"Blessed are the eyes that see the things you see! 24 For I tell you that many prophets and kings wanted to see the things you see but didn't see them; to hear the things you hear but didn't hear them" Luke 10:21-24 CSB
Remember if you can, the time when you didn't know Jesus - you couldn't see Him or hear Him but, He was there. There may be times that you can pinpoint God overseeing you - when you felt His presence. It may have been something happening that you couldn't explain; something very wonderful that changed your circumstances for the better. You may have prayed to God at the time. I remember doing this myself, and things did change for the better but, I never thanked God. I never knew that I had to; it was just something that had remained in my mind from Sunday School or an RE lesson. You may have had similar experiences.
As we look back it's possible to see where God was involved, yet at the time we didn't know this. Now that we are born again, things become more significant, we can see and hear God's work. However, this time we go by faith. 'For we walk by faith, not by sight' (2 Corinthians 5:7). We must live life based on what God's word teaches us to believe, instead of on what we can see. We can't see what He has promised but, we act and obey because we have confidence in Him. Also because, 'For without faith it is impossible to please God' (Hebrews 11:6).
Now there are possibly things that God has told you about but at this present time, nothing has happened. It is always possible that you may have it wrong but, if that certainty is still there, don't back away from it - don't quit. God has His own timing and it's not like yours; His is perfect, He is always on time. Until the fruition of what God has told you manifests keep on soaking that promise in prayer and worship.
We walk by faith; we see and hear things that the natural world has no knowledge about. We are Kingdom people, Warriors of the Lord Jesus Christ. Just a glance at how Jesus walked the earth demonstrates that He was and is different. He saw, sees and hears things others cannot. We belong to Him; He lives in us therefore, it is expected that as we walk by faith and not by sight, we will do the same.
