Stop looking out, check the inside

- BY HUMPHREY MTANDWA

YOUR physical eyes are windows through which your spirit man looks out. The challenge is that a lot of people spend most of their time looking out and not focusing inwardly. Your true image is not what you can see with your physical eyes, but the self that looks like God. This person should not depend on his physical eye sight, but should depend more on his inward senses. I have read stories of men who were saved from pending disaster because they relied on their inward sense. When you depend on your spiritual eyes or the eyes of your spirit, the things you can see are limitless. The Bible tells us a story about how Prophet Elisha advised Israel on pending attacks as the other kings relied on spies among their counsel.

The Bible says the things we can see are temporary, but the things we cannot see are eternal (2 Corinthian­s 4:18). As man we have focused so much on what we can see that we have been blinded to the things that are eternal. This inward vision allows man to dream and through those dreams we have seen man take what’s in the spirit or what’s internal and make it into something temporary. If a man stops seeing in the spirit, he stops being creative .

There are technologi­es that want to stop men from tapping into this amazing sight and these technologi­es create for you what to focus on and stop you from having vision. You get a focus that is limited to man’s way of thinking which will cloud your ability to see eternal things.

Many have said the days of internet are over, and its true internet as we know it is about to change. But at what cost? Man is already distracted by the things in the natural so imagine if what you see can be generated to resemble a life you desire. It stops you from being able to focus using your spiritual eyes. Remember anything you can see is temporary. But those things you see were taken from the spirit and they started in the spirit and where made into so many things we see naturally and even the medium you are reading this article from. The idea in itself is eternal, but the format or shape it takes in the natural is not. Virtual reality creates a world that is close to this spiritual dimension, but the challenge with that world is that it cannot be translated into the physical. Some will be addicted to these virtual worlds, but the addiction does not bear any fruits.

What is not seen is eternal. God has created ways to translate what we see in the spirit into the natural. We welcome new technologi­es but let’s not been too focused on what we see with the natural eye, but let’s push into a place were sight is limitless and can be translated to man’s benefit. Virtual reality has the potential to blind man from seeing and even as the church, if we adopt the technology, we have to use it in a way to push man to be more dependant on their spiritual senses than they would on the physical senses. Those that have mastered the spirit are masters of life, even virtual reality started of as an idea in the spirit and was translated from the spirit by someone. Our physical eyes see but they are just windows we see through. Stop looking out the windows and focus inwardly, that’s where the answers are!

God bless you.
