See This

See: To see; to look at; to view attentively; to observe; to carefully look over; to closely look upon and contemplate and inspect. To see; to perceive; to closely observe; to see by personal experience; to notice; to understand.
I truly believe what God has shared with me, will settle your mind and heart, pertaining to living Holy in a wretched world.
When you are traveling, as long as there are no turnoffs, traffic, or detours, you can set the cruise control and just cruise. .
But, even on your destination, you have to pump the brakes to turn off the cruise so that you will not crash into someone, because the traffic may become thick
But notice, although you have to slow down, it does not stop you from getting to your destination
You are still moving forward, regardless. . .
So why do we get fearful when we see a threat? When Jesus Christ stated John 16:33 “33 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.
Our greatest opponent is not what you think it is; our greatest opponent is our natural eyesight! How is it we have had so many victories, but at the semblance of defeat, we tend to tense up, weaken our stance, and run. . .
If you are looking where He has brought you from and through, then you will be rest assured that this too, will be another Glory To God for bringing me through
What causes us to stop at the resistance? 1 John 3:20 “20 For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.”
Condemn = “The act of pronouncing guilt after weighing the evidence. . .”
We tend to return to guilt, because of what we see naturally - As the friends of Job stated to him, because this sickness has fallen upon you, these terrible things have taken hold of you, you must have done something to anger The Lord. . .
And when Job saw that he began to complain!
If we don’t cut it down at the sight of it, then it will enter into our hearts and will become a cancer, that will eat away what we know!
If you are not careful with seeing what has been said, you will begin to believe what your heart is telling you - Jeremiah 17:99 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it?”
Then we will enter into a place of depression, frustration and fear. . . Asking God, “Don’t you see what is happening. . .” even though we know that He Knows All Things. . Yet, because we are here in the natural, we allow fear, to cripple us at times. . . And don’t say that is not me, because if it happened to Obadiah and Elijah, then it will happen to you!
Jesus declares, Matthew 5:12 “12 Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.”
1 Kings 19: 1-3 “1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, also how he had executed all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, “So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.” 3 And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and went to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.”
If you are going to run, who do you run to? Proverbs 18:10 “10 The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous run to it and are safe.”
Jezebel sent a message, ahead of time, out of her rage, she showed her hand, giving The Prophet evidence, to leave that place. .
Why are we running to empty caves? All because we saw a thing that cannot prosper towards us?
1 Kings 19:8 “8 So he arose, and ate and drank; and he went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights as far as Horeb, the mountain of God.”
If you are not careful, seeing “That” will cause you to wander in the wilderness - What you don’t see in the text is that where he ended up in Horeb, was only a 3 to 4 days journey. . l.
Can you testify truthfully, because I saw “that” I kept myself captive and isolated because I thought “that” was going to take me out!
God said to me; “Marlon, why are you allowing “that” to be processed more than “This” (My Word)? When you already know that I Am has already given you the victory!
Why are you running and hiding, when you know that My Glory must be revealed in spite of. . .
Remember My Words, “The Battle is not yours, it belongs to Me. . .” Why are you fighting “that”?
God spoke to Elijah, in a way that was not normal, He came to him bringing peace, so that Elijah would realize that what was before, is no longer required, he has outlasted the threat by more than 40 days. . .
God asked him, “Why are you here?” We need to answer that question ourselves at times, “Why are you here?”
Christ Jesus has provided me Joy, that will remain steadfast, immovable, sustaining, present, strong, powerful, comforting, encouraging, hopeful, delivering. . .
Why are you seeing that, when I have shown you This?
