TRUSTING GOD, NO MATTER WHAT YOU SEE OR FEEL

February 17

eloved, suppose that you were blind and could not see the light of day. Some of you know what I am talking about. If you were blind, and someone that you love, and trust told you that the sunset was beautiful today, would you believe and accept that as fact? Of course, you would! It is really based on your trust of that person. Some of my children are still having a hard time believing that I am at work in the world today. They say, "where are you God, I can't feel you or touch you or hear your voice!" Child, I speak through my Holy Spirit and precious promises in the Bible. If you have offered yourself to the Father and confessed your sins through Jesus’ name, you are eligible to hear from heaven. It does not have to do with how you can intellectually figure it all out, but rather how by faith in the fact that your God cannot lie to you and stands behind His promises to fulfill them to you. Many of my children are making the mistake of beginning with their Father at the wrong place. In other words, many say, "Since I cannot reason it out or "feel" it then it must not be so." Now, go ahead and accept as a fact that your Father is a Spirit and cannot be reached or understood by simple natural, logical means. He must be approached and accepted purely based on His promises to you. My word says, "I am with you always . . ." (Matthew 28:20) Can you accept the fact that I am closer to you always than your very breath? If you have difficulty with that pray this: "Father, in the name of Jesus I will believe your promises to me more strongly than my senses of touch, hearing and seeing." You see child, all these senses will pass away some day. They are only there temporarily to help you navigate your course through this earthly existence. "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will remain forever." (Matthew 24:35 NKJV) Sometimes you need to reaffirm your belief in the God of Heaven that you cannot see. If you continue to say, "seeing is believing," you will lock yourself into a world of existence where only the heathen and unsaved live. Do you want to do this? I don't think so! You must learn to live "by faith" in the Son of God and in the word of promise given to you. If you cannot see, as one who is naturally blind, then ask the Father to "open the eyes of my heart," (Ephesians 1:18) in Jesus’ name! Your Father will create for eyes for you to see and ears to hear which are keenly in tune to the Holy Spirit. These words that your Father speaks to you are true and will come to pass for you. You must understand that if you have lived all your intellectual life so far as one who must have everything make sense to you, then, you must switch over to allowing yourself to believe my words and promises to you as a spiritual revelation reserved for the redeemed of heart. By the way child, the sunset really is beautiful this evening. This is especially true in the eyes of your Father who watches it all over the world every day. The birds are real, the sky is blue, and heaven is a real place with angels, saints and loved ones that you once knew when they were alive on the earth. They will all live forever! You are greatly loved and cherished by your Father!

Prayer

Father in Heaven, I know that you love me, and I ask you to have patience with my poor concepts of you. I trust myself to you completely, "Help Thou my unbelief." (Mark 9:24b) I will accept you as a Spirit and seek you as such in the name of Jesus, amen!
