Phil Beach Jr. emphasizes that seeing God requires spiritual perception rather than physical sight, as exemplified by Jesus and the story of Jacob wrestling with God. He explains that true understanding of God comes through the Holy Spirit, who reveals our spiritual poverty and enables us to experience the riches of our inheritance in Christ. Beach highlights the necessity of confession and humility, as Jacob's encounter with God transformed him from a deceiver to Israel, a prince with God. The sermon encourages believers to seek a deeper relationship with the Holy Spirit to unveil their true selves and experience the fullness of God's power and presence. Ultimately, the message is about the importance of having a pure heart to truly see God.

A.W. Tozer emphasizes the importance of imagination in understanding and serving God, clarifying that imagination should not be confused with the imaginary. He asserts that the Bible is the most realistic book, presenting the reality of God, humanity, sin, and the afterlife. Tozer highlights that a cleansed and Spirit-controlled imagination allows believers to see spiritual truths reflected in the natural world. This sacred gift of seeing enables Christians to appreciate the beauty and mystery of the divine. He warns against a rigid mindset that fails to recognize the depth of Christianity.

T. Austin-Sparks emphasizes the significance of the Prophet Isaiah's voice in the New Testament, noting that his prophecies are often linked to Israel's rejection of God's messengers, particularly Jesus Christ. He highlights the tragic irony that despite the frequent readings of Isaiah, many failed to perceive the truth of Christ's presence and message. Sparks warns that true understanding requires spiritual rebirth and the ability to hear with faith, contrasting the blindness of Israel with the enlightenment of those who accept the Holy Spirit's guidance. He challenges listeners to reflect on how the teachings of Isaiah and the prophets have transformed their lives, underscoring the importance of not just hearing but truly understanding and applying God's word. The sermon concludes with a call to recognize the dual nature of prophetic voices, which can lead to both comfort and judgment.

A.W. Pink explores the concept of faith as the 'eye' that perceives the reality of God, as illustrated by Job's declaration of seeing God after overcoming self-righteousness. He emphasizes that faith, like the eye, is passive, directing, quick, capacious, assuring, impressing, wondrous, and tender, allowing believers to perceive spiritual truths and navigate their lives. Pink draws parallels between the physical eye and faith, highlighting how faith enables Christians to see beyond the material world and grasp the eternal promises of God. He encourages believers to cultivate their faith, which grows deeper and clearer over time, leading to a transformative relationship with Christ.
