If eyes have been opened; if, in any sense - not officially - you have become a ‘seer’ - one who sees: it is going to cost you a lot, it will involve you in a lot of trouble. This matter of ‘seeing’ does that. It was Elijah the Seer, over against the blindnessof Israel. It is a costly thing to be a spiritual man or a spiritual woman in this universe. It is a costly thing, yes, very costly, to hold to a heavenly and spiritual position. It is a costly thing to hold for Christ’s full place; it involves you in trouble. It is a costly thing to have light - if it is true light, God-given light. It is a costly thing to have Life. But remember, it is here, in this, that the power is resident.
