Blind Faith


 


BLIND FAITH?

 

Is there really such a thing?

 

 

Isn’t faith THE SUBSTANCE of whatever one  is “hoping for”?

 

Isn’t it THE EVIDENCE of things “not seen”?

(Heb 11:1)

 

 

“For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Cor 5:7)

 

 

So… is faith “not seeing?...or blind?

 

 

If faith is THE SUBSTANCE… then I KNOW that whatever I would normally be hoping for is already there.  

I am not waiting for a manifestation of “IT”… 

I already have “IT”.

 

I don’t need any other proof or EVIDENCE… I already know what Christ believes about “it” and am assured without a doubt that I have “IT”!

 

I am not waiting until I see “IT”, feel “IT”, taste “IT”… nor observe “IT”in any other way. 

 

I am not believing I have “IT” only AFTER the EVIDENCE of the symptom is NOT SEEN. 

 

I am not awaiting a “good report” from doctors, friends, or any other third party… 

 

 

THE VOICE that shakes both Heaven and Earth has spoken, “IT IS FINISHED!”

…and I believe HIS REPORT.

 

 

Christ, speaking to the religious folk said, 

“The kingdom of God cometh not with OBSERVATION:  

Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! 

for, behold, 

the kingdom of God is WITHIN YOU.”  (Lk 17:20-21)

 

 

 FAITH is NEVER used as a verb. 

 

 

FAITH IS A NOUN. 

 

 

… a person, place or thing. 

 

 

So… not only is FAITH the substance…

And evidence. 

It is a PLACE

from which I now SEE all of life

 

 

FAITH is how we SEE everything while SEATED IN CHRIST at the right hand of the Father in Heavenly places

 

 

Faith is the PERSPECTIVE of Christ… and I am now SEEING life from what He has already done and HIS POINT OF VIEW

 

 

So… faith is NOT BLIND. 

 

 

FAITH IS  SEEING FROM A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE…

 

             …a particular VANTAGE POINT. 

  

                        …a CERTAIN PLACE

                  

                                   …IN CHRIST. 

 

 

1Cor2:16 says that “WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.”

 

 

So… “LET this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus” (Phil2:5)

 

 

…allow yourself to think like Christ..  

 

TO SEE HOW HE SEES… 

 

to know how it TRULY IS… 

 

from THE VANTAGE POINT of a Kingdom 

 

WHERE HE RULES!.

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
