What By faith not be Sight

Don’t live according to the physical

2 Corinthians 5:7 CSB

For we walk by faith, not by sight.

Faith is the reality of what is hoped for - Heb 11:1

Hebrews 11:1 CSB

Now faith is the reality of what is hoped for, the proof of what is not seen.

The proof of what is not seen- What is not seen is the Spiritual

Proof is evidence- We can see God moving through the lives of His people Because His people walk by faith

They live in assurance that God is who He says He is- He doesn’t change

He is always our savior- no matter the situation

He is always our Refuge- a place of protection and security

Walking by Faith is the Assurance of God-

What God says He will do

What God promises will come to be

His plans are better, greater then all I could ever hope or imagine

Jeremiah 29:11 CSB

For I know the plans I have for you”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“plans for your well-being, not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.

God’s Plans

Jeremiah 29:12–13 CSB

You will call to me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart.

Our Faith in response to God promise

Pray

Seek

Trust

Obey

Walk by faith

don’t judge things based on the physical

2 Kings 6:8–23 CSB

When the king of Aram was waging war against Israel, he conferred with his servants, “My camp will be at such and such a place.” But the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.” Consequently, the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had told him about. The man of God repeatedly warned the king, so the king would be on his guard. The king of Aram was enraged because of this matter, and he called his servants and demanded of them, “Tell me, which one of us is for the king of Israel?” One of his servants said, “No one, my lord the king. Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel even the words you speak in your bedroom.” So the king said, “Go and see where he is, so I can send men to capture him.” When he was told, “Elisha is in Dothan,” he sent horses, chariots, and a massive army there. They went by night and surrounded the city. When the servant of the man of God got up early and went out, he discovered an army with horses and chariots surrounding the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?” Elisha said, “Don’t be afraid, for those who are with us outnumber those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, please open his eyes and let him see.” So the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he saw that the mountain was covered with horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. When the Arameans came against him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike this nation with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, according to Elisha’s word. Then Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you’re looking for.” And he led them to Samaria. When they entered Samaria, Elisha said, “Lord, open these men’s eyes and let them see.” So the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw that they were in the middle of Samaria. When the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, “Should I kill them, should I kill them, my father?” Elisha replied, “Don’t kill them. Do you kill those you have captured with your sword or your bow? Set food and water in front of them so they can eat and drink and go to their master.” So he prepared a big feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The Aramean raiders did not come into Israel’s land again.
