2 Corinthians 4:18
18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

So, the human mind believes in things which are seen & not what is unseen.
But there things which are both seen & unseen,
but just because people see something, it doesn't mean, these things should be believed,
& just because people see something, it also doesn't mean that these things are fake,

Similarly there are unseen things, but just because they are unseen,
it also doesn't mean that these things are fake,
& just because there are unseen things, it also doesn't mean that these things are true,
whether these things are seen or unseen,
what matters  is the source behind them?

Because God is sometimes behind both what is seen & unseen
& sometimes there are just visible illusions crafted by Satan.
Satan knows that the human mind is fickle, weak, undecided, unbelieving, wanting a logical proof for everything
& incapable of seeing beyond a point.

The human mind is limited, even the most intelligent minds cannot think beyond a point, but God's wisdom & knowledge cannot be compared.
Romans 11:34-36
The Voice
34 Who can fathom the mind of the Lord?
    Or who can claim to be His advisor?


And that is why Satan purposely targets the weakest parts of the human mind, knowing that he will be able to convince human beings.
He uses things which are convincing, logical & scientific,
& the fickle human being which is incapable of seeing the truth begins to believe in the visible illusions.

Whereas God does not use complex theories to impress people,
God doesn't use illusions to convince people,
rather God is light,
& its this light which is the truth & this truth sets His people free from the baseless illusions of Satan.
Take two examples of fire being brought from Heaven,

On one hand God's Prophet Elijah brought down fire from Heaven & on the other hand the False teacher will pretend to bring fire from the sky which will be a trick to deceive God's people.

1 Kings 18
Elijah on Mount Carmel
36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, ..."

38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!"

Revelation 13:13-14
13 And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. 14 Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.

When Elijah brough down fire from Heaven, it was visible,
&  when False Teacher will bring fire from the sky it will also be visible,
but  the people of God will recognize the fruit of these happenings,
one which comes from God & one which will come from Satan.
And the people of God will recognize the voice of the Shepherd
John 10:27-28
27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

That is why know the source of everything that is seen & unseen.
What comes from God, is not deceptive,
it will not be chaotic or confusing,
whereas what comes from Satan will be made to trick people, keep them in eternal fear, confusion, chaos & illusions.

Sometimes what is seen is sent by God, like miracles.
These miracles are sent by God, to show the supreme authority of God over everything, to show kindness & compassion & His love,
to send hope, for His purposes,
& to fill people with faith.
Sometimes the unbelieving people believe God only when they see miraculous happenings themselves.
Sometimes God sends miracles as blessings.

Joshua 10
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel:

"Sun, stand still over Gibeon,
    and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon."
13 So the sun stood still,
    and the moon stopped,
    till the nation avenged itself on its enemies,

as it is written in the Book of Jashar.

The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being. Surely the Lord was fighting for Israel!

15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal.

Then there are the unseen things which are eternal & not temporary or illusions.
Like the peace of God, the inner strength & resilience given to His people,
These cannot be seen & yet are true,
Defying all scientific & logical explanations.
John 1:18 (ESV): "No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known."
(No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known).
So people have not seen God,
but just because He is unseen,
will people believe that there is no existence of God?
No., God's people believe in the unseen God because of His Word,
through Our loving Saviour Christ, & the Saints & Prophets.

That why whether people see or do not see,
believe in the Source & then whatever is seen or unseen will
become clear because it will be from God.
A God who is true, the only living God & a God in Him there is truth, love & light,
Amen.

18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

Amen.

Without parables — without metaphors carrying spiritual meaning — Christ spoke not. The unseen eternal things were revealed through earthly pictures and visible demonstrations.

2 Corinthians 4:18"So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal."

Even the word "metaphor" points to this principle: a carrying over from one thing to another, comparing and mixing earthly pictures with spiritual truth.

From the Greek and Latin roots comes the idea of "transfer" — using earthly words to reveal spiritual understanding. A sign language of faith.

Every word in Scripture carries picture-language.

Adam — red earth.
Eve — mother of the living.
Cain — acquired possession, as if the firstborn was thought to be the promised Christ by earthly sight.
Abel — vanity, vapor, emptiness, revealing the weakness of dying mankind.

Then God replaced the first with another second-born seed. Seth leading to Enos — "man" — showing the pattern of starting again, the foundation of "ye must be born again."

It was then that born again men began to call upon the name of the one Holy Father, strengthened through living faith in the unseen things of God.

Christ's personal parables became a universal language to all nations. No more smoke signals, stick figures on cave walls, or drum beats of earthly tribes, but living picture-language using earthly things to reveal heavenly truth.Rock solid not subject to change with oral traditions

In one sense, all mankind speaks in parables because words themselves carry transferred meaning.

But Satan also has counterfeit parables — outward signs generated by dying earthly things: rosaries, idol images, apparitions, and lying wonders that turn men from sola scriptura toward visible religion.

2 Thessalonians speaks of those who perish because they "received not the love of the truth." Therefore strong delusion follows lying signs and wonders.

The frustration of false parables should drive men back to the true parable: the living Word revealed through sola scriptura and the powerful "Let there be faith" of the invisible Holy Father.

Sola scriptura becomes the universal sign language — no longer ancient smoke signals or tribal drumbeats, but the drumbeat of Christ calling all nations together into one Christian nation of nations under the unseen Holy Father.

Yes, it is true,
Christ, who is our loving Saviour, his teachings, have become a light guiding all the believers of all the nations.
A light which brings joy, peace, calm, reassurance to the spirit.
And the Holy Bible though appears to be simple with easy to understand words,
Is actually a guiding light, with deeper meanings.
Each word carries truth,

Meaning & a path of light.
Whereas Satan is busy deceiving people with his fake teachings which appear to give freedom
Because there are no rules in his book of darkness,
he only teaches people to be selfish, greedy & manipulative,
& people like this kind of freedom.

So people like to enjoy in this fake freedom which he gives,
But later on, this same freedom leads to confusion & chaos.

And Satan is a master of deceit. He can only give pain, fear, worries, struggles,
Despair & hopelessness,
& the more he entangles people with these negatives,
The more control he gets,
He does not want to see people rise,

Because their rise from their struggles will relinquish his control over them,
& he uses his dark evil schemes to keep people bound in trauma, pain & worries,
So that they can never see the light of God,
& he keeps people trapped in his dark teachings,
Because he knows that God's true light releases the negatives from

people's lives,
Lifts off burdens & worries,
& so Satan keeps his deceitful scheming ways ready,
& the fickle conscious mind of human beings feels comforted because they can see what he teaches & seeing makes them believe in his hateful lies,
Whereas what is unseen is eternal,
This unseen truth is the light of God,
Which does not trap innocent people,

But through genuine care, love, compassion & kindness, it frees people into a warm comforting light.
In God's love which is true, there is compassion,
& this loving compassion heals,
It removes unnecessary worries, burdens & problems which which are baseless & which the conscious mind believes exist,
That is the love of God,

But sadly many people choose to believe in Satan's seen teachings which are nothing but lies,
Deceit & darkness.
Satan through his fake seen teachings gives the freedom which actually traps people,
& people feel as if they are existing in a space, where they can say or do whatever they like,

But this is fake freedom,
Because actually Satan is taking away the freedom of God's people by emotional manipulation.
And this is NOT true freedom.
Whereas the freedom which God gives brings inner peace, a comfort, a joy,
A warmth & a radiant glow which can be seen on the face,
Because the soul is actually at peace.

That is why the unseen truth is eternal,
Which gives true freedom, illumination to the soul, & an alignment with God,
That is why to trust in God is better,
As He is gentle, kind merciful & loving,
To our God be the Glory forever,
Amen.

The unfolding of your words gives light;
it gives understanding to the simple.

This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

and give you peace.

As a parable "Wilderness love"  I would offer a lamp unto or feet No movement. A light unto path movement  Christ's dual power to will or say "Let there be" and to do to his good glory or and "it was God alone good" 


Wilderness love.(the backside of God) .Moses in the wilderness backside None can see his face as glory. 

We are to put on and keep on the armor of God a one-timeevent. No armor for the rear back side . Not like a seat belt but leave it on. .  sleep with it.

Like David said in the Psalms;when I awake you are still there.


A poem I offer---In the dawning of your love... this day breaksforth anew. The fast is surely broken,  I awaken , hunger turns towards you.

Now looking for your precious love, it awakens me and finds me waiting here.... . Filling my cup is overflowing. This is your love for sure, that leads us to where we are going.

Your love has so awakened me, as it has desired so, this cannot be mistaken where your love leads me, I will surely go.

Looking in hopeful anticipation the gate swings open to this day anew, and in humble adoration we follow, as your lamp unto our feet.. leads us through.

Step by step we follow your path as the light of your lamp of your word guides our hearts from above, marveling at the fact for our trespass you did pay, But wonder why what kind of love ?

Walking with joy towards your mansion, we pause to drink from your living water of delight. This raises our hope like putting on armor; we are strengthened by the authority of your might.

Times along this journey are sometimes rough we know, a stone of a false gospel may cause us to stumble, and that dark valley, so, so far......... below.

We sometimes feel overshadowed, falling far behind. In this dark and dreary valley, how much longer.... echoes in our mind?

Suddenly lifted high in visions of rapture upon the solid Rock of Christ, we stand.

We look in anticipation for you to speak aword.... but we find we can only
sigh.

We ask that we might see your face, we ask... please do not deny.

Suddenly we find ourselves in a cleft of a Rock, as the place we firmly stand. Could this be the answer of seeking your face.. your gracious and loving reply?

The cloud of your presence now veils the light as your glory passes by, blinded by this wonderful grace. Suddenly your veil now is lifted high.

Sounds of battle we faintly hear, as we look our vision still blurry and marred.

You are the victor of our new faith, our Holy shield, and our rear guard.

Us stragglers and strays you left not behind, but in love said follow me..

By this love you made the victory sure, by your blood you set us free.

Such unfailing love that rescues those you bought, such love that knows no end. 

We thank you Jesus for being our Savior, and also for being our loving
friend.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
and he will establish your plans.
Proverbs 16:3

 

Proverbs 16:3
It is the truth,
Christ is everything for His believers & really worthy of trust,
& whatever He has planned for His people,
it should be accepted without any conditions,
because He knows in advance, already what He has planned & what He will do & what He does,

Its just that His people have to trust Him unconditionally & when this trust is there,
everything begins to align,
with His will,
it is through His will, he makes the impossible into possible,
what His believers don't even know, He already knows in advance,
& begins to align everything,

What seems difficult for the human mind, is made so simple by God,
He already knows what should be given to His people,
& He will give it according to His will,
& before the concious human mind, which relies on what is seen,
can even think, Christ in His magnificence, His sacred love, His divine power & might,

has already begun to prepare,
& He knows what blessings He will bestow on those who trust Him with all their hearts & souls,
Is anything too hard for Our Beloved Saviour Christ? no.
That is the power of Christ,
He has already moved everything in Heaven,

& in His divine time,  everything will move on the earth,
& what He has given already, it will not be taken back,
because His promises for His believers are not like shifting shadows,
what He has already blessed, it will take place,

 
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.
1 John 5:14
