Recognizing the spiritual realities around you

September 16, 2011

So the other disciples told (Thomas), “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

John 20:25

Senses are funny things if you really think about it. You and I spend our whole lives seeing, hearing, tasting, touching, and smelling the world around us. And the combined information we gather from those senses gives us our experience of the world. When it comes down to it, every sense we have is just a way to gather information.

For example, a rose smells the way it does because the chemicals it releases interact with receptor cells which in turn send the information we call “smell” to our brain. A rainbow looks the way it does because its light waves are received through the lens of the eye and are projected onto the retina, which sends signals through the optic nerve and tells our brain what we’re seeing.

Now, the same is true in a much greater sense when it comes to spiritual realities. There are spiritual realities beyond smell and beyond sight that can only be comprehended by faith. And God has given every one of us an incredible capacity and that capacity is the ability to believe things unobservable by any of the five physical senses.

The average person, like Thomas in today’s passage, lives by the idea that seeing is believing. But faith takes you to a higher level which says, “believing is seeing.” So when it comes to spiritual realities, remember that in order to see, you must first truly believe!

FAITH IS THE SENSE YOU MUST HAVE TO SEE SPIRITUAL REALITIES. SO BELIEVE IN CHRIST WITH YOUR HEART AND YOU’LL SEE MORE THAN YOU EVER COULD WITH YOUR PHYSICAL EYES.

Find real freedom from the worries of life!

 

Dear Friend,

If you’re like many people today, you probably spend so much time and energy just trying to keep up that you rarely get a chance to simply unplug. And when the stresses and worries of life overwhelm you, they drain the joy God wants you to have.

That’s why I want to send you my brand new 5-message CD series called Sheltered. In it, I’ll take you to some of the most beloved Psalms to show you how God shelters and protects you no matter what you may be experiencing in life.

In addition to Sheltered, I also want to help you jump-start your prayer life by sending you my prayer journal called 30 Days to Powerful Prayer.

This special ministry combination pack is my gift to thank you for your online gift to PowerPoint today. I truly hope it blesses you as you discover the shelter you can have from life’s worries and cares.

Thank you for your gift. You are truly a blessing!

Jack Graham
