by physical appearances, seeing through our physical eyes
by asking to see the something or someone through God’s Eyes, through the spiritual eyes of our innermost heart transformed by the Holy Spirit and fire of God
The first is changeable, temporary, subject to levels of consciousness, states of mind, frames of reference, ideology, belief systems, world mindsets, thoughts, emotions, or past experiences,
but the latter is Truth you can stand on–Trust completely–bank on, because it is eternally unchangeable, immovable Truth; a sure and steadfast anchor for your soul to rest in.
Ask God to show you the situation or person through Christ’s Eyes and stand firm in his Truth and Life: the only Way to go!
“Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert” Isaiah 43:18-19
“Then he showed me the river of water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God” Revelation 22:1
“Know the Gift of God. Ask Jesus and he will give you Living Water; drink and never thirst; the water Christ gives you becomes in you a spring of water welling up as a fountain of life in you” John 4:10-14 paraphrase
“If any one thirst, COME TO ME and drink…believe and out of your heart shall flow rivers of living water…the glorified Spirit of God” John 7:37-39
“The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And those who hear say, ‘Come.’ And let him who is thirsty come, let him who desires TAKE the water of life without price.” Rev 22:17
I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of God and his Glory, having the eyes of your heart enlightened that you may KNOW the Kingdom, Power and Glory of God our Abba Father and the manifest presence, the glory, of Christ revealed to you and in you and through you to the Glory of God now and forever. Amen.
“I am the fire around you and the glory within you” ~ascended, glorified Christ Jesus
Your Name above all names is Victory!
“Fear not, and be not dismayed at this great multitude; for the battle is not yours but God’s…You will not need to fight this battle; take your position, stand still, and SEE THE VICTORY of the LORD on your behalf…Fear not, and be not dismayed…the LORD will be with you” 2 Chronicles 20:15-17
“Believe in the LORD your God, and you will be established; believe our Lord Jesus the Christ and you will succeed [new covenant]…Sing to the LORD and praise him in holy array [rejoice, again rejoice: the enemy falls; the battle is over and you win]” 2 Chronicles 20:20-21
“Sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things!” Psalm 98:1
“Honor and majesty are before him; strength and joy are in his place…ascribe to the LORD glory and strength…Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice” 1 Chronicles 16:27-28, 31
“You shall not build me a house to dwell in. For I have…gone from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling. In all places where I move” 1 Chronicles 17:5-6
“Abide in Christ and he in you”
Live, move and have your being in Christ and Christ in you! His fullness of Joy is your strength; he endured the Cross for the Joy he gives to you to overcome all obstacles!
“Return with Joy from battles, for the LORD makes you rejoice OVER your enemies…The realm is quiet, for our God and Father gives us REST round about” 2 Chronicles 20:27, 30
Only strive to enter His Rest where all difficulties, problems, challenges, issues or circumstances dissolve in the Light of His Glory!
Praise (speak the Truth of God not the temporary physical appearances of circumstances) until you enter Worship (union with God; you disappear and only Christ in you remains in Spirit and Truth) and rest in the Glory, the Presence of the Living God who comes to live, move and have His Being in your being now and is to come. Amen. Hallelujah!
“For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, ‘In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and trust shall be your strength” Isaiah 30:15
“We know it is the last hour…But you have been anointed by the Holy One, and you all know…the anointing which you received from him abides in you…abide in him” 1 John 2:18-27
“BUT GOD” changes everything, removing everything that comes before it
“For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered or come into mind. But be glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for behold I create a rejoicing and her people a joy” Isaiah 65:17
“The former things have passed away…Behold, I make all things new” Revelation 21:4-5
“Therefore, if any one is IN Christ, he is a new creation; the old has PASSED AWAY, behold, the NEW HAS COME” 2 Corinthians 5:17
“Remember not the former things nor consider the things of old. Behold, I am doing a new thing; NOW it springs forth, do you not perceive it?” Isaiah 43:18-19
Change your perception, turn from seeing as the world sees; ask to SEE with the eyes of Christ. Lift your eyes and see.
Abba Father, open the eyes, ears and spiritual perception of our heart-minds to see it is not yet four months (John 4:35) but NOW for those with eyes to see and ears to hear.
Victory is now for those who love God and are called according to his purpose. We are MORE than conquerors through Christ who loves us.
Until you are born anew from Above of water AND Spirit, you are under the kingdoms of the world and the deceiver destroyer has a part in you; hence a mixture of light and darkness.
“This is the message we heard from Jesus and proclaim to you, that God is light and in him there is no darkness at all” 1 John 1:5
Jesus says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born anew he cannot see the kingdom of God…unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit” John 3:3-8
“I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God” 1 Cor 15:50
But those born of the Spirit, now and is to come, carry the Kingdom; those who carry Christ in their body temple are the Church and meet together to glorify God in their bodies; worshiping in Spirit and Truth.
“God is Spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth” John 4:24
Through the finished work of the Cross of Christ, the Father sends the Holy Spirit to bring the Kingdom of God upon you, and those who receive, welcome, and yield to the Holy Spirit have the Kingdom of God come within them so God’s Will can be done in you on earth as it is in heaven. Salvation is a free gift we either cooperate with or reject; the difference between day and night.
Jesus says, “I am the Light of the world” and “You are the light of the world”
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a bushel, but on a stand, that those who enter may see the light” Luke 11:33
“The kingdom of God is not coming with signs to be observed; nor will they say, ‘Lo, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you, within you” Luke 17:21
“So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this love is perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world” 1 John 4:16-17
“The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever.” Revelation 11:15
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen” Revelation 7:12
God does not judge by physical appearances but the intention of the heart. The Word of God reveals the thoughts and intentions of the heart. Spiritual things are not understandable by those who do not have the Spirit of God. Those who are born anew from Above of water and Spirit do not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God; not imparted by words of human wisdom, but taught by the Spirit to understand the higher thoughts and ways of God. Those who possess the Spirit have Spiritual Truth interpreted to them. We stand on the Truth and cannot be moved.
“Therefore, lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet…be healed… INHERIT THE BLESSING…You have come…to the assembly of the first-born and to a judge who is God of all, and to the spirits of just humans made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a NEW COVENANT, and to the Blood of the Lamb that speaks a better Word. See that you do not refuse him who is speaking…NOW he has promised, ‘Yet once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’ This phrase, ‘Yet once more,’ indicates the removal of what is shaken, as of what has been made, in order that what CANNOT BE SHAKEN may remain. Therefore, let us be grateful for receiving a kingdom that CANNOT BE SHAKEN, and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship, with reverence and awe; for our God is a consuming fire” Hebrews 12:12-29
Holy Spirit and fire of God reveal the Truth of Christ from which we stand firm.
“Let God be true though every man be false” Romans 3:4
Crucified, buried, resurrected, ascended, glorified Jesus is the Truth. Truth is a person. Know the Truth and the Truth will set you free from the lies and deception of the evil one.
“Father forgive them for they know not what they do” ~Jesus
The Lion of Judah roars over your situation and nothing but the Truth of Christ can stand.
“Everything is possible for one who believes” Mark 9:23
I rely on the power of God’s presence upon, with, and in me now and forever and ever. Amen.
In Christ, impossible is I’m Possible.
It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me and through me, making The Way, revealing The Truth, and continually regenerating The Life of God.
In Christ we stand, Christ in us is the assurance and substance of glory. Arise; shine!
Love, Peace and Joy are fruit of the Holy Spirit living with and in us, sent by our Abba Father through the finished work of the Cross, eternal and everlasting; so much more than fleeting emotions derived from experiences in the world.
The tide ebbs and flows, but the River of Water of Life is continuous and glorious, continually flowing through the Door of Christ Jesus into those who believe and receive.
