For we live (regulate our lives) by faith (convictional/absolute belief), not by sight what we see/appearance). 2 Corinthians 5:7
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen for what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthian 4:18

There is a way to receive from God. It is simple; you must learn to use your spiritual eyes. You have to hold on to what God says about you and not what the doctor says. Some people have mastered the principles of ignoring the negative in certain areas of their lives, now they have to apply it in other areas. I know people who were told that they would be a failure in life because their SAT’s and FCAT scores or whatever the academic placement test was, their score left no uncertainty about their future; but nowadays they are enjoying successful lives. How did they accomplish that? They use their Spiritual eye. They knew what the word of God says and chose not to believe their counselors or even their parents had to say concerning their future.
There are numerous people in the Bible who wouldn’t succeed if they didn’t master the art of using their Spiritual eye. Numbers 13:25-33 tells the Story of the men of Israel. Moses sent 12 of them to take a look at the Promised Land (promised by God) but they returned after 40 days with all kind of excuses (The men there were of great statues, they seemed strong, we wouldn’t be able to against them ect.) they saw the city with their physical eyes but glory to God! Our physical eyes are not final authority because they are not able to see everything. We know the end of that story. We know that God people inherited the land. Abraham was 100 years old when God promised to a child. If he looked at his body, I am sure he would have doubts but we also know that God kept His word and made him a great nation.
Friend, you are spiritual being (you are body, spirit and soul). You are a spirit in a body. In the inside of you is the spiritual you. You can communicate with God and see more than your physical eyes are showing you with your spiritual eye. You have 2 sets of eyes and one set is limited. You cannot let it dominate your life. The devil wants you running scared. He wants you to believe what your physical eyes see (bad doctor’s report, one failed relationship after another, negative bank statements, ect) He needs you to be distracted, paralyzed with fear because when you do, you lose. The word of God in James 4:7 urges to resist the devil and he will have no choice but to flee from us. You must learn to resist the devil and discipline your physical eyes to come to agreement with your spiritual eye. You can do that by keeping your eyes on God. You can do it. You can win. You can do all things through Christ (Philippians 4:13).
Praise the Lord!
