It’s a Faith Thing: Living Beyond the Senses


Faith Is Now: Walk By It

(2 Corinthians 5:7)

"For we live by faith, not by sight."


    Today, I asked people to rate their faith on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest. The responses varied—some rated themselves at a 5, while others felt they were at a 10. Faith is something we can reflect on and evaluate to better understand where we are in our spiritual journey and walk with God.

    So today, I invite you to examine your faith. Where are you with your faith in God? How strong is your hope in Him? How deep is your trust? How consistent is your dependence on God? Are you leaning on Him and trusting in His truth?

Illuminated path symbolizing faith walk step-by-step
    Faith is about making divine transactions. In the heavenly realm, your good is already done. Faith is the ability to move that good from the spiritual realm into the physical one. As the Scripture says, “The just shall live by faith,” and “The steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord.” Faith is not static—it’s dynamic. It’s a journey. That’s why we call it a walk. We walk by faith, not by sight. Faith is movement. Faith is momentum.

    Picture a path ahead of you. Faith is your journey along that path. I know I’m going somewhere—and with every step I take, God steps ahead with me. You are never alone. Faith is knowing that God is always with you, every step of the way. “Your Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.” I am praying
today that you hear something that causes your faith to grow and unfold. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”

    It’s a faith thing. So, where are you on your faith walk? Where are you on your faith journey? Let’s make it personal. Let’s move beyond philosophies and ideas. Where are you in your faith today?

    Faith is always now. If it’s in the future, it’s not faith. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Faith is rooted in the present moment. If you’re stuck in the past, you may feel depression. If you’re obsessed with the future, you may feel anxiety. The solution is the present moment.

    Breathe. Inhale. Exhale. Center yourself. In this present moment, there is peace. In this present moment, there is trust. In this present moment, faith lives. Faith is always now.

    Love is eternal. Hope is for the future. But faith is for now. Faith is very present. “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Faith is now. Faith is God. God has given everyone a measure of faith. You live by faith daily—whether you’re standing on concrete, trusting it will hold you, or driving your car, trusting it will get you home.

A shining pathway leading into a radiant horizon, where each step brightens the path forward in faith.
    Faith is a gift from God. You can’t create it on your own. It’s a fruit of the Spirit—just like love, joy, peace, gentleness, goodness, self-control, meekness, and patience. Faith is divine evidence. “The one who comes to God must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who diligently seek Him.”

    Without faith, it is impossible to please God—because God is faith. Faith comes from God. Faith is God. The Bible says that Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness. “The just shall live by their faith.” I am just, and so I live by my faith—not by my senses. Sight represents the senses. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” That means we live beyond what our eyes can see, what our nose can smell, what our mouth can taste, what our ears can hear, or what our hands can touch.

    Faith moves us beyond our senses and into the spiritual realm.

    You can believe in anything—positive or negative, good or evil, light or darkness. But faith is always good. God says, “I know the plans I have for you... plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.”

    Faith is your power to bring heaven to earth. It’s your ability to manifest what’s already done in the invisible. “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Faith is your transaction tool to bring your good from the spiritual realm into the physical one.


(2 Corinthians 5:7)

Faith is always NOW!
Faith is always GOD!
Faith is always GOOD!

Reflection Question:
 On a scale from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest), how would you rate your faith today?

Universe Means One Thing: Love

  Universe Means One Thing: Love "For all the law is fulfilled in this one word, love: Love your neighbor as yourself."   Galatians 5:14 (KSB)    Sometimes, the word “universe” can feel mysterious even spooky to some. Others think it's irreverent or sacrilegious when used in spiritual conversations. But what if we redefined it? What if “universe” simply meant love? What if it meant God, since God is love?  When we say, “the universe,” we can think of it as pointing to one word love. Just one word. The entire Bible, composed of 66 books and written by over 40 different authors, ultimately speaks to one central theme: love. From beginning to end, this divine book points us toward loving God, loving ourselves, and loving others.  In the Old Testament, God's people had 636 laws civil, ceremonial, and moral. They guided everything from relationships to religious festivals. But then Jesus came and said, “Let me make this simple Love God. Love yourself. L...

Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement

  Refocus Your Faith: How to Overcome Distraction, Disappointment, and Discouragement "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love."   Galatians 5:6 (KSB)    With everything going on around us, it's easy to feel lost. Distractions come quickly, disappointments pile up, and discouragement sneaks in. We all face these moments. But even when we get off track, there is a way back and that path is through our faith, principles, and core values.  When you live your life anchored in principles, it gives you a compass for when the road gets unclear. Knowing your vision, your mission, and your core values makes it easier to realign when life feels out of control. But if you don’t know who you are, how can you get back to being your best self? If you don’t know what you stand on, what can you stand up on after a fall?    Clarity of purpose keeps you ...

Hidden Treasure: You Are a Vessel, Not Just an Instrument

I AM Not an Instrument. I AM a Vessel “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” – 2 Corinthians 4:7 (KSB) Hidden in Plain Sight The image that Paul presents in 2 Corinthians 4 is that of a treasure hidden within an earthen vessel. In the Old Testament, people didn’t have locks, alarm systems, or cameras to protect their valuables. Instead, their belongings were often left exposed, making them vulnerable to thieves and robbers. To safeguard their most valuable treasures, they would hide them in jars of clay—earthen vessels—placing them in plain sight. A thief or robber would never think to look there because it wasn’t an obvious hiding place. Likewise, God has placed something valuable inside of you—a treasure of great worth. Yet, people often fail to see it. You may be right in front of them, but they don’t recognize your gifts, skills, talents, anointing, abilities, or sensitivities. You are hidden in plain sight bec...
