Shaping Reality with Unseen Faith
Hebrews 11:3
Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
“Things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” In other words, things which are visible and tangible are not created by other things which are visible and tangible. Think about it; everything is perceived with a thought, projected with a word, and procured with faith in that word. That is why faith comes by hearing the word of God. We do not simply believe; we believe IN SOMETHING. Faith has an object. Our faith should be grounded in what God has said. Companies are built upon words of men with great vision. Why? Because people place confidence in men’s words, and therefore join their causes. Governments are formed by men of influence. Why? Because those same leaders understand the weight of words that are believable. Leaders know that if they can get you to BELIEVE what they are saying, they can also get you to DO what they want you to do. Everybody believes in something. What do you believe in? Show me what you are DOING, and I’ll show you what you BELIEVE!
Which leads me to my main point; what do you DO in efforts to effect change in your world? If what you are DOING to effect change is not working, then perhaps your FAITH is being placed in the wrong area. In order to get the visible and tangible circumstances of life to change, we MUST place our faith in an invisible God who can move mountains. Again, our text says, “Things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” That means that whatever is tangible and visible in your life was birthed FIRST in the spiritual realm. So, in order to get it to move, we must wage warfare against it in the spiritual realm. If you can get it moving in the spirit world, it will manifestly move in the natural world. This explains why you hear stories of former cancer patients walking away from the X-Ray room with a clean bill of health; someone placed their faith in the Word of God, spoke that Word in faith into the spiritual realm, and moved the mountain of cancer from the natural body. I’m telling you today that you will get nowhere fighting the tangible; do battle on your knees with God’s Word as your sword, and things will begin to move in your life!
