It Takes Spiritual Training….

How many people ever take the time to see, I mean really see? Spiritually speaking, there are unseen spirits out there waging war for our souls. You don’t believe me? If a man (who doesn’t even know Jesus) walks into a synagogue, and starts speaking to Jesus about interfering with his business, there’s got to be more out there than we lackadaisically see. If you read scripture you see many instances of angel interaction, demon possession, and even a talking donkey. There is way more going on out there than we can see just with our eyes. It takes spiritual training of the heart, that open up our ability to see spiritually. Look at Elisha and his servant (2 Kings 6). Elisha saw the angel army surrounding the army of the king of Aram, but his servant didn’t. It wasn’t until Elisha prayed for God to open his servant’s eyes spiritually that he witnessed the angels outnumbering the enemy. And so it is with us. Ask God today to give you spiritual sight. There’s a whole other world out there waiting to be seen. And it will build your faith, giving you one more reason to praise our Maker.

31 Then Jesus went to Capernaum, a town in Galilee, and taught there in the synagogue every Sabbath day. 32 There, too, the people were amazed at His teaching, for He spoke with authority.33 Once when He was in the synagogue, a man possessed by a demon–an evil spirit–began shouting at Jesus, 34 “Go away! Why are You interfering with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are–the Holy One sent from God!”35 Jesus cut him short. “Be quiet! Come out of the man,” He ordered. At that, the demon threw the man to the floor as the crowd watched; then it came out of him without hurting him further.36 Amazed, the people exclaimed, “What authority and power this man’s words possess! Even evil spirits obey Him, and they flee at His command!” 37 The news about Jesus spread through every village in the entire region. Luke 4:31-37
