What is the significance of praying that the eyes and ears of people's hearts be opened to God?

Holy Lord Jesus, increase my understanding of praying that the eyes and ears of people’s hearts be opened to you. I believe there is a greater depth here than I understand thus far, especially concerning end time events.

Ben, you have just touched the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. There is far more going on in the heavenly realm than you realize. Though the prayer seems simple, it’s impact is not. It releases complex activities in the heavenly realms. These complex activities hasten My return, for certain events have to occur before I come back. One of the greatest is for My people (Israel) to recognize Me as their Messiah. When you pray that their eyes and ears be opened to Me, I am making that possible.  The more people who offer up the same prayer will help speed up the whole process. I do want to return, but certain things have to happen. When they are fulfilled, then I will return. (My emphasis)
