The Unseen World of Faith

"Now faith is the assurance of what we hope for and the certainty of what we do not see.?This is why the ancients were commended." Hebrews 11:1

None of us lives in a spiritual vacuum. What we call agnosticism (the view that the existence of God, of the divine or the supernatural, is unknown) is merely unbelief. The lack of faith has been baptized over the years into many fancy words. In reality, there are only 2 sides, God's kingdom & Satan's kingdom.

Every human being is influenced by the spiritual world.

Just because we cannot see the wind, doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We can feel it & see its effect on windmills & kites. We can enjoy it as a breeze on sunny days. We can see its havoc during storms. Denying its presence doesn't make it non-existent.

God made nature to help us understand Him. This is because He is beyond our human comprehension. Our minds cannot contain God's magnificence. Jesus used parables to explain the Kingdom of God.

By faith, we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible. Hebrews 11:2

The spirit world is more real & permanent because the physical was created out of the physical. Humans are spirit beings living in a physical body. This is why death is not an end to itself. We live in eternity & the time we have on earth is simply a phase of time in forever. Once we die, our bodies are buried & they decay (believer & atheist alike).

How then do we live?

In order to have an advantage over the physical world, we must be strengthened in Spirit.

So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. 2 Corinthians 4:18

The obedient Christian in action is diligent in 4 spiritual disciplines; Reading the Word, Prayer & Fasting, Fellowship with fellow believers & Witnessing to the lost. This is how we will stay strengthened both in the spiritual & physical world. My prayer for all of us today is Ephesians 3:16-19;

I ask that out of the riches of His glory Jesus may strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. Then you, being rooted and grounded in love, will have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Amen
