FOCUS ON THE SPIRITUAL

“While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:18 (KJV)
I have observed that the devil uses circumstances to play a mind game on believers. That is his area of operation, and he is a master at it. If you try to engage him in that arena, you will lose. He is a master in the arena of the natural realm. He will pressure you, making you feel your husband is about to leave you. He will make you feel that you can never finish building that house. When you expect to dedicate, he will dry up your finances. You give and give, trusting God for manifestation and then you will discover that it suddenly looks as if nothing is coming. But the God we serve is not in the company of those who say yes when He means no.
God is always a yes God. Every promise has been validated in the blood of His Son, Jesus Christ. There is no single promise that does not have a yes answer. Every promise has been paid for by the blood. So, your part is to agree with the promise. Don’t let your mind get in the way. It is your spirit that will educate your mind.
You receive information through your mind or mental faculties when you go to school. But when it comes to Spiritual things, it has nothing to do with natural information. It is a revelation from God. It is the Spirit that rules in that circumstance. The Spirit realm will look at a woman who has no womb and say, you will have a child. That does not make natural sense at all. Your sense will tell you it can never happen. Looking at all the medical reports, there is no way you can have a baby. But the truth is that the Spirit world rules, controls and governs the natural realm.
