Faith Is Anything But Blind
Faith is not blind. Faith sees what the natural eyes cannot see.
It sees the answer to lifes
problems. Doubt sees what currently is and no more. Hope sees
what can be but is not yet. Faithsees what is and will be. The
seeing of faith is not seeing with the physical eyes; it is a
seeing of
the heart. Just like the hearing of faith is not hearing with
physical ears, but rather, with the earsof the human spirit.
but just as it is written, THINGS WHICH (physical) EYE HAS NOT
SEEN AND (physical)
EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE (natural)
HEART OFMAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM. 1
Corinthians
2:9
..while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen; for thethings which are seen are
temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal. 2
Corinthians
4:18
Faith is not mere confidence. Faith is not trying to believe.
Faith comes when you know that you
know that YOU KNOW something will happen. This surety can only
come from someone whoknows and holds the future in His hands. Only

place of this kind of knowing.
Faith is determined by what we know prior to the event. If we
know no more than anybody else
before the game, then we are the same as everybody else during
the game. True faith knows
beforehand what will happen. Faith is a pre-knowledge of the
coming victory, and this
knowledge gives us peace. We may know the coming victory in
detail or we may know it simplyby the peace in our heart. Either
way, it communicates a knowledge of victory, and by it, we
have faith. It is the spirit of man yielded to the Spirit of God
that allows us to see and hear thethings that God has for us.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the
Spirit who is from God, so that we
may know the things freely given to us by God, which things we
also speak, not in words taughtby human wisdom, but in those taught
by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual
words. But a natural man does not accept the things of the
Spirit of God, for they are foolishness
to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are
spiritually appraised. But he who isspiritual appraises all things,
yet he himself is appraised by no one. 1 Corinthians 2:12-15
We alone as believing Christians have the ability to know the
will of the Lord by hearing His
voice and seeing the answer, even if afar off.
For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT
HIM?But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16
Faith is not something you muster on your own from within, it is
something you receive fromwithout. Absolute surety can only come
from an Absolute Being. Faith comes from God, by a
