Freedom To See

Wednesday, September 9, 2026

Good morning, Lord

Father in Heaven, open my heart and mind, Holy Spirit. Fill my consciousness and complete Your joy in me as I take up my cross and follow...In Jesus' name…

Memory verse: 1 John 1:8–9

8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the 

truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and 

just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all 

unrighteousness.

Verse of the day—Psalm 143:10

“Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground.”

Today’s reading: Proverbs 6-7 2 Corinthians 2

The Spirit Is Freedom to See

This verse is a heart cry from someone who desires greatly to 'see' the 'face' of God. This can confuse some and we want to make sure that this can become a part of your reality without fear of more confusion.

What we will see here on this earth in our secret times of intimacy with God is His glory and we read about this in 2 Corinthians 3:

16 “16 But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed.17 "Now, “Adonai”(God) in this text means the Spirit. And where the Spirit of Adonai is, there is freedom. 18 So all of us, with faces unveiled(reflecting His glory), see as in a mirror the glory of the Lord; and we are being changed into his very image, from one degree of glory to the next, by Adonai the Spirit."

One way we see the face of God is in His glory in us. Don't be unsettled by this, please. Paul says that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. The Spirit of the Lord gives us the freedom to see the glory of the Lord in all creation and Paul says that we can 'see'(deeply experience) the glory of God in us as we are being transformed into His image-the image of Christ(Romans 8:29).

This cannot be taken lightly or with pride. So how do we handle this?

Paul tells us in Philippians 2:5 "Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though He was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men."

We, who are being transformed into the image of Christ in our spirits, must always know that we are servants of our Living God and at the same time, rejoice that He counts us His children who can see His glory in the Holy Spirit living in us.

You may say, "I look in the mirror and can't see God's glory"-well then-close your eyes and humble yourself before His throne-you will 'see' His glory-little by little and the glory will become greater and greater in your 'sight'.-In the Spirit is freedom.

...because He loves us...

Father in Heaven,

Your name is freedom. Give me vision to see You in Your glory in me. Thank You for this Heavenly freedom. Give me Your bread working through this day. Forgive me my short-sightedness and my watching the world. Lead me deeper into Your reality.

God of true Light,

In the name of Christ Jesus,

Amen
