ÒThespirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him norknows HimÓ
(John14:17)
What youdo not see you will not receive; what you do not receive you do not become.
When God directed Moses to send men to go and spy on the promise land, it was with apromise that he will give them the land (Num. 13:2).
InNum. 13:17,18 then Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said tothem, ÒGo up this way into the South, and go up to the mountains, and see what the land is like: Ê
Moses knewwhen God says go, it is good. He specifically asked them to see whatit looks like. He also encouraged them by reminding them to be of good courage.
Despitethe fact that the hand of God has seen them( you) through great miracles in andout of(your) Egypt; despite the fact that God has never failed them(you) of Hispromises in their life in your life) the spy failed to see Êtheir Canaan.
It is morethan important but very crucial that you begin to see by faith in allthat God has ordained for a believer that is seeking God.
Thosespies failed to see the positive that God has placed for them butnegative. They saw inability, defeat, hindrances, and failure that was unmovable.It is time for you to begin to see through the glasses of heaven and receiveby the grace of God.Ê ÊÊÊÊ
Num.13:30,then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, ÒLet us go up at once andtake possession, for we are well able to overcome itÓ
Caleb andJoshua saw and sounded it. It came to be and they received theirconfession.
As much asit is important to see, so is it important how you sound it if you arestanding in Him.
~Sound~
ÒAndthe LORD heard the sound of your words, and was angry, and took an oath,saying, surely not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that goodland of which of which I swore to give to your fathersÓ1Det. 1:34.
Can you imaginedisaster caused by a negative sound? After getting out of bondage of over fourhundred years, into a wilderness journey that should not have taken more thaneleven days, took forty years. Passing through the wilderness was exchanged fortheir promised land.
Are youexperiencing stagnation in your journey? Is it true that what is supposed totake a couple of years is taking you more? Wilderness is a passage not ahabitation. You will have to change the sound you often produce. Your sound isdelaying and denying you.
~Seeing~
The bibledescribes faith as the substance of things hoped for, the evidence ofthings not seen Heb.11:1. When you begin to see things that arenot there as being there; when you begin to look at your mountains of hindrancesas being leveled; because you stand in the LORD then miracles will begin toanswer for you. The word of God says the just shall live by faith. Everythingthat you do is by faith and without faith, God is not pleased. If you pay carefulattention to Heb. 11, you will identify that all the giants of faith that werementioned from the time of the Old Testament to the time of New Testamentoperated by faith. Understanding was by faith, offerings, sacrifices, moves,obedience, waiting, subduing enemy, seeing, receiving; all wereobtained in faith by faith.Ê Ê
When youbegin to see, motion comes to life and stagnation will cease. See,move and receive by the sound of your mouth. Your mouth is the channelof your miracle. Begin to live by the word of God and you will begin to receive
by the word of God. The word of God is neither story nor mouthdecoration. The word is life and truth.
Jesussaid it all the spirit of truth whom the world cannot receive because itneither sees Him nor knows Him Jh.14:17 you cannot receive if you do not see.Ability to see Him is built in knowing Him and not just knowing about Him. Itis what you see that you will receive.
When youare able to see and hear in His
words, understandingwill make you stand
out in allareas of life.
