Confession of Faith - June 19, 2004

SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:8-10)

CONFESSION

Series 2.6.19 - #171

June 19, 2004

Many have never imagined the beauty of the living jewels beneath the sea. They have never ventured beyond the line between the beach and the sea. So is it with God's people. They have never discovered the beauty of the things that are in the invisible world, for they only focus on the things in the visible world. He has opened my eyes to see into the invisible world. There are horses and chariots of fire in the invisible world. God has opened my eyes that I may behold the wondrous things of God Almighty. He desires to take his people beyond what is manifested in them. He has showed them clearly the invisible things of God from the creation of the world by the things that are made. His eternal power and Godhead has been shown to them. They are without excuse. Moses walked by faith and forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king, for he endured, as seeing God who is invisible. I set him before me always. He is on my hand and I shall not be moved. I rejoice in my heart and let my tongue be glad. My eyes see, and my ears hear; therefore, I rejoice. It is time to actually look at the things that are not seen. Many only look at the things that are seen. The things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal. I allow God to carry me beyond the natural realm into the true realm of true faith, for faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. He has brought the promises of God nearby. Those who died in faith saw the promises afar off and were persuaded of them and embraced them, I more should embrace and be fully persuaded of them. I am compassed about with a great cloud of witnesses; therefore, I run with patience the race that is set before me as I look unto Jesus the author and finisher of my faith. He will show me of things beyond my natural eyesight. I behold the sea. I do not know what is there. The things that are there are not excluded because of my lack of knowledge. The wonders that are there would be left undiscovered unless someone had ventured there. I behold the wonders of the invisible world. The invisible world is real. I behold it. It is not viewed by natural eyesight. Unless God opens my spiritual eyes, I cannot see into it. I am not afraid. These dimensions are darkness to those whose eyes have not been opened to see into them. These dimensions are secret places. God will give me the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that I may know that he, Jesus, who has called me by name, is the God of Israel and the God of the entire earth. He is a spirit. I cannot truly worship him in spirit and in truth, if I do not believe that I, being spirit, can see into the spirit world. Let others keep their eyes closed as baby animals if they desire, but I will not be denied of the glory of what so many have already seen. I behold the sea. Nature should teach me that there is more to this life than what I see. I have a spirit nature. Now by my spirit nature I shall behold the wonders of the spirit world.

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Ephesians 2:8-9

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
