Get Real!


Day 116
What you see with your eyes and hear with your ears, and everything you experience through your physical senses, is temporary -- none of it will last. Enjoy the good things, for every good and perfect gift comes from Me. But do not hang onto these things, do not trust in these things, and do not go after them. Enjoy, and let them go, because the things you cannot see are what you must go after.

My kingdom, in this age, and to the physical senses, is invisible. But to those who are born of my Spirit, and who walk in my Spirit, it is real and very present. Open your spiritual senses, and exercise them to be more fully aware of things eternal. For your real life is hidden with Christ in God, and you are seated with Him in heavenly places. Ask my Holy Spirit to reveal Me and my kingdom as you prayerfully study my word, and store up for yourself eternal treasure by walking it out through this life.


Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. -- James 1:17

So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. -- Matthew 6:31-33

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. -- 2 Corinthians 4:18

But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil. -- Hebrews 5:14
