"It's NOT What You See!"
TODAY - if I was looking at my circumstances, I
would absolutely be overwhelmed, full of fear, and ready to resign because of "what I see!"
I cannot
tell you how important it is to 'walk in the spirit', and to not be distracted by your five-senses or the blaring
evil communications from the demonic forces that would like you and I to agree with the forecast of hell - and abort our fearless
confidence, radical faith, and total dependence upon the Lord!
I'm actually seeing in the spiritual dimension
now more than ever before, and powerful demonic hosts are working to set the stage for the demise of God's people - by
convincing them that the promises of God are NOT true, God can't be trusted, and somehow - we all just don't qualify
for His blessings, favor and supernatural release like everybody else does! How ridiculous, and how carnal - IF we believe
that!
IF you are in the word of God AT ALL, and are fully meditating on His promises daily - it's NOT
possible for you to fall prey to the enemy's devices or back down in fear due to His antagonistic agenda, evil plots and
perverted schemes! Anyone really walking with God who becomes a casualty of war at this juncture is either in willful
sin or is NOT genuinely committed to the will and ways of the Lord!
God has NOT left us powerless against
the enemy, and His promises cannot fail - no matter WHO steps out upon them - the wavering, the weak, the weary, the weathered,
or the wandering.
Moments ago, I thought about three words that sum up the stirring I've felt taking place
in the spiritual realm - PERCEPTION, CONCEPTION, and RECEPTION!
PERCEPTION: "How you see - what you see, is THE ISSUE!"
1. The act of perceiving or of receiving impressions by the senses; or that act or process of the
mind which makes known an external object. In other words, the notice which the mind takes of external
objects. We gain knowledge of the coldness and smoothness of marble by perception. 2. In philosophy, the faculty of perceiving; the faculty or peculiar part of man's constitution,
by which he has knowledge through the medium or instrumentality of the bodily organs. 3. Notion; idea. 4. The state of
being affected or capable of being affected by something external.
CONCEPTION: "If
you let your heart accept the facts as your reality, the truth will never materialize for you!"
1. In pneumatology,
apprehension of nay thing by the mind; the act of conceiving in the mind; that mental act or combination of acts by which
an idea or notion is formed of an absent object of perception, or of a sensation formerly felt. When we see an object with
our eyes open, we have a perception of it; when the same object is presented to the mind with the eyes shut, in idea only
or in memory, we have a conception of it. 2. Conception may
be sometimes used for the power of conceiving ideas, as when we say, a thing is not within our conception. Some writers have
defined conception as a distinct faculty of the mind; but it is considered by others as memory, and perhaps with propriety.
3. Purpose conceived; conception with reference to the performance
of an act. 4. Apprehension; knowledge.
RECEPTION:
"You determine what comes into your sphere (realm of influence), and I choose life!"
1. The
act of receiving; in a general sense; as the reception of food into the stomach, or of air into the lungs. 2. The state of being received. 3. Admission of any thing sent or communicated; as the reception of a letter; the reception of sensation or ideas.
4. Readmission.
My plea to those who have "ears
to hear"... Don't be sad for me because of my present pain or difficulties!
Ask the Lord to open
the eyes of your understanding so that you can see what He's done (is doing) and heed what He is saying, right now!
The gates of hell cannot prevail against the "true
church"! Are you in that number?
