Walk by Faith not by sight: “So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him.” 2 Corinthians 5:6-9(ESV)
Blessed life is to believe God before we actually see good things, right things in your imagination in all circumstances. It is the Lord who is saying that we should believe before we actually see the good results as if they were there for us. Many believe bad things might happen to them before they actually see and fear. This is one kind of belief but on the negative side. All we got to do is change our imagination of seeing things before it actually happens in the positive side that is all!
For having imagination of good things to happen we should be putting in our hearts and minds good things. So whatever you put in your heart will spring up and grow fast. So we must feed our heart with the Word of God, the promises of God and the inheritance we have in obtaining our Salvation. Then the right thoughts spring up and grow like good seeds which will produce good fruits. As Jesus Christ our Lord explains of the heart of a man as fertile land in the Parable of the Sower.
Parable of the Sower: Matthew 13:1-23(ESV) What are the things hindering our hearts from producing the fruits? Jesus was explaining the 4 kinds of Heart –
- Heart like a road – Not understanding the word – Devil takes away
- Heart like rocky ground – Accept the word with joy – Fall when tribulation or persecution arise
- Heart of thorns – Hear the word – Cares of this world & deceitfulness of the riches choke
- Good Heart – Hear and understand the word – bears fruits, yields 100, 60 & 30 fold.
So if you fill your heart with the Word of God, understand and change your thoughts accordingly and not allow other worldly things pollute it, then your Spiritual eyes will be opened. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2(ESV)
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a good testimony. By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” Hebrews 11:1-3(NKJV) Everything we see physically came from invisible Spiritual World so Spiritual world where God dwells is more real than this physical world we see!
Our inheritance in Christ Jesus: So God says we have it, then we have it! God says we have everything in Jesus, so be it! Our sins are put on Jesus’ body on the Cross and His righteousness was given to us. By the stripes Jesus took, where our diseases and infirmities put on Him and we were given health. Jesus became poor, so through His poverty we became rich. Angels minister to those who are saved because we were placed above angels in Jesus and are seated in heavenly place with Him! Hallelujah!
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love, having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He made us accepted in the Beloved.” Ephesians 1:3-6(NKJV) The whole chapter clearly explains about our inheritance in Christ Jesus so believe and see to possess!
