DO YOU BELIEVE THE INVISIBLE? Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Faith is the proof of things not seen. Faith does not look for evidence. There are two realms--the realm of things seen and the realm of things not seen. The Bible tells us not to look at things that are seen but to look at things that are not seen. The reason: Things that are seen are temporal and the things that are not seen are eternal. If we are not believing in things that are not seen, we are not walking by faith. Faith has nothing to do with visible things. That is why the Bible says we are to walk by faith and not by sight. Sight has to do with the senses of the body and the things of this world. Christ said that we are in the world but not of the world. We are crea­tures of the Spirit. Jesus said, “Whatsoever things you desire when you pray believe that you have received them and you shall have them.” You must believe first in the Spirit. Faith takes place in the Spirit before it is ever evidenced in the flesh. A sense- knowledge man is ruled by his senses. A man of faith is ruled by the Word of God. He has a Word-ruled heart. His mind is subject to the Word. A sense- knowledge man is limited to his senses (his body). There is no limitation to the man of faith who believes in the invisible. To walk in fear and discouragement is to walk after the flesh--the old man. The Spirit that God has made us to be in Him is never fearful or discouraged. You are a new creation in Christ. That’s where you live. The old man of sense knowledge is dead. Why be ruled by that which is no more? Jesus died to be sure that the old man of sin was done away with. You (the old man of flesh) are dead and your true life is hid with Christ in God. Just believe it--THAT’S FAITH! Warren D. Rogers
