Episode: I See Angels, Part II | Touré Roberts
Date: February 8, 2026
Host: The Potter’s House

Overview:

In "I See Angels, Part II", Pastor Touré Roberts continues his teaching on spiritual clarity, perception, and the reality of angelic and divine activity in the life of a believer. Centered around 1 Samuel 16:13, Touré urges listeners to move beyond belief into the realm of knowing — seeing their lives, challenges, and purpose through God’s eyes, empowered by the Spirit. Using biblical case studies, prophetic exhortation, and practical insights, this sermon unpacks what it means to receive “new eyes” and live with boldness, clarity, and supernatural perspective.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Need for Clarity and Boldness in This Season

• Clarity: Touré stresses how modern life is rife with confusion and manipulation, especially by media and tech companies (04:48).
  • Quote: “We are in a season where we need clarity and boldness unlike ever before…because just because something feels urgent doesn’t mean it’s anointed.” (05:36)
• Boldness and Knowing: True boldness is rooted in clarity, which comes from knowing, not just believing.
  • Quote: “Boldness is the byproduct of true clarity. When I can see right, I can be bold.” (07:16)

2. The Process of Spiritual Sight: From Seeing to Believing to Knowing

• The Evolution of Seeing: Touré recounts Nicodemus’ journey, moving from curiosity to conviction to bold discipleship (09:30).
  • Nicodemus initially approaches Jesus in secrecy but grows into a public supporter after encountering Christ.
  • Quote: “He goes from creeping by night…to standing up for Jesus…to fully associating himself with Jesus, come what may.” (13:50)
• Jesus’ Process: Even Jesus grew in perception and understanding (“He grew in wisdom and in stature”—Luke 2:52).
• Paul’s Prayer (Ephesians 1): Growth in sight is continuous. Paul asks for eyes of the heart to be enlightened (15:30).

3. The Impact of Supernatural Sight: Angelic Resources and Spiritual Warfare

• Elijah and His Servant (2 Kings): The difference between defeat and confidence is revealed sight.
  • Quote: “Some of you are fighting a spiritual battle using earthly weapons and cannot figure out why the battle just continues.” (18:26)
• Reality Shift: When eyes are opened, you see that “God’s camps, his host of angels, were actually surrounding what was surrounding him.” (20:24)

4. How Does God Change What We See? (Practical Application)

• Spiritual, Not Intellectual: The changing of spiritual sight cannot be bought, earned, or intellectualized.
  • Quote: “You can’t pay for it. You can’t intellectualize yourself into this…There’s not seven steps to seeing better. It doesn’t happen that way. We need the Holy Ghost.” (24:48)
• David’s Anointing: The pouring of oil (1 Samuel 16:13) symbolizes the Spirit recalibrating how David saw reality, which equipped him to face Goliath differently.
  • Quote: “What the Spirit does…is recalibrates your sense of reality. There’s a difference because you can feel powerful and not see right.” (26:48)
• Divine Push: “When the Spirit of the Lord came upon David…to push him forward. One of the ways you are pushed is by Him changing your sight.” (24:56)

5. New Testament Fulfillment: The Outpouring of the Spirit

• Acts 2, Day of Pentecost: The Spirit brings a heavenly “echo”, manifesting divine realities and perception (36:00).
  • Quote: “With the sound comes sight, and with the sight comes activation or manifestation.” (39:16)
• Prophecy and Sight: Joel’s prophecy is fulfilled: “Your sons and daughters shall prophesy; your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.” (41:44)
• Perception Problem:
  • Quote: “Your only true problem is perception.” (46:56)
  • Citing Job’s faith during hardship, Touré stresses that how we see is our greatest challenge and key to transformation.

6. Jacob’s Ladder: From Despair to Divine Awareness

• Genesis 28: Jacob’s hardship is transformed by a vision of angels, revealing God’s presence.
  • Quote: “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I did not know it.” (53:16)
  • Our environment and challenges are filled with divine activity, though our perception may lag behind.

7. Living Above Distraction: The Power of Perception

• Unbothered by Nonsense: When you see spiritually, you become “unoffendable” and undistracted by the world’s chaos.
  • Quote: “Don’t you come down from your high place to argue with the devil. Just lift up your voice and declare the One who reigns…He’s still on the throne.” (57:30)
• Jesus as the Ladder: Touré unites Jacob’s vision and Jesus’ promise to Nathanael (John 1), showing that Christ is the access point between heaven and earth (62:09).

8. Disciplines for Spiritual Sight: Expectation & Hunger

• Expectation: Faith is the substance of expectation, rooted in the Word (Hebrews 11:1).
  • Write down what God speaks to move it from spirit to manifestation (66:28).
• Hunger: The drive to pursue and cry out for what’s available; it’s not passive (“I must have it”—Jacob wrestling with God, Blind Bartimaeus crying out despite opposition).
  • Quote: “You have to be hungry for hunger. When you kind of fall into a little bit of apathy…you have to hunger for hunger.” (74:40)

9. From Stones to Pillars: Testimony and Transformation

• God redeems hardship: From the “stone as a pillow” (Jacob) to “pillar of testimony.”
  • Quote: “He’s going to move you from stones as pillows to pillars of testimonies of the goodness of God in your life.” (78:58)

10. Personal Testimony: Seeing Angels

• Touré shares a personal story of divine protection, seeing the literal arm of an angel surrounding his car (80:00).
  • Quote: “He showed me, literally, an angel, a massive angel…Just the forearm of this angelic being…covering the whole of my car.”
