Lord.
- Now ask God to show you the spiritual reality of the home, room or space that you're currently in right now.
- See if anything shows itself, either good or bad. Remember that seeing with your spiritual eyes is a different discipline to looking through your normal eyes... your eyes are engaged and inline with your spirit and mind, so often you may 'know' something is there even though your natural eyes don't see it (if that makes sense!)
- Depending on what you see, as God what you need to do in light of what you've seen, or what it means. You could even ask why it's there, or how it got there in the first place.
- Share your experience with someone.
Remember, if you do happen to see something bad (ie, not from the Lord) don't be alarmed, even if it's in your house. This happens; it happens relatively often to us in our household & it's a sign that you just need to pray protective covering over the spiritual atmosphere in your house, claim your space again, command anything not of God to leave and welcome in the fiery, holy, protective presence of the Holy Spirit into all your rooms (to be honest, this is good to do regularly anyway).
