A Lifestyle of Faith
2 Corinthians 5:7 TPT
“For we live by faith, not by what we can see with our eyes.”
When it comes to faith, for some believers, no matter how they try, they can’t just seem to have headway or any progress.
If you will pay a close attention to them, you will apparently know why. One minute, you will hear them say, “Glory, I believe the word,” and the next minutes, they have switched to unbelief like it is going out of style. “I know God will bless me or heal me, but I’ll tell you this, I don’t think I can have enough money to pay my bills and I have lost sleep over it for worrying or my health is failing and I think I will have to live with it.” By the time you dig a little into them, you may find out that their actions are totally out of sync with God’s word.
The believer must understand that faith is not a “panic button”. It is not something you try to have or try to exercise when you want to receive from God. Faith is a lifestyle. You must bring your entire being (spirit, soul and body) to understand this reality.
Paul is saying from our text that our walk is a walk of faith and not of sight – ‘sight’ here means “physical senses/realms.” Your physical senses is not to dictate to you, instead it is to follow what your spirit has received from the word of God.
So, get yourself together, believe God’s word even if what you are seeing now in the physical contradicts what your spirit is receiving. Consistently allow your mind and body get aligned with what your spirit has received.
CONFESSION
I believe the word of God even if what I’m seeing in the physical contradict what God promised in His word. I make faith my life and I walk in and by it. Amen
