In the dispensation of the fulness of times, he might gather together in all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth, even in him. Ephesians 1:10
In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Isaiah 6:1
But he shall receive a hundred-fold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions, and in the world to come eternal life. Mark 10:30
This corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 1 Corinthians 15:53
The mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. Colossians 1:26
The LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul. Genesis 2:7

That in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:7
This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. Joshua 1:8
Then the Lord said to Moses, “I’m about to come to you in a thick cloud in order that the people will hear me talking with you so that they will always trust you.” Exodus 19:9
You are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read by all men. 2 Corinthians 3:2
Jesus said I tell you, you can pray for anything, and if you believe that you have received, you will have whatever you say.
The weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, son of man, prophesy against shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say unto them, Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds, woe be to the shepherds of Israel that feed themselves, but should not the shepherds feed the flocks? Ezekiel 24:1
Apostle is never a title. That's why Paul never called himself Apostle Paul. In each epistle, Paul always starts with Paul, a bondservant of Christ, called to BE an apostle. Therefore, an apostle is a person we are called to become rather than a title in church. God cares about who we become, rather than what we do. An apostle of Christ is someone who has no selfish agendas, but only the agenda of Jesus and His Kingdom. A living proof that Jesus has risen, the Kingdom of God is alive and well. So we should never walk about in church carrying titles because titles only reduce a man. Jesus never had a title, He never asked anyone to call Him Pastor Jesus, or Apostle Jesus, because He is God, He is the Supreme, and He is the I AM, a title that can only limit Him. Spiritual stature is not made by a title, spiritual stature is made by dying to self, and allowing the Christ in us to live through us. So brothers and sisters, let us not use titles to make us feel important; instead, let the Christ in us live through us, and the glory of the LORD rise over us.
Can we see but yet blind? 2 Corinthians 4:4 says the god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelieving, so that they cannot see.. Jesus then said to the religious leaders "you blind guides" Matthew 23:23. So being a Christian is not a guarantee that we can see. Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would open the eyes of the blind and bring prisoners from the prison. Isaiah 49:8, Luke 4:21 Then Paul received his apostolic call directly from Jesus, the head of the Church, to open the eyes of the Gentiles, in order to turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God. Acts 26:18 So yes, the short answer to the question above is yes, it is possible to have eyes to see but yet blind, because the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because those spiritual things must be spiritually discerned. 1 Corinthians 2:14 For He said, My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge, because they have rejected knowledge. Hosea 4:6 That's why we need to take time and seek Him more than ever; we must not settle with a status quo. There must not be blindnesses in our lives. Because Greater is the One that must be in us than the one who's in the world. 1 John 4:4
Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!” Revelation 11:15
You are to undergo circumcision, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and you. Genesis 17:11
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. Matthew 7:13-14
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom.
In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. Daniel 2:44
Now, hold fast to the LORD your God. This is what the Lord says:
If you hold fast to me, I will then make your enemies your foot stood.
Ask of Me, then I will give you the nations.
I will never leave you nor forsake you.
I have begotten you from the beginning of the world.
You are mine, and I am yours.
I have loved you with everlasting love.
I have chosen you before you were born.
Wisdom is the principal thing;
Therefore get wisdom.
And in all your getting, get understanding. EP11

But I want to remind you, though you once knew this, that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe. And the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode, He has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness for the judgment of the great day. EP9
You have a God given destiny in Christ Jesus. EP7
