Seeing IS NOT believing !!
Yes! You heard the title right, seeing is NOT believing!
Because the WAY, a person "percieves things" determines
whether they move forward, or move backward in the "eyes
of God".
People whom have submitted to the will and the word of the
Lord, "see" things thru, THE "EYES OF THE WORD" for they
know that it is the things that they do not see, (God)
that controls the things that we can see.
We have learned to walk by faith, instead of sight, for the
things we see, and how we percieve them, are dictated by
what we know is the truth. (the word of God) When we "see"
an impossible situation, we "see" it as an oportunity to
"move that mountain" thru faith.
We do this by knowing that when we give it to the Lord,
He will give us the words to speak (calling the things
that be, as though they are not) to overcome and change
the situation! Everytime, for the word of God, and faith
faileth NOT!
When a person puts on "the mind of Christ" they believe
and act on those beliefs, that the word of God, is the
ONLY, absolute truth on earth! We will not be moved from
it, for the Lord hath long ago, proved to us that His
word works, thru "signs" and wonders that follow every
believer.
So from this we learn, that "perceptions" are what
dertimines where our thinking is comming from!
When we perceive things Gods way, from having studied His
way and His word, then we act on the things we know He
has said, because we know it is the truth, NO MATTER,
HOW THINGS "LOOK" to "us".
When we perceive things the worlds way (Satans) then we
look at things in the way they look to the "natural" eye.
These cannot know the things of the spirit, so what they
"see" are confined to the things that we think ONLY WE
HAVE CONTROL OF! God is not "in" our picture of
understanding, nor will He ever be, untill we come to Him
and confess His holy name!
What a lonely and helpless way to think, that only we
can do what is best for us, when the truth is, only HE
knows and will show us what/how to do that which is truly
best for us, if we will just turn to Him, and trust
HIS WORDS.
