Unseen Evidence
Hebrews 11:1-2 Now faith is the substance
of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. (2) For by it the
elders obtained a good report. (KJV)
Carnal people continue to look to carnal
things to find peace and contentment. Given the fact that the Bible is
quite specific to point out that the eyes of man are never satisfied, then
it would be safe to say that the evidence of God’s existence is located in
an unseen realm, well at least unseen to man.
1 Corinthians 2:9-10 But as it is
written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the
heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. (10)
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth
all things, yea, the deep things of God. (KJV)
You know, when you began your walk with
the Lord, when you were searching for truth and peace, you didn’t find it
in the outward realm did you? So with that in mind, why do so many keep
looking to the outward realm, even those that have been enlightened to the
new unending realm that our Lord is pointing His people to? Your faith,
your walk with the Lord, your only real substance will be found in the
Spirit, not the flesh. The more you exercise your Spiritual senses and
learn to ignore the outward realm, the more effective you will be in your
walk with the Lord.
John 14:17-19 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth
him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. (18) I
will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (19) Yet a little
while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye
shall live also. (KJV)
Many people, and yes I will include many
of God’s people, look for comfort; however, they keep getting pointed to
the outward instead of the inward. This outward vision and way of seeing
things should be perishing, so that you can learn to walk a new way
according to your new Spiritual senses, the only real comfort you will ever
find. Isn’t it comforting to know that we have access to this comfort; how
about the fact that it is actually dwelling right inside of you, right now,
this moment. So when a need arises is that the first place you seek to find
your answer, or are you still looking elsewhere?
Hebrews 5:11-14 Of whom we have many
things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. (12) For
when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you
again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become
such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. (13) For every one that
useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. (14)
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil. (KJV)
It is kind of interesting how the writer
of Hebrews was able to see that the people were dull of hearing. It takes
exercise and discipline if one desires to get healthy and strong in the
physical, this same premise holds true spiritually. Do you know the
difference between the milk of the Word and strong meat? Only if you have
exercised your Spiritual senses and are looking more to the unseen realm
than the outward one will you know.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may
prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. (KJV)
The word ‘prove’ means to discern, which
means to see or recognize clearly. A lot of people that claim they are
Christians are still in the infant stage of their walk, even though they
have spent many years in so called Christian organizations. Do you know
where the real meat of the Word is and how to access it daily? Let me give
you a hint; you won’t find it by your outward vision, but rather you will
have to look to the unseen One, if you truly desire to grow and mature in
Christ.
