OMNISCIENCE

 The key Bible verse for this sermon is, "'Thou God seest me." Genesis 16:13. 

There are more eyes fixed on man than he knows of. He sees not as he has seen. He thinks himself obscure and unobserved. 

But let him remember that a cloud of witnesses hold him in full survey. 

Genesis 16:13 describes Hagar's encounter with the Lord, where she names Him "You are the God who sees me," acknowledging that she has seen the One who sees her. This verse highlights God's awareness and care for individuals, particularly in their struggles. Hagar recognized God as the one who sees and cares for her.

Ominiscience

THERE are more eyes fixed on man then he knows of. He sees not as he is seen. He thinks himself obscure and unobserved, but let him remember that a cloud of witnesses hold him in full survey. Wherever he is, at every instant, there are beings whose attention is riveted by his doings and whose gaze is constantly fixed by his actions. Within this Hall, I doubt not there are myriads of spirits unseen to us spirits good and spirits evil. Upon us tonight, the eyes of angels rest. Attentively those perfect spirits regard our order, they hear our songs, they observe our prayers. 

 It may be they fly to heaven to convey to their companions news of any sinners who are born of God, for there is joy in the presence ofthe angels of God over one sinner who repents. Millions of spiritual creatures walk this earth, both when we wake and when we sleep. Midnight is peopled with shadows unseen and daylight has its spirits too. The prince of the power of the air, attended by his squadron of evil spirits often, flits through the ether oft. Evil spirits watch our halting every instant, while good spirits, battling for the salvation of God's elect, keep us in all our ways and watch over our feet, lest at any time we dash them against a stone. Hosts of invisible beings attend on every one of us at different periods of our lives. We must remember, also, that not only do the spirits of angels, elect or fallen, look on us, but "the spirits of the just made perfect," continually observe our conversation. We are taught by the apostle that the noble army of martyrs and the glorious company of confessors are "witnesses" of our race to heaven, for he says,   "Seeing, then, that we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which doth so easily beset us." From yon blue heaven, the eyes of the glorified look down on us. There the children of God are sitting on their starry thrones observing whether we manfully uphold the banner around which they fought. They behold our valor or they detect our cowardice. And they are intent to witness our valiant deeds of noble daring or our ignominious retreat in the day of battle. 

Remember that, sons of men, you are not unregarded. You do not pass through this world in unseen obscurity. In darkest shades of night, eyes glare on you through the gloom. In the brightness of the day, angels are spectators of your labors. From heaven there look down upon you spirits who see all that finite beings are capable of beholding. But if we think that thought worth treasuring up, there is one which sums up that and drowns it, even as a drop is lost in the ocean. It is the thought, "Thou God seest me."It is nothing that angels see me, it is nothing that devils watch me, it is nought that the glorified spirits observe me, compared with the overwhelming truth that You God at all times see me. Let us dwell on that now and may God the Spirit make use of it to our spiritual profit! In the first place, I shall notice the general doctrine, that God observes all men. In the second place, I shall notice the particular doctrine, "Thou God seest me." And in the third place, I shall draw from it some practical and comforting inferences to different orders of persons now assembled, each of whom may learn something from this short sentence.

I. In the first place, THE GENERAL DOCTRINE, that God sees us. 

1. This may be easily proved, even from the nature of God. It were hard to suppose a God who could not see His own creatures. It were difficult in the extreme to imagine a divinity who could not behold the actions ofthe works of His hands. The word which the Greeks applied to God implied that He was a God who could see. They called him Theos. And they derived that word, if I read rightly, from the root Theisthai, to see, because they regarded God as being the all-seeing one, whose eye took in the whole universe at a glance, and whose knowledge extended far beyond that of mortals. God Almighty, from His very essence and nature, must be an Omniscient God.Strike out the thought that He sees me and you extinguish deity by a single stroke. There were no God if that God had no eyes, for a blind God were no God at all. We could not conceive such a one. Stupid as idolaters may be, it were very hard to think that even they had fashioned a blind god even they have given eyes to their gods,though they see not. 

Juggernaut has eyes stained with blood, and the gods ofthe ancient Romans had eyes, and some of them were called far-seeing gods. Even the heathen can scarce conceive of a god that has no eyes to see, and certainly we are not so mad as to imagine for a single second that there can be a deity without the knowledge of everything that is done by man beneath the sun. I say it were as impossible to conceive of a God who did not observe everything, as to conceive of a round square. When we say, "Thou God,"we do, in fact, comprise in the word "God" the idea of a God who sees everything, "Thou God seest me." 

2. Yet, further, we are sure that God must see us, for we are taught in the Scriptures that God is everywhere, and if God be everywhere, what does hinder Him from seeing all that is done in every part of His universe? God is here I do not simply live near Him, but"in him I live, and move, and have my being." There is not a particle ofthis mighty space which is not filled with God. Go forth into the pure air and there is not a particle ofit where God is not. In every portion of this earth whereon I tread, and the spot whereon I move, there is God.

"Within Thy circling power I stand; 

   On every side I find Thy hand: 

Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,

    I am surrounded still with God." 

Take the wings of the morning and fly beyond the most distant star, but God is there. God is not a being confined to one place, but He is everywhere. He is there, and there, and there.In the deepest mine man ever bored, in the unfathomable caverns ofthe ocean, in the heights, towering and lofty, in the gulfs that are deep,which fathom can never reach, God is everywhere. 

I know from His own words that He is a God who fills immensity. The heavens are not wide enough for Him. He grasps the sun with one hand and the moon with the other. He stretches Himself through the unnavigated ether, where the wing of seraph have never been flapped, there is God. And where the solemnity of silence has never been broken by the song of Cherub, there is God. God is everywhere. Conceive space, and God and space are equal. Well, then, if God is everywhere, how can I refrain from believing that God sees me wherever I am?

He does not look upon me from a distance, if He did, I might screen myself beneath the shades of night. But He is here, close by my side, and not by me only, but in me. 

Within this heart. Where these lungs beat. Or where my blood gushes through my veins.Or where this pulse is beating,like a muffled drum, my march to death, God is there. Within this mouth, in this tongue, in these eyes. In each of you, God dwells. He is within you and around you. He is beside you, and behind, and before. İs not such knowledge too wonderful for you? 

Is it not high and you cannot attain unto it? I say, how can you resist the doctrine, which comes upon you like a flash of lightning, that if God be everywhere, He must see everything, and therefore, it is a truth,"Thou God seest me." 

3. But lest any should suppose that God may be in a place and yet slumbering, let me remind him that in every spot to which he can travel, there is, not simply God, but also God's activity. Wherever I go, I shall find not a slumbering God, but a God busy about the affairs of this world. 

Take me to the green turf and pleasant pasture why, every little blade of grass there has God's hand in it, making it grow, and every tiny daisy, which a child likes to pluck, looks up with its little eye and says, "God is in me, circulating my sap and opening my little flower."Go where you will through this London, where vegetation is scarcely to be found. Look up yonder and see those rolling stars. God is active there, it is His hand that wheels along the stars and moves the moon in her nightly course. But ifthere be neither stars nor moon, there are those clouds, heavy with darkness like the carts of night, who steers them across the sea of azure? Does not the breath of God blowing upon them drive them along the heavens? 

God is everywhere, not as a slumbering God, but as an active God. I am upon the sea and there I see God making the everlasting pulse of nature beat in constant ebbs and flows. I am in the pathless desert, but above me screams the vulture and I see God winging the wild bird's flight. I am shut up in a hermitage, but an insect drops from its leaf, and I see in that insect, life which God preserves and sustains.

Yea, shut me out from the animate creation and put me on the barren rock, where moss itself cannot find a footing, and I shall there discern my God bearing up the pillars of the universe and sustaining that bare rock as a part of the colossal foundation whereon He has built the world. 

Where'er we turn our gazing eyes, 

    Thy radiant footsteps shine; 

Ten thousand pleasing wonders rise, 

     And speak their source divine. 

"The living tribes of countless forms, 

          In earth, and sea, and air, 

The meanest flies, the smallest worms, 

          Almighty power declare." 

You shall see God everywhere if you see Him not around you, look within you and is He not there? Is not your blood now flowing through every portion of your body, to and from your heart? And is not God there active? Do you not know that every pulse you beat needs a volition of deity as its permit. and yet more, it needs an exertion of divine power as its cause? Do you not know that every breath you breathe needs deity for its inspiration and expiration, and that you would die if God withdraw that power?

If we could look within us, there are mighty works going on in this mortal fabric the garment ofthe soul which would astonish you and make you see, indeed that God is not asleep, but that He is active and busy. 

There is a working God every-where, a God with His eyes open everywhere, a God with His hands at work everywhere,a God doing something, not a God slumbering, but a God laboring. 

Oh! sirs, does not the conviction flash upon your mind with a brightness, against which you cannot shut your eyes, that since God is everywhere, and every-where active, it follows, as a necessary and unavoidable consequence, that He must see us and know all our actions and our deeds? 

4. I have one more proof to offer which Ithink to be conclusive. God, we may be sure, sees us, when we remember that He can see a thing before it happens. If He beholds an event before it transpires, surely reason dictates, He must see a thing that is happening now. Read those ancient prophecies. Read what God said should be the end of Babylon and of Nineveh. Just turn to the chapter where you read of Edom's doom or where you are told that Tyre shall be desolate.

Then walk through the lands of the East, and see Nineveh and Babylon cast to the ground, the cities ruined. And then reply to this question,"Is not God a God of foreknowledge? Can He not see the things that are to come?" Ay, there is not a thing which shall transpire in the next cycle of a thousand years which is not already past to the infinite mind of God. There is not a deed which shall be transacted tomorrow, or the next day, or the next, through all eternity, if days can be eternal, but God knows it altogether. And if He knows the future, does He not know the present? 

If His eyes look through the dim haze which veils us from the things of futurity, can He not see that which is standing in the brightness of the present? If He can see a great distance, can He not see near at hand! Surely that Divine Being who discerned the end from the beginning, must know the things which occur now. And it must be true that, "Thou God seest us," even the whole of us, the entire race of man. So much for the general and universally acknowledged doctrine.

II. Now, I come, in the second place, to the SPECIAL DOCTRINE,"Thou God seest me."

Come now, there is a disadvantage in having so many hearers, as there is always in speaking to more than one at a time, because persons are apt to think, "He does not speak to me." Jesus Christ preached a very successful sermon once when he had but one hearer, because He had the woman sitting on the well, and she could not say that Christ was preaching to her neighbor. He said to her, "Go, call thy husband and come hither." There was something there which smote her heart. 

She could not evade the confession of her guilt. But in regard to our congregations, the old orator might soon see his prayer answered, "Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears," for when the Gospel is preached, we lend our ears to everybody. We are accustomed to hear for our neighbors and not for ourselves. Now, I have no objection to your lending anything else you like, but I have a strong objection to you lending your ears. I shall be glad if you will keep them at home for a minute or two, for I want to make you hear for yourselves this truth, "Thou God seest me."

God-Kind of Faith

 Biblically teachings reveal that there is a level of faith most believers have never been taught to recognize, and the enemy has worked tirelessly to keep it hidden. This message exposes why faith often feels weak or inconsistent, why prayer turns into hoping instead of knowing, and how a deeper understanding can shift you from struggling belief to unshakable spiritual authority.

Why Satan Doesn't Want You to Know About the God-Kind of Faith 

There is a kind of faith that terrifies the kingdom of darkness. A faith so potent, so absolute that when it's released, demons flee, mountains move, and the impossible bends its knee to the name of Jesus Christ. 

Yet, most believers have never been taught about it. They've been  given a counterfeit, a watered down substitute that keeps them begging, hoping, and wondering if God will come through. 

And the enemy wants to keep it that way because the moment you discover the God kind of faith, everything changes. 

What you're about to learn has been hidden in plain sight for centuries. It is woven throughout   scripture. Jesus Christ demonstrated it. The apostles walked in it. And let us under the illumination of the Holy Spirit pulled back the curtain on this revolutionary truth. 

This is not about trying harder to believe. This is not about working up enough emotion or sincerity. This is about understanding the very nature of the faith that created worlds. 

The faith that dwells in the heart of Almighty God and the faith that has been freely given to you as a born-again believer. 

Satan does not want you to know about the God kind of faith because once you understand it, his grip on your life is shattered. 

Once you operate in it, sickness has no authority. 

Poverty loses its hold. 

Fear becomes powerless and you step into the  fullness of what Jesus Christ purchased for you at Calvary. 

This is not religious theory. This is the foundation of new covenant living. 

And by the end of this message, you will see why the enemy has worked so hard to keep this truth from you. 

Let's start with a question that most believers have wrestled with at some point. Why do some people pray and see miracles while others pray with  equal sincerity and see nothing? 

Why does faith seem to work for some and not for others? The answer is not found in God's willingness. It is not found in how loud you pray or how long you fast. The answer is found in understanding what kind of faith you're operating in.Because not all faith is the same. 

And the faith that moves the hand of God is not human faith. It is not natural faith.  It is the God kind of faith. 

In Mark 11:22, Jesus Christ made a statement that most people read right over without grasping  its full weight. He said, "Have faith in God." But in the original Greek, that phrase is better translated, "Have the faith of God or have the God kind of faith." 

Jesus Christ wasn't telling His disciples to try harder to believe in God. He was revealing to them that there is a specific kind of faith, a divine faith that operates on a completely different level than human reasoning or natural belief. 

This is the faith that called the universe into existence. 

This is the faith that holds the stars in place. 

And this is the faith that has been imparted to every believer through the new birth. You understood this distinction with piercing clarity. 

 Faith is not a mental attitude. It is not hope. It is not an intellectual ascent to the Word. Faith is a divinely implanted, recreated human spirit confessing God's word.

Did you catch that? Faith, true biblical faith, is not something you manufacture in your mind. It's not something you work yourself up into feeling. It is divinely implanted. It is a product of the recreated spirit. When you were born again, the very nature of God's faith was deposited into your spirit. 

You didn't earn it. You didn't deserve it.  It was given to you as part of your spiritual DNA. 

This is why Satan fights so hard to keep believers ignorant of this truth. Because if you understand that the God kind of faith already resides within you, you stop begging and start declaring. 

You stop hoping and start knowing. 

You stop living as a beggar at the table and start  functioning as a son or daughter with full access to the Father's resources.

 And that shift in identity is what the enemy cannot tolerate. Let's go deeper into what the God kind of faith actually is. 

In Hebrews 11:1, we read, "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." 

Most people read that verse and think it's talking about wishful thinking or blind optimism. 

But that is not what it is saying at all. The word substance in the Greek is hypostasis, which means the underlying reality, the foundation, the actual tangible essence of something. 

Faith is not hoping something will happen. Faith is the actual substance, the spiritual reality that brings the unseen into the scene. 

 It is the bridge between the invisible realm of God's promises and the visible realm of your experience. This is how God himself operates. 

When God wanted light, he didn't pray for light. He didn't beg for light. He didn't hope light would show up. He spoke and light came into existence. 

Genesis 1:3 tells us, "And God said, let there be light."  And there was light. God's faith is creative. It's authoritative. It's declarative. 

And when God gave you the new birth, he didn't just forgive your sins and leave you the same. He recreated your spirit in His image and likeness. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 declares,   "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new.

 That new creation carries the same kind of faith that God used to speak worlds into being. But here's where most believers get tripped up. They try to operate God's faith with their natural mind. They try to figure it out intellectually. They try to feel it emotionally. And when they don't feel it or can't understand it, they conclude that they don't have faith. But the God kind of faith doesn't originate in the mind or the emotions. It originates in  the spirit. 

Romans 10:10 says, "For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness." 

 The word heart there is not referring to your emotions or your feelings. It's referring to your spirit, the recreated part of you that is in union with God. 

   The new creation is a faith creation. It was born of faith. It lives by faith. It's whole life and conduct are governed by  faith. You were born again by faith. You didn't see God. You didn't feel a physical transformation, but you believed the Word. You confessed Jesus Christ as Lord, and the Holy Spirit regenerated your spirit. 

That same faith that brought you into the kingdom is the faith that governs everything in the kingdom. 

Healing flows through faith. 

Provision flows through faith.

Deliverance flows through faith. 

Victory flows through faith. 

And it is not your human effort. It is the God kind of faith operating through your recreated spirit. 

 Now, let's address the elephant in the room. Why does Satan work so hard to hide this truth? 

Because fear is his primary weapon and faith is the antidote to fear. Fear is faith in reverse. 

It is believing the enemy's lies more than God's truth. 

It's expecting the worst instead of expecting God's promises to manifest. 

And the enemy knows that as long as he can keep you operating in fear, doubt, and unbelief, you'll never step into the fullness of your authority in Christ. 

But the moment you understand that the God kind of faith lives inside you, fear loses its grip. Suddenly, you're not moved by what you see. You're not moved by what you feel. 

You're moved by what God has said. 1 John 4:4  declares, "'Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." 

The Holy Spirit dwelling in you carries the same faith that raised Jesus from the dead. Romans 8:11 confirms it. But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his spirit that dwelleth in you. That's resurrection power. That's miracle working power. And it operates through faith, not your faith, His faith, the God kind of faith. 

So how do you activate this Good kind of faith? How do you move from intellectual knowledge to spiritual reality? 

The answer is found in one word, confession. 

Romans 10:17 says, "So then faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." 

But notice it does not say faith comes by reading the Word once or hearing it once. It says by hearing and hearing. 

That is continuous action. It is the constant exposure to and declaration of God's Word that builds divine faith in your spirit. And here's the key. 

Faith doesn't come by hearing what someone else says about the Word. Faith comes by hearing the Word itself. 

 "Faith is acting on the Word. It is taking God at His Word and acting as though it were." 

So this is where most believers miss it. They read the Word. They believe the Word intellectually, but they do not act on the Word. They do not speak the Word. They do not declare the Word over their circumstances. And without that action, faith remains dormant. James 21:17 tells us, "Even so,   faith, if it hath not works, is dead being alone." Faith without corresponding action is powerless. 

  It's like having a cheque in your hand, but never cashing it. The provision is there. The promise is real, but until you act on it, it remains potential instead of reality. 

  Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine standing at the edge of a canyon with a bridge stretching across to the other side. On the far side is everything God has promised you. Healing, provision, peace, joy, breakthrough. You can see it. You believe it exists, but you're standing still, hoping somehow you'll be transported across. That is not faith. 

  That is hope. Hope is good. Hope is important. But hope alone does not get you across a bridge. Faith is taking the first step onto that bridge, trusting that it will hold you, and walking across with confidence. Every step you take is a declaration that you believe the bridge is secure. That is how the God kind of faith operates. 

  It moves, it speaks, it acts. 

  Now let's talk about why this kind of faith is called the God kind of faith and not just faith. Because there are different kinds of faith mentioned in scripture. 

  There is natural faith, the kind everyone has to some degree. You exercise natural faith every time you sit in a chair without inspecting it first. You have faith that the chair will hold you. That is natural faith. 

  Then there is intellectual faith where you mentally agree with something without it affecting your actions. You might believe that God can heal, but you never actually expect healing for yourself. That is intellectual ascent, not biblical faith. 

But the God kind of faith is supernatural. It is the faith that operated before creation existed. It is the kind of faith that spoke and nothing became something. It is the kind of faith that defies logic, transcends circumstances, and produces results that only God can bring. 

Hebrews 11:3 says, "'Through faith, we understand that the worlds were framed by the Word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." 

God did not use pre-existing materials to create the universe. He spoke into the void, into nothingness, and His Word backed by His divine faith brought forth galaxies, planets,  oceans, and life. 

  That same creative faith has been given to you. When you speak the Word of God in faith, you're  not just reciting verses. You're releasing creative power into your situation. You're calling things that  are not as though they were, just like your heavenly Father does. 

Romans 4:17 describes Abraham's faith this way. God who quickenth the dead and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 

Abraham didn't deny his reality. He didn't pretend he wasn't old or that Sarah's womb wasn't barren, but he didn't let that reality dictate his expectation. 

He believed God's promise and spoke in alignment with it. And the God kind of faith activated through his confession and action produced Isaac, the child of promise. 

That's the same faith operating in you. 

You don't deny your circumstances, but you refuse to let your circumstances have the final word. 

God's Word has the final word. 

Here's another reason the enemy hides this truth. Because the God kind of faith operates independently of feelings. 

You don't have to feel powerful to be powerful. 

You don't have to feel healed to receive healing. 

You don't have to feel prosperous to walk in provision. 

The God kind of faith functions in the spirit realm, not the emotional realm. 

     And the moment you disconnect faith from feelings, you become unstoppable. The enemy can no longer manipulate you with  mood swings, bad news, or discouraging circumstances. You're anchored in the Word and the Word does not change based on how you feel. 

God kind of Faith is not moved by the senses. It is moved only by the Word of God. That statement is revolutionary. 

Your senses will tell you that you're still sick. They'II tell you that your bank account is still empty. They'lI tell you that nothing has changed. But the God kind of faith does not consult the senses. It consults the Word. 

And if the Word says by His stripes you were healed, then you're healed regardless of what your body is currently telling you. 

If the Word says, "My God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus," then your needs are met regardless of what your circumstances look like. This is living by faith, not by sight. This is walking in the supernatural instead of the natural. 

 Let's go even deeper. In Mark 11:23,  Jesus made one of the most staggering statements in all of scripture. He said,  "For verily I say unto you, that whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass, he shall have whatsoever he saith." Notice the emphasis. Three times Jesus mentions speaking. Once he mentions believing. This isn't a typo. 

 This isn't accidental. Jesus was teaching a spiritual law, the law of faith. What you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth will come to pass. That's how the God kind of faith operates. It speaks and things change. 

 It declares and mountains move. It commands and the impossible becomes possible. But here's the catch. You must not doubt in your heart. That doesn't mean you won't have thoughts of doubt. 

 Doubt will come. It will knock on the door of your mind. But you don't have to let it into your heart. You don't have to meditate on it. You don't have to agree with it. You cast it down. You speak against it. You replace it with the Word of God. 

2 Corinthians 10:5 tells us to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God and bring every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. You take authority over doubt the same way you take authority over sickness, fear, or any other attack of the enemy. 

"The confession of your lips that has grown out of faith in your heart will absolutely defeat the adversary in every combat." Your confession is your weapon. It's your sword. It's the means by which the God kind of faith is released into your situation. And this is precisely why Satan works overtime to get you to speak doubt, fear, and unbelief. Because your words are either building or destroying. They're either releasing faith or releasing fear. 

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Every word you speak is a seed,    and you will eat the harvest of those seeds, whether good or bad." Now, let's addressa common misconception. 

 Some people think the God kind of faith is reserved for super spiritual believers, for pastors or ministry leaders, or those whoʻve been Christians 18:08 for decades. That's a lie. The God kind of faith is the birthright of every bornagain believer. When you received Jesus as your Lord, you received everything that comes with the new birth. You received righteousness. You received the Holy Spirit. You received authority. And you received the God kind of faith. It's not something you have to earn. It's not something you have to qualify for. It's already yours. The only question is will you activate it? 

Galatians 2:20 says, " I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Did you catch that phrase? The faith of the son of God. Apostle Paul didn't say he lived by his own faith. He lived by the faith of Jesus. The same faith that sustained Jesus, that empowered him to do miracles, that raised him from the grave, is the faith that now operates in every believer. You're not trying to produce faith. You're learning to release the faith that's already in you. 

 Think of it like electricity. The power is already in the walls of your home. 

 It's present. It's available. But until you flip the switch, the lights don't come on. The God kind of faith is the power source. Your confession is the switch. Your obedience to the word is the connection. And when all three align, the power of God floods your situation and produces results. Healing manifests, provision shows up, deliverance takes place, not because you worked hard enough, but because you aligned yourself with the spiritual law of faith. And here's why this truth is so dar  kingdom of darkness.

here's why this truth is so dangerous to the kingdom of darkness. 

 Because it puts you in control of the outcome. Not control in the sense of manipulating God, but control in the sense of choosing to agree with his word instead of the enemy's lies. Satan can't stop you from believing God's word. He can't stop you from speaking God's word. 

 He can't stop you from acting on God's word. The only thing he can do is deceive you into thinking it won't work. 

 That you don't have the faith that God's promises are for someone else but not for you. And tragically, many believers fall for that deception. They live far below their inheritance because they don't understand the God kind of faith. 

 But not you. Not anymore. Because now you know. 

You know that the same faith that created the heavens and the earth  resides in your spirit. 

You know that your words carry creative power when they're aligned with God's Word. 

You know that fear is a lie, doubt is a tactic, and unbelief is a choice. 

And you know that you have the authority to choose faith instead. 

That is what Jesus Christ meant when he said in John 14:12, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also, and greater works than these shall he do, because I go unto my Father." 

You have access to the same power that Jesus Christ operated in, and it flows through the God kind of faith. 

So, what do you do with this revelation? 

How do you begin to walk in the God kind of faith today? 

¶First, start with your confession. 

Align your words with God's Word. 

Stop speaking doubt. 

Stop rehearsing the problem. 

Stop agreeing with the enemy's narrative. 

Instead, speak what God says. 

Declare healing. 

Declare provision. 

Declare victory. 

Not as something you hope might happen someday, but as something that is already yours in Christ.

 Because Ephesians 1:3 tells us that God hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. 

It is already done. Your job, here and now, is to receive it by faith and enforce it in the natural realm through your confession and your actions. 

¶Second,  immerse yourself in the Word. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. You can't operate in faith if  you do not know what God has said. You can't release the God kind of faith if you're not saturated in scripture. 

Make the Word your meditation. 

Make it your focus. 

Make it the lens through which you interpret every situation. 

And as you do, faith of God will rise in your spirit. 

 Not because you're trying to muster it up, but because the Word itself is alive and active, and it produces faith in those who receive it. 

¶Third, step out in obedience.  Faith without works is dead. Works here involve declaring, proclaiming and speaking out the Word of God. 

Stop waiting for all the details to be revealed. 

Stop waiting until you feel ready. 

Start moving. 

Start acting. 

Start doing what God has told you to do. and watch how the God kind of faith takes over and brings the provision, the wisdom, the strength, and the breakthrough you need. 

This is how Abraham operated. He didn't have a map. He didn't have a plan. He had a promise. 

And he stepped out in faith, one day at a time, trusting that God would guide him. And God did.

 This is the life you were called to. 

A life of faith, a life of power, a life of victory. 

Not because of who you are, but because of who lives in you. The One who is in you is greater than he in the world today. 

And Satan absolutely does not want you to walk in this reality. 

 Because a believer who understands the God kind of faith is a believer who cannot be stopped. 

They speak to mountains and mountains move. 

They command sickness to leave and bodies are healed. 

They declare provision and provision shows up. 

They enforce the victory of the cross of Christ and the enemy flees in terror. That's the normal Christian life. That's what Jesus Christ paid for and it's yours. 

But there's more. Because once you understand the God kind of faith, the next question becomes, what else has been hidden in plain sight? 

 What other truths have been buried under centuries of tradition and religious thinking? 

One of these truths is the very nature of eternal life itself. Most believers think eternal life is something that starts when they die. 

But what if that's not what scripture teaches? 

What if eternal life is something far more powerful, far more immediate, and far more transformative than you've ever been told? 

In the next message , we're going to uncover about biblical eternal life that will completely shift the way you see your identity in Christ.

The Shocking Truth About Eternal Life Most Christians Miss

Regardless of who you say you are, read on and know the truth. 

 Most believers think eternal life is something that begins when they die.

They view it as a future promise, a distant reward waiting on the other side of the grave. But what if everything you've been taught about eternal life is incomplete? 

What if eternal life is not just about duration, but about a quality of existence that was meant to transform you right now in this present moment? 

 What if the very nature of eternal life holds the key to overcoming every struggle, every fear, and every limitation you face today? 

The truth about eternal life has been hidden in plain sight for centuries. It's been reduced to a ticket to heaven, a fire insurance policy, when in reality, it's the most powerful, most transformative force available to the believer / unbeliever / make- believer. 

And once you understand what eternal life truly is, once you grasp its nature and how it functions, everything changes. 

Your identity shifts, your authority expands, and the life you've been trying so hard to live in your own strength suddenly becomes effortless because you're operating in the very life of God Himself.

 This is not theological abstraction. 

This is not religious philosophy. 

This is the foundation of everything Jesus Christ came to give you. 

And the enemy has worked tirelessly to keep this truth from you. Because the moment you understand eternal life, you become unstoppable. 

You stop living as a struggling human trying to please God and start living as a child of God carrying His very nature. 

This is what a person discovered under the illumination of the Holy Spirit and it revolutionized one's understanding of the Christian life. 

   Today you're going to see what he saw and it will change everything. Let us start by addressing the most common misunderstanding about eternal life. When most people hear the phrase eternal life, they immediately think of time. They think eternal life means living forever. And while that's partially true, it's woefully incomplete. 

Eternal life is not primarily about quantity of time. It is about quality of existence. 

It is not just endless years.  It is a specific kind of life, a divine life, the very life that flows through the heart of God himself. 

 And that life has been imparted to you the moment you were born again. 

In John 17:3, Jesus prayed to the Father and said, "And this  is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent." 

Notice what Jesus defined as eternal life. 

It's not a place you go to. It's not a state you enter after death. 

Eternal life is knowing God. It is intimate experiential knowledge of the Father and the Son. Its union with God. Its participation in the divine nature. 

   And this knowing, this union, this participation begins the moment you acknowledge and receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. 

It does not start when you die. It starts now.  Here. You can understand this with stunning clarity. 

Eternal life is the nature of God. It is what God is. When we receive  eternal life, we receive the nature and substance of deity." That statement should shake you to your core. When you were born again, you didn't just receive forgiveness of sins. You didn't just get your name written in a book. You received the very nature of God. You became a partaker of the divine nature. 

As second Peter 1:4 declares, "The same life that sustains the father, the same life that raised Jesus from the dead, the same life that created the universe is now dwelling in your spirit." That's not religion. That's reality. But here's where most believers get stuck. They know they have eternal life in some vague theoretical sense, but they do not know what to do with it. They do not understand how it functions. They don't realize that eternal life is meant to dominate their present experience, not just secure their future destination. 

 And because of this ignorance, they live far below their inheritance. They struggle with sickness, poverty, fear, and defeat, never realizing that the very solution to every problem is already inside them in the form of eternal life. 

  Let's dig deeper into what eternal life actually is. The Greek word translated eternal in the New Testament is ionios which means age-abiding or everlasting. But it's not just about duration. It's about origin. Eternal life is the life of the eternal age. The life of the age to come. The life of God's kingdom. It is not subject to death, decay, or corruption. It does not wear out. It does not diminish. It does not fail. It is self- sustaining, self-perpetuating, and victorious over every opposing force. And this life, this indestructible, incorruptible,  victorious life has been placed inside your recreated human spirit. 

First John 5: verses 11 to 12 says, "And this is the record that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He that hath the Son , hath life. And he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. 

Notice the present tense. God has given us eternal life, not will give, has given. 

 If you have the Son, you have the life right now. Not someday, not in heaven. Right now. The life of God is in you. 

The question is not whether you have it. 

 The question is whether you're living out of it. The new birth is the impartation of the nature of God to the human spirit. 

When you were born again, your spirit was recreated. It was made alive with the  life of God. It was infused with the nature of God. You became a new creation, not just a forgiven sinner. 

2 Corinthians 5:17 declares, "Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature. Old things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new." 

That new creature is not a reformed version of your old self. It's a brand new spiritual being  created in righteousness and true holiness, indwelt by the Holy Spirit, and animated by eternal life.

  Now, here's the shocking part that most Christians miss. Eternal life does not just secure your future in heaven. Eternal life is meant to govern your present circumstances on earth. 

  The life of God inside you is greater than any sickness in your body. It's greater than any lack in your finances. It's greater than any fear in your mind. It's greater than any attack of the enemy. 

 Romans 8:2 says, "For the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus, hath made me free from the law of sin and death." The spirit of life, eternal life, operates as a law, a governing force that overrides the law of sin and death. That means sickness, poverty,  fear, and bondage have no legal right to dominate you because the law of life is stronger than the law of death. But you have to know this. You have to believe this. And you have to act on this because eternal life does not force itself on your circumstances. 

 It flows through faith. It's released through your confession. It's activated by your obedience to the Word of God. 

 This is why so many believers live defeated lives. Even though they have eternal life dwelling in them, they've never learned how to tap into it. 

They've never learned how to release it. 

They've only treated it as a ticket to heaven instead of a weapon for earth. 

Let's talk about what eternal life does in the believer who understands it. 

1. ¶First, eternal life produces righteousness consciousness. When you understand that the very nature of God is in you, you stop seeing yourself as a sinner saved by grace and start seeing yourself as a righteous child of God. Not self-righteousness,  only God righteousness, the righteousness that comes through faith in Jesus Christ. 

Romans 5:17 says, "For if by one man's offense, death reigned by one, much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ." 

That is your faith in reality, here and now. 

You're not just forgiven, you're made righteous.

And that righteousness is part of the eternal life package.

"Righteousness is the nature of God. When eternal life comes into us, righteousness comes with it." 

Think about that. 

You do not have to work to become righteous. You already are righteous because the life of God, which is inherently righteous, is your life. 

This truth alone will revolutionize the way you approach God. 

You'lI stop coming to HIM as a beggar, hoping He will tolerate you. You'll start coming to HIM as His son or daughter, confident in your standing, bold in your access, and expectant of His favor. 

2. ¶Second, eternal life produces divine health. 

This is one of the most neglected aspects of eternal life. 

The life of God is a healing life. It is a life that resists sickness, disease, and infirmity. 

Romans 8:11 says, "But if the Spirit of HIM that raised up Jesus Christ from the dead dwell in you, HE that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwelleth in you." The word quicken means to make alive, to energize, to vitalize. 

 The same Spirit that raised Jesus Christ from the dead lives in you. And His job is to bring Life to your physical body. 

That is not a future promise. 

That is a present reality. 

When you're sick, the problem is not that God is withholding healing. 

The problem is that you're not tapping into the Life that is already inside you. 

Eternal life is flowing through your spirit, but it is not flowing into your body because you haven't released it through faith. You haven't spoken to that sickness. You haven't commanded it to leave. You haven't declared the Word of God over your body. And so the sickness remains, not because it is God's  will, but because you haven't enforced the victory that eternal life has already provided. 

3. ¶Third, eternal life produces victory over sin. One of the greatest struggles for believers is dealing with habitual sin, recurring temptation, and patterns of defeat. 

But eternal life changes everything. 1 John 3:9 says, "Whosoever is born of God do not commit sin, for his seed remainth in him, and he cannot sin because he is born of God." 

🗣️ Speak, "I am born of God, I do not commit sin, for God's seed remains in me, and I cannot sin because I am born of God."

Now, this does not mean believers are sinless. It means that the new creation, the spirit man, cannot sin because it is been recreated in the image of God. 

Your spirit is not struggling with sin. Your spirit is holy, righteous, and pure because it's been infused with eternal life. 

The struggle happens in your soul, your mind, and your body. 

But as you renew your mind to the truth of who you are in Christ, as you feed your spirit on the Word of God,  and as you walk in the spirit, the eternal life in your spirit begins to dominate your soul and body. You start walking in victory not because you're trying harder but because the life of God is taking over. 

 "The believer who knows the reality of the new creation will not be a slave to sin." 

That is the power of understanding eternal life. 

4. ¶Fourth, eternal life produces authority over the enemy. 

Satan has no power over eternal life. He has no answer for it. He can't touch it. He can't corrupt it. He can't defeat it. 

And when you understand that eternal life is your life, you realize that the enemy has no power over you either. 1 John 4:4 says,"Greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. 

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

The eternal life dwelling in you is greater than any demonic force, any attack, any strategy of the enemy. 

You don't have to beg God to protect you. You have authority to resist the devil and he will flee from you as James 4:7  promises. Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

James 4:7 instructs believers to submit to God and resist the devil, promising that he will flee from them. This verse emphasizes the importance of humility and standing firm against temptation.

But again, this authority does not operate automatically. It operates through faith. 

It operates through your confession. 🗣️ 

It operates through your understanding of who you are in Christ. 

  When you know that eternal life is in you, when you know that you carry the very nature of God,   when you know that you've been raised up with Christ and seated with HIM in heavenly places, you stop living in fear. 

You stop living defensively. 

You start enforcing the victory that Jesus Christ won. 

You start commanding demons to leave. 

You start breaking bondages. 

You start walking in the authority that eternal life provides. 

Now let's address why this truth has been so hidden. Why have so few believers understood the true nature of eternal life? 

The answer is simple. Because if believers understood it, they would be unstoppable. 

They would walk in such power, such authority, such confidence that the kingdom of darkness would suffer massive losses. And so the enemy has worked overtime to keep this truth buried under layers of religious tradition, theological confusion, and passive Christianity. 

The devil has convinced believers that eternal life is just about going to heaven someday. And in doing so, he's robbed them of the power they were meant to walk in today. 

You understand this. 

"The tragedy of the modern church is that it does not know what it has in Christ. Believers are sitting on a gold mine of spiritual resources. Eternal life being the most powerful of them all. And they don't even know it's there. They're living like paupers when they're actually heirs of God and joint heir with Christ. And all it takes is a revelation of the truth to change everything. 

So what do you do with this knowledge? 

How do you begin to walk in the reality of eternal   life? 

¶First, you renew your mind to the truth of who you are. Stop seeing yourself as just a human being who happens to be saved. Start seeing yourself as a new creation, a child of God, a carrier of the divine nature. 

Meditate on scriptures like 2 Peter 1:4, which says you're a partaker of the divine nature. 

 🗣️: I am partaker of the divine nature of my Father in heaven, here and now. 

Meditate on John 1:12, which says, "You have the power to become the sons of God." 

🗣️: I have the power to become the son of God .

🗣️: I have the power to become the daughter of God. 

Let these truths sink into your spirit until they dominate your thinking. 

¶Second, start speaking in agreement with eternal life. 

Your spoken words are powerful. 

Proverbs 18:21 says, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue. "

When you speak 🗣️ in agreement with eternal life, you release it into your circumstances. 

Declare that the life of God is in you.

🗣️: The Life of GOD is in me. 

 Declare that sickness has no place in your body. 

🗣️: Sickness has no power in my body. 

 Declare that fear has no hold on your mind.

🗣️: Fear has no hold on my mind.

 Declare that poverty has no authority over your finances. 

🗣️: Poverty has no authority over my finances.

Speak the Word of God over your life. 🗣️: I speak the Word of Gid over my life now. 

And watch how eternal life begins to manifest in tangible ways. 

¶Third, walk in obedience to the Word. Eternal life flows through faith. And faith without works is dead. 

 When the Word tells you to do something, do it. When the Holy Spirit prompts you to step out in boldness, step out. 

Do not let fear, doubt, or unbelief hold you back. 

The more you act on the Word, the more you'"ll experience the reality of eternal life in your daily walk. 

And as you do, you'll start to see miracles,  breakthroughs, and victories that you never thought possible. 

Let me paint a picture for you. Imagine a river flowing with pure crystal clear water. That river represents eternal life. It is constantly flowing, constantly moving, constantly bringing life to everything it touches. Now imagine a dam blocking that river, preventing the water from flowing. That dam represents unbelief, ignorance, and passivity. The river , eternal life,  is still there. The water is still flowing, but it is not reaching the land that needs it. 

The moment you remove the dam, the moment you release faith and start acting on the Word, that river floods your life. 

 Healing flows, provision flows, peace flows, victory flows. Not because you earned it, but because you released what was already there. 

This is the shocking truth about eternal life. 

It is not a future hope. 

It is a present reality. 

It is not a vague concept. 

It is a tangible force. 

It is not something you're trying to get. 

It is something you already have. 

And the moment you understand that, the moment you believe that, the moment you act on that, everything in your life begins to shift. 

You stop striving and start resting. 

You stop begging and start declaring. 

You stop surviving and start thriving. 

Because eternal life is not just about living forever. It is about living victoriously, powerfully, and abundantly right now. Said it.  

🗣️ We have eternal life now. 

Eternal life is not something we are going to get when we die, sleep in Christ . 

Eternal life is a present possession and Eternal life is the mightiest force in the universe. 

That power is in you. That power is yours. That victory is assured. 

All you have to do is believe it, confess it, and walk in it. And when you do, you'll discover that the Christian life, here and now,  is not a burden.

 It is not a struggle. It is a glorious adventure of walking in the very life of God, with God, in God's Word. But there's more. 

Because once you understand the nature of eternal life, the next question becomes, how do you stand when everything around you is falling apart? 

How do you remain unshaken when the storms of life rage? 

How do you maintain your victory when the enemy launches his most intense attacks? 

The answer lies in understanding a principle that most Christians have never been taught. 

It is a principle that Jesus Christ himself spoke about. A principle that apostle Paul reinforced and a principle that will determine whether you stand or fall in the battles ahead. 

In the next message, we're going to uncover this crucial truth. It's a truth that will equip you to face any trial, any attack, any circumstance with unwavering confidence. Do not miss it because what you're about to learn next will be the difference between victory and defeat in the days to come. Live like it. So be it.
