Walking by Faith, Not by Sight

Walking by Faith, Not by Sight


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


Faith is not based on physical sight or outward reality, but on a spiritual substance. It is the inner assurance God gives us to walk with Him, do His will, and serve Him. While the natural man lives by physical senses, the believer is called to walk by the Spirit.


God is Spirit and works from the spiritual realm, revealing His will to us through His Word and by impressions in our spirit. Faith is the spiritual reality by which we perceive and follow Him personally. It is not based on guessing or assumptions, but on the light of God’s truth within our hearts.


We cannot walk with God without His light. Just as a blind man cannot walk without sight, we cannot follow Him without spiritual understanding. That is why we must depend on the Holy Spirit through prayer and daily study of the Scriptures, so He can teach us His ways.


The measure of God’s truth in our hearts determines how deeply we walk with Him. As our understanding grows, our faith strengthens, and we can stand firmly, serve Him faithfully, and experience greater manifestations of His power.


If we desire to grow closer to God and do more for Him, we must continually grow in the knowledge of His truth—and as we do, our lives will be transformed.

Power of Persistence

Power of Persistence  And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed over, he, and the three hundred men that were with him, faint, yet pursuing them. Judges 8:4 Persistence is essential for pursuing a significant purpose and achieving a vision that seems beyond our strength. Despite their exhaustion, Gideon and his soldiers continued their pursuit of their enemies, demonstrating the power of a clear and compelling goal to inspire perseverance in fulfilling a dream. Persistence allows us to remain consistent and steadfast in our pursuits. Without a great vision, we may struggle to rise from complacency and actively seek God with the dedication needed for constant prayer, which builds a strong spirit, deepens our faith, enhances our understanding of the Word of God, and helps us grow in alignment with our vision.  God does not use casual seekers for the advancement of His kingdom; He relies on those who are consistent and committed. Persistence in prayer and faith is key to receiving an...

You are worthy O Lord..

You are worthy O Lord.. The twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying, "You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory, honour, and power; for You have created all things, and for Your pleasure, they are and were created." — Revelation 4:10-11 Even with the privilege of sitting around God's throne, these elders demonstrate a deep sense of humility before Him. When the living creatures give glory, honour, and thanks to God, the elders do not remain seated, proud of their crowns. Instead, they rise from their seats and fall down before God. In worship, they lay their crowns at His feet, proclaiming that He alone is worthy of glory, honour, and power. The crowned elders understand that there is only one King, and that King is God, deserving of all glory despite the honour they have been given. Like these elders, we must not allow the privileges, gifts, bles...

The Word became Answer

Image
The Word became Answer RSV, John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth; we have beheld his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father." The Word, or Logos, became human as God's response to our need for salvation, addressing all our spiritual needs and the limitations we face as humans. The written word, the scriptures, is also provided by God to meet our needs. However, many struggle to find answers to their challenges in the scriptures due to their lack of understanding of them. But those who genuinely seek truth from the scriptures and are willing to obey God's guidance will find that the scriptures are revealed to them, providing a word from God. Casual reading of the scriptures will not yield meaningful benefits. Our comprehension of the scriptures plays a significant role in how we apply them and the guidance we receive. Therefore, we must not only read the scriptures but also study them carefully to uncove...
