Date: February 1, 2026
Host: The Potter's House
Speaker: Pastor Touré Roberts

Episode Overview

This episode launches the “I See Angels” series, with Pastor Touré Roberts teaching from John 3 (the encounter between Jesus and Nicodemus) to reveal how spiritual clarity develops, transforms believers, and produces boldness. Centering on the theme of “seeing,” Pastor Touré challenges listeners to move from belief to a deeper knowing—unlocking a new dimension of faith, boldness, and supernatural victory. The urgency of clarity and the journey from spiritual blindness to true sight are illustrated through biblical stories and the transformational arc of Nicodemus.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Foundation: John 3 and the Power of “Seeing”

(02:19–09:10)

• Pastor Touré reads John 3:1–13, emphasizing Jesus' discussion with Nicodemus about being “born again.”
• He unpacks Jesus’ repeated use of “Most assuredly” (Amen, Amen) to signal divine truth and importance.
• The distinction between flesh and spirit birth—entry to God’s kingdom requires spiritual rebirth (not just intellect or tradition).

Key Quote:

“Clarity is not simply about being clear, but it’s having the ability... to see differently. It is a shift in how you see and when you see clearly, that is what creates belief.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (09:10)

2. Clarity, Boldness, and the Journey from Belief to Knowing

(10:00–14:55)

• Pastor Touré connects clarity to boldness; clarity fuels belief, and mature clarity produces spiritual knowing.
• Belief is necessary for salvation, but knowing is essential for bringing heaven to earth and fulfilling purpose.
• He discusses faith’s levels and the difference between “faith in Christ” and “the faith of Christ."

Key Quotes:

“Clarity creates belief. The clearer I am, the more I believe... But clarity that is fully mature takes you from believing to this wonderful thing called knowing.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (10:47)

“Knowing is believing full grown. Believing will get you saved. Knowing will allow you to bring heaven to earth.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (12:05)

3. The Example of Great Leaders—Spiritual Sight Produces Boldness

(17:30–21:10)

• Biblical figures like Elijah, Elisha, and David demonstrate radical boldness, which comes not from personality but perspective.
• When God anoints you, it changes how you see. David’s anointing recalibrated his sight, so he viewed Goliath differently from everyone else.

Key Quote:

“The anointing that David received gave him different vision before it gave him victory. You want victory, but really what you need is a vision.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (20:30)

4. From Victim to Victor—The Anointing for New Sight

(22:00–26:48)

• Pastor Touré leads the congregation in a spiritual exercise, praying for an “eye transplant”—the capacity to see with new, faith-filled eyes.
• He invokes healing and impartation for listeners struggling with spiritual blindness or uncertainty.

Memorable Moment:

“You don’t need no money. You need new eyes. Hallelujah... New eyes, new eyes!”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (25:55)

5. Nicodemus’ Transformation: Curiosity to Courage

(26:48–37:40)

• Nicodemus’ midnight encounter with Jesus is re-examined; it marks the beginning of his spiritual awakening, not an intellectual quest.
• Jesus’ challenge: birth by water (physical birth) and spirit (spiritual rebirth); seeing and entering the kingdom are a progressive journey.
• The evolution of spiritual sight—just being born again does not mean instant full clarity; it’s refined over time.

Key Quote:

“Seeing is a process... When you get saved and you’re born of the spirit, your eyes are open, but they’re still gonna be refined.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (36:02)

6. Biblical Echoes: Unfolding Spiritual Sight

(37:40–49:30)

• He illustrates the growth of spiritual vision with the healing of the blind man (Mark 8:22–25): first partial sight, then complete clarity after a second touch.
• Nicodemus progressively moves from secret inquirer to courageous disciple (John 19:39-40), paralleling how the believer’s boldness increases with greater vision.
• Pastor Touré urges listeners to boldly declare what they are “coming for” in their lives and communities.

Memorable Moment:

“You need another touch... God is getting ready to clear your eyes in such a way that you’re going to see like you have never seen before.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (40:28)

7. Spiritual Sight Transforms Perception and Warfare

(51:37–56:15)

• Seeing right changes how we encounter obstacles. Even when surrounded by threats, we can, like Elisha’s servant, see God’s angelic armies.
• Seeing in the Spirit reveals that we are already victorious and guarded.

Key Quotes:

“If you change your eyes, you will change your life.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (52:14)

“It might look like you are surrounded, but God says, I’m surrounding what’s surrounding you.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (56:14)

8. Activating Angels and Using Spiritual Tools

(56:15–61:12)

• The importance of activating angelic assistance through faith and prayer instead of carnal strategies.
• “Prayer releases angels,” he notes, and these angels are assigned to our prayers and purpose; spiritual ignorance leaves heaven’s resources unused.

Key Quote:

“When you use inferior weapons... the angels have their hands crossed and folded with nothing to do, because [they] cannot be activated by carnality. They are assigned to your purpose.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (59:00)

9. Applying the Message: Invitation, Prayer, and Next Steps

(65:00–72:08)

• Pastor Touré extends heartfelt invitations:
  • To those seeking new spiritual vision,
  • To believers whose sight has become clouded,
  • To anyone needing a spiritual “home.”
• He prays for a fresh touch, clarity, and for the eyes of listeners’ understanding to be enlightened (Ephesians 1:17-18).

Memorable Moment:

“If you’re here and you’re like Nicodemus... You can’t deny that something has touched you. You’ve been sneaking by night... Welcome home. God is going to sort everything out.”
— Pastor Touré Roberts (66:24)
