SHOW ME O LORD

2Cor 4:18
“For we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen; for the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.”

Some have asked me; “why do you emphasise about the spiritual?” “We are physical so why not concentrate on the things happening around us?”
Here in this passage above, we see Apostle Paul, admonishing the church at Corinth saying ‘focus on the unseen’

So Why should we have to focus on what is not seen?

1. They dictate what happens to us here on earth.
(Job 1: 6-12) “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them…… Then Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nought? ….. put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse thee to thy face.” And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself do not put forth your hand.”
Job lost a lot of possessions, investments and children, not because of what he did, but because of a cosmic test in the spiritual realm of the heavens, being played out by him on earth.
In the heavens, satan was granted permission to touch Job, so on earth, Job began to act out the script.

 

2. They influence how our prayers are answered.
(Daniel 10: 7- 13) “And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision… And behold, a hand touched me…. And he said to me,.……Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. The prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, so I left him there with the prince of the kingdom of Persia”
Daniel was praying but was not getting any result. He tarried in prayer but had nothing to show for it, then an angel was sent to him to make him understand that his prayers were withstood in the spiritual realm by ruling forces of darkness.
Isn’t it true that the key to a glorious life of prayer success lies in the spiritual realm? It is settled in the spirit realm and then transferred to the physical.

 

3. They show us visions of what is to come
Revelations 1:9-10 & 19 “I John…. I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying…. write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches….
The spiritual realm at times, act as a mirror, with pre-monitions of things to come.
When John was given access to the spirit realm in then book of revelations, it was to show him vision of what was to come. No wonder the book is called the book of revelations.
Wouldn’t it be great to have warnings of disaster, and/or visions of the good to come?

 

4. They show us the past so we can get revelations and make corrections.
1 Ki 22: 14-21 “I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd….I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing beside him on his right hand and on his left; and the Lord said, “Who will entice Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one said one thing, and another said another. Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord,saying, “I will entice him.’
Here we see a classic case of entering the spiritual realm to see what has happened in the past so as to avoid mistakes in the future. Micaiah entered the spirit realm and saw what had happened in the heavenlies, so he tried to warn Ahab about what was about to happen, but Ahab would have none of it.
Isnt it true that God still sends warnings to us today to avoid impending danger or disaster? Do you heed or do you stubbornly keep to your pre-determined lane, irrespective of the consequences?

 

5. They can assure us of a glorious future
Gen 37:5 “Now Joseph had a dream”
Joseph dreamt of greatness when he was a young lad. His dreams initiated him into the spiritual world and from then on, he wasn’t the same again: he changed his habits and worked tirelessly, never lost hope and was highly driven to succeed.
The spiritual can change our attitude towards our future, and our response to the present.

 

PRAYER
Lord open my eyes and grant me access to the the throne of revelation.
Let me begin to see that which has been withheld from me for ages that would affect my glorious destiny
Every veil that is preventing me from seeing what I ought to see to make a difference in my life, o lord begin to tear it in Jesus name
Every spirit that does not stop me from seeing in my dreams but prevents me from remembering, o lord send them to the pits of hell by your power in Jesus name

Show me the secret things that would shape my future for good.
Lord let me into the past that has become an embargo to my future glory.
Lord illuminate me, that I may press on with purpose to fulfil destiny.
Let me not be denied revelations that would impact my destiny and make a difference to the world o lord.
Lord give me a listening ear that I may benefit from the messages of the spiritual realm.
Every dumb and deaf spirit operating within me, that refuses to tune into the spiritual, to my detriment, Lord I give notice to them to depart from me today forever in Jesus name

Amen.
