“SEEING BEYOND THE NATURAL” JOHN 4:35

All things the eyes can see are called seeing in the natural.
But, all things the eyes can’t see in the future are seeing with spiritual eyes.
Have you asked yourself where you will be in 5 months or 5 years from now?
Do you think that whatever you are facing right now will dictate your future?
What is seeing beyond the natural?
How can we see beyond the natural?

John 4:35 says, “Do you not say, ‘It is still four months until the harvest comes?’ Look, I say to you, raise your eyes and look at the fields and see, they are white for harvest.”

How can it become white for the harvest if the people say they’re still 4 months before the harvest time ?Again, Jesus said. “LOOK AND SEE!!!!!!” That is seeing beyond the natural!

Now, how can we see beyond the natural?

There are 3 points of view for our guide and reminder:

We must know and learn that God is able to go beyond the natural. “Now to Him who is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly more than all that we dare ask or think [infinitely beyond our greatest prayers, hopes, or dreams], according to His power that is at work within us,” Ephesians 3:20 AMP

  • He is beyond and super abundantly more than we are able to think, see, feel, and more than anything else in this world.
  • Jesus said, “look and see!”
  • Look and see you are already blessed.
  • Look and see you are healed.
  • Look and see you are strong.
  • For us to see beyond the natural we must think out of the box.
  • Don’t limit your God, our God, just on how you think and see naturally, because God is not natural, God is supernatural!
  • If you are limiting what God can do in your life, you will miss God’s plan and purpose in your life.                                                                

We must know and learn to trust the Lord moment by moment.

“Thomas answered Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, do you now believe? Blessed [happy, spiritually secure, and favored by God] are they who did not see [Me] and yet believed [in Me].”John 20:28-29 AMP

  • What man can’t do, God can do!
  • What you can’t do, God can do!
  • No matter what you are facing right now, no matter what your situation is, Jesus Said, Blessed are the people who did not see Him and yet they believed.
  • Look at how Jesus made a miracle with the 5 loaves and 2 fishes in Matthew 14:15-17. He ordered the disciples to have the people sit and give thanks to the Lord, and then there were 5000 men, except women and children who ate the multiplied fish and loaves.
  • Look at how Jesus ordered the people to sit, He wants you to relax and not worry or be anxious.
  • God said to you, “Chill! I got you!”
  • Relax because God is in charge.

We must know and learn to act by FAITH.

  • Faith acts. It moves, it works.
  • My husband has faith. He acted and moved on the conviction of The Lord, and now, he has a beautiful wife! hahahah
  • But kidding aside, Faith sometimes can be unreasonable, sometimes you don’t like it, sometimes it hurts you, but you have to stand and walk on God’s promises, and the promises of God are sure.
  • “For with the heart a person believes [in Christ as Savior] resulting in his justification [that is, being made righteous—being freed of the guilt of sin and made acceptable to God]; and with the mouth he acknowledges and confesses [his faith openly], resulting in and confirming [his] salvation. For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him [whoever adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Him] will not be disappointed [in his expectations].” [Is 28:16]”Romans 10:10-11 AMP
  • Whoever relies on Him will not be disappointed.
  • For us to see beyond the natural, we must walk by faith and not by our sight.

Conclusion:

“Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above; it comes down from the Father of lights [the Creator and Sustainer of the heavens], in whom there is no variation [no rising or setting] or shadow cast by His turning [for He is perfect and never changes]. It was of His own will that He gave us birth [as His children] by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits of His creatures [a prime example of what He created to be set apart to Himself—sanctified, made holy for His divine purposes]. James 1:17-18 AMP

As His children, In all aspect of our lives

IN CHRIST, I AM SUPERNATURALLY BLESSED !!!!!!!!!!!!!
