Bible Reading: 2 Chronicle 33. 1 Timothy 4:9-16
“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear” – Hebrews 11:3 (KJV).
Since the invisible world framed the visible world, it will be foolishness to doubt the reality of the invisible world. There could be no visible world without the invisible world. A fool says in his heart that there is no God. The conclusion of the fool is based on the limitations of the senses. Anyone operating only on the five senses without access to the spirit world is so limited and so cannot fulfill destiny.
Prayer, worship and all Christian activities make no sense without spiritual realities. We do not see God yet we believe in true fellowship because our faith is the evidence of the unseen world and the substance of things hoped for. “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” – 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV).
Jesus said to Martha, did I not tell you that if you will believe, you will see the glory of God? (John 11:40). We don’t have to see to believe but we believe to see. “Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them” -Mark 11:24 (KJV). This is the believer’s walk of faith based on the reality of the unseen world. Things first exist in the spirit world before they manifest in the natural world. Elisha said to his servant, fear not for they that are with us are more than they that are with them (2 Kings 6:16). These encouraging words became necessary because his servant was frightened by the soldiers that have besieged the house in the night, his inability to see the invisible army of God created fear and panic. Elisha prayed and the eyes of the servant were opened to see the invisible forces of heaven with them.
PRAYER: Oh Lord, open my eyes to see the reality of the invisible world.
