SEE BY THE SPIRIT
…Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter (Revelation 4:1).
In life, what you see determines how you live. So it’s important that you see spiritually; you see by the Spirit. Seeing by the Spirit is seeing through the Word, seeing with the eyes of faith. Many are ruled by fear and anxiety because they’re seeing from the valley; they look at things from the human or earthly perspective.
But when you see by the Word through the Spirit, you realize that you’re neither the sick trying to get healed nor the poor trying to be rich. You’re not the defeated trying to become victorious. Rather, you see that you’re the glory of God, a victor in Christ Jesus, the perfection of divine excellence. Hallelujah!
The Word of God gives you spiritual elevation. It lifts your perspective and vision above the mundane and lets you see from God’s vantage point. This is what John experienced: he heard a voice saying, “Come up hither,” and when he did, he was transported in the spirit to see divine realities.
God has called us to function by revelation. We walk by faith, not by sight. And faith is living by the Word, acting on the basis of God’s Word and not on impulses or sensory perceptions. That’s how you live above limitations. That’s how you stay ahead of the world. That’s how you dominate circumstances and triumph over the adversary and adversities.
You may have been diagnosed with some terrible ailments without hope for a cure; see yourself through the Word and you’d discover that the sickness or disease is a mirage. You’re whole, perfect, and sound in Christ. You’re the perfection of divine beauty. This is the truth.
In John 8:32, the Lord said, “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” In Christ Jesus, you’re in the vantage position of health, prosperity and victory. This is why you have to develop yourself in the Word. Consciously increase your knowledge of the Word. The Bible says, “…grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ…” (2 Peter 3:18).
CONFESSION
I’m constantly metamorphosed and positioned by the Word for the higher life of glory and triumphs, filled with strength, courage, faith and wisdom to do the will of the Father and fulfil my destiny in Christ. I walk in divine health, excellence and dominion as I yield myself to be inspired, taught, educated and trained by the Word. Glory to God!
