God in His sovereignty, and being the Chief Architect, constructed our bodies and designed them with such detail and intricacy, that we are very near a form of 'perfection" when we are in His good,acceptable,and perfect will, because, ultimately, we were created in His "likeness" and in His image, and in "due season" we shall be exactly "like" Him, for we shall "see" Him as He is. Most of the "goodness" that God gave us, we so take for granted, that we aren't even aware of it's utter significance, until it's no longer functioning or available. This gift of "sight" is one of those mysteries,and awesome treasures, that' is so often abused,by the things we subject our 'vision" or eyesight to, and the fact that we handle it as if it's something owed to us. To be "sighted" in the world, is an irreplaceable gift, because it grants one a perceptible, almost tangible appreciation for the beauty of all that God has created, and spoken into existence for man to experience, thrive from,and enjoy. From the gift of "sight', one is compelled to have the desire to reach out and "feel", "touch", "smell", and "taste, because at man's very basest of nature, we are "visual" creatures, who respond on all levels to what images are captured by our retinas, and stored in the archives of our "mind's eye"! How we capture or reflect the image of what our eyes envision, affects our desire or lack of for it, whether it be food, a nice designed suit, the packaging of a perfume, the "packaging" of that "man/woman", who puts a sanctified smile way down in your soul, or the high gloss of that Mercedes coupe, that was engineered to have that very effect on you,and everybody else who stopped to drool over it. The laws of "attraction",and attractability would be , pretty much, null and void, without the dynamics of "seeing" and sight, and this is why most "blind dates' are disappointing disasters for most people, because their "psyche" or "mental eye" is in control and apprehensive, and the natural "eyes' don't know how to prepare for the unexpected and the unknown, so when the actual visual contact or appraisal is made, if it's not an unusual 'specimen" of a man/woman, the date is already at a disadvantage, and even the more,because the expectations are focused and riding on whether or not they are externally appealing, or unappealing,for one to really appreciate the things that really matter, like character, substance, and integrity. As hard as we can be on one another in the integration and establishment of relationships based on initial "inventories", we seem to forget that Christ had a "blind date" with every one of us, well over 2000 years ago,and when He encountered us in our miserable, wretched, "sin-ugly" condition, He didn't "cut the date short",give us the "cold shoulder", or ignore us, but rather, He got all the way in our faces, embraced us in our repulsive states of being and corrupt existence, breathed the breath of "new and abundant life" upon us, undressed and redressed us in a brand new wardrobe purchased by His blood, and "claimed" us proudly as His own, and made provision to "take us home' with Him to meet His ,"Daddy God!

If one could view sin, transgression, and iniquity through the eyes or vision of One Who is totally and all together HOLY, one may have a better understanding of the marvelous and incredible thing that Christ did for the "redeemed", by even, so much as daring to "touch" our lives, but then the BIBLE says "What can wash away my sin" Nothing but the Blood of Jesus! What can make me whole again? Nothing but the BLOOD of Jesus!" Herein lies the utter truth,and a truth that will liberate us from taking ourselves and our own "righteousness" and value so seriously. There is a "sight", a "seeing", and a "vision" that is not of this world, does not abide by or fit this world's laws, and is not understood by this world, and it is what I identify as "BLOOD VISION"! Blood vision, is the perception of God regarding a person or situation that the flesh doesn't 'see" or perceive,can't see, and will never understand or appreciate! You see,it's the Blood VISION, that compelled Christ to "see" beyond the incredible mess and disaster that we, and our lives were entangled in before salvation, and yet go to the cross, ANYHOW, knowing that at that moment of His greatest suffering, EXCRUCIATING TORMENT AND PAIN, our minds, commitment, obedience, and hearts were far from Him, BUT HE SAW US THROUGH THE PURITY AND POWER OF HIS BLOOD! It was the Blood vision, that allowed Him to circumvent His round trip ticket back to His Father's kingdom, for a layover in hell, and engage the devil in an encounter hell could never win, before making His way back, to be seated at the right hand of the Father that had been waiting on His return with righteous patience. It is this same "BLOOD VISION" that He expects us to view the lost, the rejected, the criminal, the drug addicted, the children of "Cain", the molester, the hookers and their "pimps", the pedophiles, lying wonders, lying preachers, false Apostles and Prophets, whore mongers, thieves, whores, lesbians, and homosexuals, racists and bigamists, and all other workers of iniquity through, because prior to our "blood washing",we fit a few of those categories, but look at us now, and as "awesomely wonderful" and "fierce" as we are, He still can't look upon us, without the "washing of the Blood, because our righteousness is, and always will be as "filthy rags"!

It is "through the BLOOD VISION that a Prophet of God may single out a man obviously as high as a Georgia pine off of heroin or crack, filthy dirty, and mindless, and decree that God's hand is upon their lives, and at the "appointed time" God will use them to go to the nations! This is one of those sovereign moves of God that absolutely "messes" a lot of people up, because they are seeing through the eyes of the flesh what God is seeing and decreeing through the BLOOD VISION, or the eyes of the BLOOD! When Jeremiah was called to be a Prophet, even in His Mother's womb. the eyes of the flesh couldn't have seen such a thing, but through the eyes of the Blood.......The Blood Vision, not only envisions what God sees, but it also activates, stirs, and imparts what the eyes of flesh can't see, deny, or may not see for many years to come! We should all spend our days rejoicing for the Eyes of the "BLOOD" that declared us the righteousness of God, in Christ Jesus,and that spared us from lifting up our eyes in hell. How can we not, mercifully, appropriate and ask God to increase our portion in the "Blood Vision, so that we can be more effective at soul winning, and drawing men from the highways and hedges, in all forms of wretchedness, to come and drink from the wells of salvation, and receive them, rejoicing in sincerity that another firebrand has been plucked out of the fire? How is it that we can weep, moan, and travail at the altar for more "anointing', a "greater gifting", but never think to petition God for a larger measure of His "BLOOD VISION"? Perhaps, it's because it's our selfish nature to crave and desire what makes us look, feel, or be received better, when the increase in the "Blood Vision" will ultimately benefit the lost souls with a one way ticket to hell, and the kingdom, but we also fail to remember this that signs and wonders are going to cease, but the BIBLE says that when we SEE Him, we shall be like Him, so wisdom would have us to seek Him for greater "SIGHT", and I believe that the BLOOD is like a "two-way mirror", and even as He is viewing us through the Blood, to truly "see" Him as He is, we will need to "see" Him through the "Blood" as well!!.
