Understanding the Unseen

To understand something like the un-seenable, un-hearable, un-touchable, un-smellable, and/or un-speakable, one must consider that it exists.

Saying “it doesn’t exist” is just an opinion, just like saying “it does exist.”

It all depends on:

• Time

The Reality of the Spiritual Realm

The spiritual realm exists—it always has. Just like hunger—you may not feel it now, but sooner or later, it comes.

The concept exists; it’s just a matter of time.

Faith and the Unseen

Faith is:

“Confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

While something unnatural happens, there are signs.

Signs and Examples

Physical Examples:

• A woman feels sick— She could be actually sick, pregnant, or have something else.
• A car doesn’t turn on— The issue could be the alternator, battery, ignition coils, or spark plugs.

These are signs— you just have to be aware, believe, and accept.

Spiritual Examples:

• Controlling weather, water, and other forces

I want to focus biblically, but perhaps you have experienced your own supernatural encounters.

Biblical Examples of Supernatural Acts

Exodus 7

God uses Moses to free His people, performing miraculous acts.

Exodus 7:10-13

• Moses uses his

  staff

  , and it turns into a

  snake

  when dropped.

• Pharaoh’s

  sorcerers

  perform the

  same act

  .

Exodus 7:14-24

• Moses follows

  God’s command

  , and the

  Nile River turns to blood

  .

• Pharaoh’s

  sorcerers replicate the act

  .

Side Note:

God can be viewed as a tyrant or manipulator— but He separated Moses from birth to lead Israel.

The Difference Between God and Demons

The slight difference is:

• Demons need your body

  (your will/consent) to perform

  their actions and will trick you by doing so

  .

• God doesn’t need us

  , but He

  wants us to be with Him

  .

However, when we allow malicious desires, God must step away from us because He is holy.

Sin vs. Free Will

The devil doesn’t care about you. He only cares about you doing the opposite of Gods’ will.

When we act against Gods’ will, we are following the devil’s will (aka our own will)— which is sin.

Why Jesus Came

That’s why Jesus came to die for you and me.

• Sin = Automatic Death

• But

  Jesus’ sacrifice

  gives us

  eternal life

• If you believe it, you have it

Faith is the Key

This is one of the traits of life— *Faith.*
