STOP REGARDING AFTER THE FLESH - Beyond The Common Series 002
II Corinthians 5:16, KJV
"Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more."
Stop regarding after the flesh. If you keep at that, you can't but miss who and what God has prepared for you that you need a little probing, patience and perception to uncover.
One of my prayers for you is that you'll have an anointed heart and eyes that sniffs into the divine side of things. Every human being has two sides or dimensions. The outward-physical and the divine-spiritual (who they are in their calling or in the spirit). Often, our physical senses can override our perception. You must know what the physical senses can and can't do. The physical senses: sight (vision), hearing (audition), smell (olfaction), taste (gustation) and touch (tactile sense) are the ways your body receives and processes information about the world (and itself) through specialized organs and nerves. Traditionally, we talk about those five but modern science recognizes that humans actually have more than five senses, because your body also detects other things like balance (equilibrioception) - sense of balance and movement, from the inner ear; body position (proprioception) - awareness of where your body parts are without looking; temperature (thermoception) - sensing heat and cold; pain (nociception) - sensing harmful stimuli (injury, extreme heat, etc.) and internal body signals (interoception) - awareness of hunger, thirst, heartbeat, breathing, need to urinate etc.
We can of course become so used to these senses that we neither have awareness of another sense - perception or grow it. However, familiarity of use can make us substitute the physical senses for antennas in discerning spiritual things. And spiritual things? They're spiritually discerned! God is therefore calling some of you to the adjusting of your lenses and perspectives on people and even views.The Bible has this to say about the chief of senses.
Mark 4:11-12, KJV
"11 And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables: 12 That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them."
You are not without but within - in the sheepfold. You're of Christ. You're born again (John 1:12). You've been translated into the kingdom of His dear son (Col.1:13). You've been sealed with the Holy Ghost (Eph.1:13). Therefore, you have a different status. In seeing, you will see and perceive; in hearing, you'll hear and understand! You'll understand what God is bringing your way. You'll grab what the preacher and messengers of Christ are reporting!
You'll perceive! Henceforth, I unblock your ears and debug you free of errors. Where you've become sloppy - spiritually deadened and deaf, I call forth a new life. I till your land into regeneration in the name of Jesus! Put God's Word in your mouth. Say, "in seeing I will see and in hearing I will hear - to understand."
When this happens to sinners or unbelievers, it doesn't matter how far gone they are. They will ask the preacher, "Brethren, what shall we do? (Acts 2:37)." They'll be cut deep to their hearts and seek repentance like it's air in their lungs. Repentance doesn't just come to sinners. They need revelation - a seeing beyond what appears and a hearing beyond what's audible from the speakers. That's what converted anyone. Until then, no one is turned. Until the veil is taken away, it'll be, "in seeing they will see and not perceive and in hearing they will hear and not understand" (Mark 4:12). Why? This verse has the answer.
I Corinthians 2:14, KJV
"But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
Holy Spirit, I let you loose. Invade lives today and turn them around. Give sinners the revelation of Christ Jesus, His death and resurrection and bring them into the fold. For anyone who'll understand and repent, forgiveness awaits him surely. Amen!
PRAYER: Lord, let me see beyond the veil of my physical senses and limitation. I have the third eye - seeing into what seethes below. We pray for sinners [mention names of those you know] and pray for their salvation.
