Faith is an ability to see the Invisible!
Good morning readers of our column «Daily word for spiritual strength». I am sure these daily messages feed your spirit and strengthen your soul.
Yesterday we stopped at the fact that faith, which brings us victory in the battle of the last day, has the ability to see, hear, and accept directives from God.
A person of faith is able to see God even while being in difficulties. Because he or she can see and hear God, such a person does not listen to what the problems tell him or her anymore. This kind of person doesn´t see his problems as that big, but he sees and hears the Almighty God!
- If you cannot see God, you will definitely see a pile of problems.
- If you cannot hear God, you will definitely hear the voice of raging problems.
Faith is the ability to see the Invisible.»
Paul says:
«….Therefore we don’t faint, … while we don’t look 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.» (2 Cor. 4:16,18).
In these last days many people feel down and worry about daily needs; love in many of them grows cold, but anger, resentment, hatred, and cruelty grow because illegitimacy, treason, and cheating multiply. But, my dear friend, it´s meaningless to follow the majority, while your faith shall bring you a breakthrough and victory! You will learn how to live without worries because your faith knows that the loving God cares for you; faith knows how to cast all your worries on the Lord.
« … casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.» (1 Peter 5:7).
«In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. The peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.» (Phil. 4: 6-7)
The same faith knows the Lord is our Shepherd, who provides but also leads, strengthens, and protects us.
«Yahweh is my shepherd: I shall lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup runs over. Surely goodness and loving kindness shall follow me all the days of my life,» (Psalm 23)
By virtue of faith you will be able to obtain God´s character and its qualities, like patience, endurance, self-control, joy, peace, love, etc. As long as those qualities dwell and grow within, you will easily beat the forces of illegality and sin.
Many people think that faith is just a method of gaining health, money, and material blessings, but that´s not true.
All God´s blessings are received the same way, namely, by faith. Even when you are ill, you realise God loves you; that´s why He paid the price for your healing in full. Having this revelation and understanding, you see yourself healed; that´s why you come to God in the Name of Jesus completely certain He will make you well. This is the way you receive healing. You believe, you pray with thankfulness and finally you receive it.
Holiness is the same kind of blessing as healing and salvation. Purity of heart is a gift God gives easily to everybody who seeks Him. You have to see the necessity of having such a gift and accept it by faith. To sum up, these are the blessings you can accept by faith:
- Salvation for your soul and salvation for the members of your family;
- Healing from any kind of decease;
- Living pure and holy life in Christ;
- Being filled with the Holy Spirit;
- Prosperity and success, etc.
Therefore, I plead with you, dedicate your time to building up your faith, so all kinds of depression and frustration can disappear from your life forever.
Be blessed in the Name of the Lord!
Pastor Rufus.
