It's Invisible!

I found myself smitten over the last few days as I read about the visible and invisible worlds that God has created.  Colossians 1:16 states that “He created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible.  Whether they are kings or lords, rulers or powers --- everything has been created through him and for him.” (God’s Word ©)  The more I have meditated on this verse, the more I have felt my faith soar and my determination increase in order to stand firm on the truth of His Word concerning my wife’s health.

It is just way too easy to get caught up in what you see with your natural eyes.  When you’re constantly faced with the visible deterioration of a loved one, (or any situation for that matter) it can be hard to see beyond the facts being presented to you.  But the scriptures make it very clear that there is a whole other world operating out there for us that we cannot see or touch with our physical senses.  Colossians 1:16 says that there are other seats of power available to us that are able to influence and change the visible realm that we exist in.
Hebrews 11:1 tells us that faith is the doorway to contact and receive from God’s invisible world.  The next verse declares that the elders written of in our bibles received a good report or favor through their acts of faith, while Hebrews 11:3 states that our faith also gives us the understanding of how God created the world we now see from the invisible world we do not see.
All the promises and provisions of God’s world are ours and they are out there for the taking… through our actions and words of faith.  We may not be able to see those answers or provisions immediately, but nevertheless they are there for us!  Genesis 1 verses 3,6,9,11,14,20, 24 and 26 tell how God created the universe out of nothing that was visible at the time by what He said!  Jesus taught the disciples this same principle for them to follow in Mark 11:23.  Therefore it would make sense to follow the Father’s and the Son’s example and speak the Word in faith in order to receive the promises God has provided for us!
Yes, we all have to deal with the natural things around us, but we don’t have to let the natural course of things have the final answer in our lives.  Colossians 1:13 states that “God has rescued us from the power of darkness and has brought us into the kingdom of his Son, whom he loves.” (God’s Word ©)  As Christians our base of power now lies in the unseen world of the kingdom of God – WOW!!!  And our faith filled actions and words (based on His Word) will eventually turn any negative situation that you may be facing around and put it in line with God’s promises for you.
Now that’s what I call Good News!  Have a great day.  Stay in tune to His Word and keep asking yourself… “What Good News am I expecting today?”
