Don`t be afraid, seek God first

Instead of sight, see beyond

God enjoys being called by us and it means seeking answers for our lives in Him, promises fulfilled in us by Him. He wants and He enjoys being cried out. Maybe you live at the edge of your strength, patience, resources, and many times you get disturbed at being cried out. Some people get upset when we ask for something many times. People`s look changes when they ask us for things repeatedly because we get tired, and with no patience. Repetitive actions that compel us to act irritate to human, which is highly saturated. We get bothered at doing the same thing again and again. But God pleases with our requests. The way we ask God is dangerous. If proving God means asking Him for something respectfully, let's prove the Lord. If proving God means being cocky, boastful, proud, demanding, disrespectful, then you will get disappointed because you're not going to please God, but to offend the Lord. Seek God but not asking for anything, but praising and worshiping God. Show your love and your gratitude to God. The Lord is almighty, that powerful, that a small piece of portion of His power falling from His table is enough to solve all of our problems said the Canaanite woman. We live in the middle of a war, of a spiritual combat. When the word of the Lord says one thousand fall by your side and ten thousand to your right, it tells us that we're in the middle of the battle.

Our war is not against God, not against flesh or blood, but persecution, adversities, negative words, losing streak, ready to reap to your faith. The only thing that sustains your vision is Christ Jesus. The day you remove the vision of God, you're sunk.

Fear strengthens the problem and attracts the destruction. In Proverbs says, if we show ourselves loose on the day of our anguish, our strength shown small. So when a person is scared, he or she attracts weakness, a fearful person is a weak person. Don't let fear get in you, continue with the focus on God. The Bible says that fear produces torment. Talking about fear attracts trouble. What we fear comes in. Every human being has a view, perception, but not everyone's vision. Everyone can analyze the situations technically; see what is before our eyes. The vision does not analyze people; go straight on that God sends us. Isaac married to Rebekah with sight, he married to the vision. The view goes by, the vision stays. If I want to be successful in life, I have to have vision. Our diagnosis is limited, we can only view profiles, but that's not important, they are just details. We don't need to tune in sight for this to work; we need to work out the vision. Know your water tank is in your cistern, is gem, not locust beans. Abraham sent for his wife to Isaac in the source, why would God. We don't need, we need the vision, which is in the secret. The view is misleading. Only those who have the vision are able to see beyond. The view is good, important, necessary, but not essential. It`s the vision. The view goes by, but the vision stays. Don't analyze people by sight, ask God. God knows all things and knows what's best for you. Ask a sign to God. Sight is vanity and it's superficial. Vision is profound it is spiritual. A person who is afraid turns what doesn`t exist into something that exists, as a person with faith. Fear makes it happen. While Peter looked at Jesus, he walked on water. When he got scared he dealt with a ghost, he sank. The Bible has several passages saying we don't have to fear. You will just walk on the water, and will pass over problems if you get the vision. Jesus gave Peter the vision and if you lose the vision, you will sink, like Pedro. Without a vision, you'll see difficulty in everything. Just having view you will not be able to solve all cases, you need vision for many of them. The view solves everyday situations, normal conditions, but the rest of them with no vision we get consumed. On the day you need, you will discover the difference between sight and vision. Our life is not limited to the trivial; you've arrived at your normal, but to go beyond it`s necessary to have vision. And that's what we seek on the night of Abraham, the vision of God.
