The Unseen

I am grateful for the unseen, that things eternal are spiritual and out of the perception of human eye, but will not always be so. [2 Corinthians 4:18, 1 Corinthians 13:12]

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Hebrews 11:1

Me: Good morning, Father!

Abba: Good morning, Jon!

Have you considered why you have a sense of gratitude about the obscurity of the unseen? Do not think that it originates within you. I tell you plainly that it is My heart to hide the mysteries of glory from the eye of natural man.

Then the LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

Genesis 6:5

Nor was that wickedness eliminated by the flood.

You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.

John 8:44

You only need to look at daily news items to see his activity in the hearts of men.

But I AM your redeemer. Consider John’s description of Jesus:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

John 1:1-5

For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

1 Corinthians 1:18

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

1 Corinthians 2:14

Have you observed a lack of discernment? I AM sure that you have!

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.

John 14:6

The spiritual realm above is safe from the machinations of corrupt man, but open before those who are in Jesus; to those who love Me, who are a new creation.

“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you. All things that the Father has are Mine. Therefore I said that He will take of Mine and declare it to you.

John 16:12-15

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.

John 16:33

Me: Thank You, Father! I love You!

Abba: You are welcome! I love you!
