Proverbs 20:12 (KJV) β βThe hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them.β
Spiritual perception is not just sharper sensesβitβs the awakening of the inner man to divine realities. The hearing ear discerns Godβs voice beyond lifeβs noise; the seeing eye beholds His hand even when hidden. Without this activation, one may dwell near revelation yet remain unchanged. These senses are trained through prayer, obedience, and immersion in the Word.
Elishaβs servant saw the enemy but missed the angelic host until the prophet prayed, βLORD, open his eyesβ (2 Kings 6:17). Natural sight measures threats; spiritual sight reveals Godβs provision and protection. The Spirit helps us interpret life from heavenβs perspective, replacing fear with faith and confusion with clarity.
Jesus said, βHe that hath ears to hear, let him hearβ (Matt 11:15), showing that spiritual hearing is selectiveβit filters truth from deception. Revelation must be matched with obedience for transformation to follow. When ears and eyes are Spirit-activated, we walk in step with Godβs mind and will.
