"God, Show Me What The Enemy Does Not Want Me To See"

“You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.

-Ezekiel 28:14 (NKJV)

“God, show me what the enemy does not want me to see.” 

I first read about this prayer in a post from Doug Addison, from October, 2013; titled "Breaking Through Your Own Ceiling".  Doug Wrote:

I had a dream this month that I was standing on a portion of land that I should have inherited from my grandfather of Cherokee descent. It was a small strip of my favorite place on his farm where I played as a child. Someone wanted to buy the small strip of land for $1000 and tried to run the transition by me quickly. I felt rushed but I decided to take a closer look and when I did I noticed a brand new speedboat parked just out of sight on the land. I knew it meant that there are ministries, and spiritual and literal inheritances that the enemy wants to rob from us.

It is time to ask God to reveal and bring forward our generational callings and gifts that we may or may not have been aware of. After this dream I began to pray with a greater authority, calling out all that the Father has for us from our generational backgrounds. This is the time to take greater authority. Ask God to reveal and bring to you generational blessings, gifts and ministries that have been held back or stolen.

My staff and I have been praying a powerful prayer I learned from Arthur Burke: “God, show me what the enemy does not want me to see.” I want to encourage you to pray this simple prayer and watch as God will indeed reveal things right now that will set you free and allow you to move forward.

I love Jeremiah 33:3, that says:

‘Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.’

I love the fact that there are secrets that God wants to tell us, if we will seek him.  God wants to show us (lost) truths, but he also wants to show us (lost) people and even help us find (lost) things.  Did you know God invented "lost & found"?

It should come as no surprise that there is stuff we don't know that God knows, so we call to God and ask him to show us these things.  Recall that James wrote, "you have not because you ask not", and Jesus said, "ask and it shall be give, seek and you shall find, and knock and the door shall be opened; for everyone who asks shall receive, and everyone who seeks shall find, and to everyone who knocks, the door shall be opened."

So, we can ask God for anything; and that's Biblical.  On the other hand, the Devil's work is to oppose God's plans (1 Peter 5:8, Rev. 12) and blind people (2 Cor. 4:3-4).  This brings us to Ezekiel 28:14, where Satan is described, who has the ability to cover or hide things.

This prayer: “God, show me what the enemy does not want me to see”, is very insightful and powerful.  Yesterday, in his prayer focus, Chuck Pierce wrote:

"This is a time to remove the covering that Satan has used to hide blessings. Ezekiel 28:14 says, “You were the anointed cherub that covers with overshadowing wings…” WHEN HE FELL, HE KEPT COVERING OVER RESOURCES AND BLESSINGS THAT ARE IN THE EARTH. God is saying, “The covering that was over certain things -- whether it’s land, resources or favor that the enemy’s been trying to overshadow and cover -- is being ripped off and ripped open. When the angelic hosts come in, all of a sudden they re-align My people, and cause My people to get in a new formation.”

Here is a post from a guy who dared to pray this prayer, “God, what do you want me to see that the devil doesn't want me to see?”
