WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

WE WALK BY FAITH AND NOT BY SIGHT

 

2 Corinthians    5:7     ⁷ (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

When we walk by what we see, we walk in the natural realm of using our natural senses.

In other words, using the natural human ways and being mislead by what is right and what is wrong.

Most people now days, if their not believers of Christ, appear to walk by, if everyone is doing it, it must be ok.

Not so, just because people do foolish things, it doesn’t mean it is ok for us to repeat them.

When God created you, he created you for a purpose, His purpose for you; you will never accomplish that purpose as long as you walk in your natural way of thinking.

To be as God wants us to be, blessed and prosperous. We must first seek God and his righteousness

You do that by first renewing your mind by the Word of God and his righteousness. Then you must learn to live by faith not by what you see, feel or hear as the world does.

Once you have made Jesus the Lord of your life by accepting what he accomplished at the cross, the Holy Spirit will come and live in you and guide your daily walk.

That is called walking in the spirit. God is seeing to the safety of each of your steps.

You are to walk as if Jesus is walking by your side day and night. By the way, he is doing just that.

Hebrews 13:5   Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye

have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

God will never leave us nor forsake us; God will never abandon us or leave us helpless.

God is all love and loves us so much that while we were still sinners He sent Jesus to redeem us, or save us, so we can spend eternity with Him.

Psalms 94:14 says, for the Lord will not cast off his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

Once you accept his son Jesus Christ, you have been made a new spirit, The Holy Spirit seals that spirit in you and you have been made an heir to the family of God.

This is part of walking by faith and not by sight.

Hebrews 11:6   ⁶ But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him

You must first believe God is, and then believe God can and Believe God will.

It is easy to believe God is; it’s easy to believe God can, but it is hard for people to believe that God will.

People have the habit of feeling unworthy. Its not about you, it’s about the Holy Spirit within you. That makes you worthy.

So if it is impossible to please God without faith, we are not pleasing God when we refuse to believe him at His word. That He is, He can, and He will do what his word says he will do.

Isaiah 55:11   ¹¹ So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

Everywhere God sends his word, things manifest. Just as His word says it will.

Gods word is speaking to you and through you right now, it is saying “you can do all things through Christ Jesus”  who gives you the strength to accomplish everything. Jesus made it available to you at the finished work at the cross.

Trust God, have faith in God, He is, He can, and He already has done everything you meet your needs and more.
