Living Beyond What You See

Study The Word

2 Corinthians 4:18 KJV
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

If you want to live a truly triumphant Christian life, you must shift your focus from the seen to the unseen! This is the life of faith that every child of God is born into. The Word of God clearly states that the things we see are temporal – they are subject to change, fleeting, and temporary. But the things which are not seen, which are the things of the Word of God, these are eternal!

These “unseen” things? Primarily refer to what the Word of God says about us in Christ Jesus; and these are eternal, the very eternal spiritual substances that framed the very worlds we inhabit, live in and see today. Through faith, we understand that everything we now perceive physically was created by something that did not appear – that is by the powerful, spoken Word of God!

So, does this very same Word of God say you are healed? Then keep saying that you are healed, no matter what is going on in your body.  Does the Word of God say that you are rich? Does the Word say that you are excellent? Does the Word say you are gifted? Or blessed?  Then keep saying that you are rich, gifted and blessed, no matter what’s going on in your bank account. Why? Because the Word of God is more real and more powerful than your current experience.  Don’t stop speaking and believing  what the Word of God says about you, because “through faith we understand that the world’s were framed by the Word of God, such that things which are seen were not made by things which do appear”. (Hebrews 11:3)

What is faith? In our teaching series “The  Faith Of The Word Of God” we got to define faith according to what the Word of God says it is.  Faith is the present continuous state of spoken persuasion.  Which is living everyday according to the revealed Word spoken, and not what you see or are experiencing.  This is the life of a child of God.  The life modelled to us by the father of faith Abraham.  What kind of life are you living? Is it a life of faith? Or is it an ordinary life led by the status quo and circumstances around you?

Many of God’s children struggle because they are continually looking at their problems, at their circumstances, at what their physical senses tell them. But the Bible admonishes us to not look at the seen things. This is a deliberate choice, our very act and display of faith! This is where we live, where we’ve been called to live our lives.

When you grasp the concept of “faith as substance and evidence of things not seen,” you understand that the unseen Word of God is more real and more powerful than any temporary, seen circumstance. Your faith gives substance to that unseen Word, this will inturn bring it into manifestation in your life.

This is the pathway to a consistent life of victory. Don’t be swayed by what you see in the natural realm. Choose to fix your eyes on the eternal, unseen realities of God’s Word and His promises. As you do, you will empower your faith to bring those unseen realities into your present experience, transforming every challenge into a testimony of triumph!

Pray The Word

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the revelation that the unseen things are eternal and more powerful than the seen. I pray for the grace to constantly fix my eyes on Your eternal Word, rather than on temporal circumstances. Help me to walk by faith, not by sight, giving substance to Your unseen realities in my life, in Jesus’ name, amen.

Speak The Word

I live in the unseen reality of God’s Word! I am not moved by what my physical eyes perceive, for I know that the unseen is eternal and governs the seen. The Word of God is in my heart and in my mouth always and my faith gives substance and evidence to God’s Word in my life, bringing it into manifestation. I walk in triumph, always looking unto Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith!
