A man blind from birth discovered first hand the reality of the miracle-working power of Jesus. When his neighbors asked how this miracle came about, he said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

Then said they unto him, Where is he?

He said, I know not.

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see (John 9:11-15). It took faith for the blind man to receive his miracle, and it will take faith to believe and receive the reality of what God is going to do in this final hour, for what He is already doing—not human faith; divine faith.

Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them (John 9:16). Notice how quickly the Pharisees denied the power of God. They didn’t even investigate it. The miracle was there for everyone to see, but people thought their opinions were reality, not the works of God. It doesn’t matter what you or I think; what God does is real.

They say unto the blind man again, What sayest thou of him, that he hath opened thine eyes? He said, He is a prophet. But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight (John 9:17,18).

People are deceived when they don’t have faith in God. Without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him (Hebrews 11:6). The Pharisees didn’t please God. Jesus called them hypocrites, snakes. They were a class of people the Lord didn’t like; He loved their souls, but He didn’t like them, and He let them know it. They were trying to justify their doubts, trying to prove that the miracle was not real.

And they asked them [his parents], saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see? His parents answered them and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind: But by what means he now seeth, we know not; or who hath opened his eyes, we know not: he is of age; ask him: he shall speak for himself. These words spake his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man did confess that he was Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue. Therefore said his parents, He is of age; ask him (John 9:19-23). Fear can make people compromise with the truth. The parents should have been so jubilant over their son’s miracle that they wouldn’t have cared if they were cast out of the synagogue. Their son didn’t care; he rejoiced in his miracle. Had his parents really loved their son more than they loved the opinions of man, they would have been delighted that he could see.

Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner (John 9:24). The Pharisees didn’t want to believe in Jesus Christ; they didn’t want the man who Jesus had healed to put any faith in the one who gave him the miracle. See how the devil works? He works in every way he can to instill doubt, to rob people of the reality of the greatness of God.

But the man Jesus healed answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see (John 9:25). When you get a miracle, you know it’s real regardless of how many doubters say it isn’t.

Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples? Then they reviled him, and said, Thou art his disciple; but we are Moses’ disciples. We know that God spake unto Moses: as for this fellow, we know not from whence he is (John 9:26-29). This was not God-faith talk; it was just human talk that didn’t even come from the heart. The hypocrites counted themselves to be disciples of Moses, but had Moses known them, he certainly wouldn’t have claimed them as his disciples. It takes God’s faith to believe in the reality of His miracles; only divine faith can stretch that far.

The man answered and said unto them, Why herein is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from whence he is, and yet he hath opened mine eyes. Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth (John 9:30,31). The man Jesus healed was honest-hearted; he was saying, God doesn’t perform miracles through sinners, or he’d be performing miracles through you hypocrites. I haven’t witnessed one miracle you’ve performed. You’ve seen me all these years and you certainly didn’t give me any help.

The man continued: Since the world began was it not heard that any man opened the eyes of one that was born blind. If this man were not of God, he could do nothing (John 9:32,33). No wonder Jesus healed him, took time to give him eyesight: He had divine faith! Although the man didn’t know who Jesus was, he knew He was from God. He put the Pharisees in their place—but it didn’t do any good, they learned nothing from it.

They answered and said unto him, Thou wast altogether born in sins, and dost thou teach us? And they cast him out (John 9:34). The hypocrites made it sound as though they had been born in righteousness and holiness, but their heads and hearts were empty.

Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee. And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him (John 9:35-38). If you know the reality of the miracle-working Jesus, it’s simple to release your faith when you do it the right way. Faith must be released the biblical way, the way of perfect trust.

And Jesus said, For judgment I am come into this world, that they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind (John 9:39). The Pharisees had their chance to see spiritually, but by rejecting the greatness of God they remained spiritually blind.

Many people, who once could see, are blind today because they have rejected God’s miracles. They passed off God’s miracles into the hands of the devil as if he had done them.

And some of the Pharisees which were with him heard these words, and said unto him, Are we blind also? Jesus said unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth (John 9:40,41).

Trigger Faith

Study these scriptures carefully; they will help “set off” your faith. Act out your faith, or it won’t do you any good. Faith is like money: Use it to get what you need. Christians have wasted time bragging about how much faith they have, but they limp around poor and needy in spirit. It doesn’t matter how much faith you have; it’s how much you use, how much you put into action, how much you know is real. The Lord said, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you (Matthew 17:20). If you’re not getting any mountains out of the way, you either have little faith or else you’re not using the faith you do have.

Do you want your personal mountains to be moved? You will need more than a little shovel to move them. Don’t be closed in by mountains of sickness, fretting, despair, depression and oppression; be closed in with the Lord; depend on Him for the miracles you need. The Lord is not the one who brings despair and oppression; He’s been trying for a long time to dig you out, to rescue you. He throws you ropes of love, faith, strength and compassion: Take hold of them! Let the Lord use your eyes so you will be able to see the reality of what He has for you; let Him use your ears so you can hear what the Spirit is saying. The Word of God is the trigger, the power that puts your faith into action, joins it to God’s faith. Thank God, we know His miracles are real!

The faith of this man whom Jesus healed of blindness was received through God. He recognized the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, recognized God in such a great way that he must have had knowledge of Isaiah the prophet who told of a Redeemer to come.

Although the man Jesus healed had been blind physically and overlooked by many, God noticed him; God cared. To every heart that reaches for the reality of God, He stretches out His hands in a great way. The love of God is wonderful indeed!

One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. One thing I know…Acknowledge the fact that God will move for you. If you complain that you don’t have faith, then you’re blind to what God has done and will do; you’re blind because faith is a gift from God; it’s real! God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3).

It would be impossible for you to be a child of God and not to have divine faith; for no one can get to Calvary without divine faith—and it takes divine love to use divine faith. The Lord gave us the love of His whole heart when He gave us Jesus; and through that love, we can learn to use divine faith.

The just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). The just, thank God, know that His promises are real! The just will live by faith, walk by faith, live in the Spirit and walk in the steps of Jesus. We’re not putting ourselves beside Jesus; He put us beside Himself. Lifting us up out of sin, He’s made us to sit with Him in heavenly places.

Everything Jesus used, everything He taught is all ours. Take advantage of the things God has made available while you are here on Earth because you won’t need them when you get to Heaven. The Bible is an Earth book for Earth people. God can tell you face-to-face what He wants you to know in Heaven; but while you’re still here on Earth, the Bible is your road map, the most valuable book in the whole world.

Physical and Spiritual Senses

Let’s think about the five physical senses for a moment: sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing. Now consider the reality of the spiritual senses: sight, touch, taste, smell, hearing, that all work through the sixth sense, faith. Many people pray only through the five physical senses and then wonder why their prayers are not answered. You must take on the six spiritual senses to reach God in prayer. The five physical senses, if they are sanctified and holy, will blend in with the spiritual senses; but if the physical senses are not sanctified and holy, contamination will go forth in your prayers. God will not listen to that which is not holy. The five physical senses must be delivered, set free and kept free before they will blend with the six spiritual senses.

When you don’t pray through the spiritual senses, your words seem to bounce back like a rubber ball. Some people entertain themselves with God the way I entertained myself bouncing a ball against a wall when I was a child. They go in before God using the five physical senses, but they don’t get into the realm, the spiritual ground, where God hears. Their words just bounce back to them. Any weaknesses in the physical senses will hinder the answer to your prayers, but there is no conflict if the five physical senses are made holy so they blend with the spiritual senses.

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature (II Corinthians 5:17). The five physical senses are made new when you are born again.

Jesus Used the Spiritual Senses

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry (Psalm 34:15). The Lord said His ears were open to the cry of the righteous. Why does He hear the cry of the righteous? Because they have the spiritual senses.

Jesus, using the spiritual senses, came to buy back everything man had lost in Eden. The five senses were contaminated when man fell, contaminated with sin, disobedience, unrighteousness and unholiness. Man had lost his spiritual sight, spiritual hearing, spiritual touch, spiritual smell and spiritual taste; he’d lost it all, and all had to be bought back.

Because Jesus prayed in the spiritual senses, He could say, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always (John 11:41,42). Now the Bride is saying, Father, you always hear me. In direct contact with the Lord, the Bride will pray as the Only Begotten prayed. Believers have taken Jesus’ place. Jesus said, 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 (John 14:12).

As very man, Jesus demonstrated that every one of us must receive the Holy Ghost baptism to have this power from On High in order to do these greater works. John saw the Holy Ghost descend upon Jesus in the form of a dove, And John bare record, saying, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it abode upon him (John 1:32). If you’re going to use the six spiritual senses, you must be full of the same Holy Ghost that our Master had. To be full of the Holy Ghost is to be full of love, full of faith. To be full of the Holy Ghost is to not worry about the six spiritual senses: They’re yours to use.

The spiritual senses are a part of God’s love, grace, and compassion; they are a part of God’s great gift to us when He gave us Jesus. You can’t merit them; you can’t buy them; the spiritual senses are God’s gift to you. Just as God gifted man in the Garden of Eden with everything he needed—faith, love, health for the body—He has given you all you need; Jesus bought it back. When God gave Jesus, He gave everything! It’s all real; thank God it’s real!

With the divine faith in the spiritual sense of sight, you see through God’s divine love; you see the coming of the Lord; you see the end-time signs. Don’t wrestle with what Jesus told you: It’s fact, not fiction; accept it. Lord, I believe!

You don’t have to carry unbelief; Jesus will help you trust Him. If you accept the truth, worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, you can say, Lord, I believe! Help thou my unbelief! Whenever a speck of doubt appears that could make you waver over one truth of God, call on Him for help to overcome. Immediately He will move for you.

Pray with the Spiritual Senses

Wasted prayer…think of all the prayers God’s people have wasted because they didn’t use the spiritual senses; the spiritual senses weren’t real to them. They may have spent hours praying, but it isn’t a matter of how many hours they pray, it’s a matter of where they are with God in that prayer time. Are you in true communion with the Lord? Is that communion real to you? You’re not really with Him unless you’re in the spiritual senses.

The Bible tells us, God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Isn’t that what Jesus told the woman at the well? Worship him in spirit and in truth. How are you going to worship Him, dine with Him in Spirit and in truth, unless you have the reality of living in the six spiritual senses? Not going into the six spiritual senses has hindered many. Without the spiritual senses you’re in the wrong section of the prayer chamber, so to speak. You’ve gone to the left with the five physical senses instead of to the right using the six spiritual senses. Pray in living reality with the spiritual senses.

The Lord told me in a divine visitation how to spend hours in His presence and not ruin my voice. Sometimes people want to pray with much volume. I used to pray that way all the time—I seemed to get so much out of it. But when you’re praying like that, putting your whole self in it, you don’t get as much out of it as you think. It’s a physical feeling of reaching God; not the spiritual feeling. The Spirit is saying, Be still, and know that I am God (Psalm 46:10).

Take On the Mind of Christ

What a wonder it is to have the mind of Jesus! How are you going to have the mind of Jesus if you don’t use the spiritual senses? Do you believe that Jesus used the spiritual senses, or do you believe that He just used the physical senses? The Bible says, Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus (Philippians 2:5). To have the mind of Jesus is your inheritance. It took me a long time to be able to turn my mind over to the Lord just like a person with the Holy Ghost can turn his tongue over to the Spirit. The Lord had promised me in a divine visitation that the time would come I would not need man’s books, just His; and that He would pour His Word through me like mighty rivers. I had no one to direct me, no one to lead me into this except the Holy Spirit. I fasted, tarried before the Lord, looked to God, and then it happened. I was in a new world, able to turn my mind over to God just as you can turn your hand over to another person.

When the six spiritual senses are working, you are in God’s presence. Let Him take over your mind as though it were His own; let Him use your mind to bring to you God’s thoughts of His greatness, His love, and His truth. From cover to cover in the Word of God He will take you, dipping out truths to feed you so you can serve others. The Holy Spirit weeds out all thoughts that hinder; He clears the deck, so to speak. It’s marvelous what He does, how He can wipe out whatever is unpleasant from the mind as the person yields to the Holy Spirit.

I believe with all my heart that the Bride is going to be able to turn her mind over to the Lord. We are joint-heirs with Christ, and Christ’s mind was in harmony with the Father’s. The Father could think through the Son’s human mind as though it were His very own. Jesus had taken on a human mind; He used the ingredients of Heaven to make it what it was. All of that is available to you and to me today; we can take those elements from the Lord to have the mind of Jesus, a mind the Father can talk to. He gives that mind His wonderful thoughts as He pours His blessings of great love into that mind just like He poured them into His Son when He was here on Earth.

The Lord has told you what to think upon; the six things named in the fourth chapter of Philippians. Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things (Philippians 4:8). These six thoughts have nothing to do with the physical. If you want these thoughts to be paramount in your life so the devil cannot trouble you, you will have to live in the six spiritual senses in the new and living way.

You may have tried to flush unwanted thoughts from your mind, but it is the Holy Spirit that flushes the mind and then flows in the love of God. The mind must be flushed daily, and sometimes it will have to be flushed a number of times in one day with the holy presence of God, with the joy, peace and faith of the Lord.

The soul is the reservoir for the mind. The mind is limited, but there is no limit to the capacity of the soul. The soul can hold all of Heaven, the whole Godhead, because the soul came from God. It’s not of the earth, not of flesh; it’s of God; therefore, the soul is like God when it comes to holding an unlimited supply of divinity.

The Holy Spirit helps you with spiritual faith, using what’s in your soul for your mind. Willingly you yield to God to fill your soul with His greatness. Then the Holy Spirit can flow that greatness to your mind, and He flows the love, peace, joy, wisdom, and knowledge of God. The five physical senses may decide how God should do something, but the six spiritual senses let you know that God will do it His way, and you bow to the will of God.

God said, For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Do you want to live on this higher plane, this higher realm? This is the Jesus realm and it’s very real. Jesus lifted man up to the level of Heaven’s holiness and righteousness, to the purity of God; and He brought deliverance and freedom from all sin.

With Jesus, You’re Free Indeed!

Sin no longer has dominion over you who are born new; you are free. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36). How much freedom in Jesus are you enjoying? Is He real to you? You can’t enjoy that freedom if you let self reign in the five physical senses. There you are without joy, without reality and freedom in the Lord. The Lord promised to meet you in your prayer closet; He is with you, but if you are using only the five physical senses, you can’t see the Lord; He isn’t real to you. In fact, you can’t see Him at all if you don’t use spiritual sight. Use spiritual sight, spiritual faith to behold the Lord. Live by the divine faith that comes through the spiritual senses and be free.

If the five physical senses are all you use, you’re not really living. The Lord gave me life when he saved me. Before I was saved I thought the Christian life would be so dull that I’d never be happy again. Who would want to give up life at eighteen? Looking on receiving salvation like going to my death, I thought I would have no life, never be happy. But that wasn’t the way it was. When I was saved, the Lord took me over, showed me how happy He could make me; I had never been so happy before in my life. I hadn’t thought I would ever be eager to be alone with God, but now I could hardly wait to get home so I could be with Him. I begrudged the time I had to spend away from home; my room had turned into a heaven right here on Earth. Every time I fell down on my knees by my bed, the Lord met me. He was always there just waiting for me, and I would fall into His arms.

Taste of the Lord

Why do some people who are in the grace of God talk about grace but don’t use it? Because the five physical senses are their reality. The Bible says, Taste and see that the LORD is good (Psalm 34:8). Taste of the Lord with the spiritual sense of taste. People don’t understand this taste. Jesus said, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you (John 6:53). The five physical senses tell you that this verse is ridiculous. Who would want to drink human blood, eat human flesh? Many don’t understand that Jesus was talking from a spiritual standpoint; it takes the six spiritual senses to understand what He was saying. Drink my divine blood, nourish your spiritual life, and eat the Word. I’m the Word made flesh and you have to eat the Word. The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth (John 1:14).

In the divine senses you don’t go into the prayer chamber and fight the devil; you leave the devil outside. The devil has no business in the prayer closet with you and the Lord. Do you think God would let the devil go into the most holy place? Of course not.

The devil doesn’t want to touch God; he just wants to touch people. He knows he can take people over because he deceived Adam and Eve and a trillion more since then. Why let him deceive you? Why go into your prayer chamber expecting to wrestle the devil? If you want to wrestle, wrestle with an angel like Jacob did; don’t wrestle with the devil. Follow the example of Michael, the archangel when the devil tried to claim the body of Moses. He said, The Lord rebuke thee (Jude 1:9). Turn the devil over to the one who can handle him; turn him over to God, Jesus and the blood. It’s through the blood we conquer the devil. The power in the blood is real!

See through the Spiritual Senses

If you don’t have the divine senses working, no matter how much you believe in the blood of Jesus, you’re not going to be able to use it. That’s the reason prayer has been such a burden, why you’re not excited about it. If Jesus would come to you in person and say, Child, we’re going to have a real talk, would you say you had to go to lunch? No, you’d forget everything else but Jesus as you took His nail-riven hand and looked into His loving eyes. But the only way you’re going to look into the loving eyes of Jesus the way He wants is through the spiritual senses. Only through the spiritual senses can you see Jesus the way He wants you to.

I see many things through the spiritual senses. The spiritual senses take over my eyes and I’m able to look inside of people. It’s like an X-ray vision, that’s all I know to call it; I see as God sees. Through the spiritual senses, I see angels the way you see people. The angel of the Lord comes to me; gives me directions as I pray for the sick.

When an angel speaks, he speaks in the first person almost all the time; it’s God talk. He may give only a few words from the Lord, but they’re so profound that people could talk all day, all week and all month and wouldn’t say as much. It’s wonderful when God speaks!

In a crusade in Ghana, West Africa, I looked up and saw a line of angels just like I see people. Looking as though they were moving over a walkway, they were all dressed in white, and their dark hair was down to their shoulders. It was a beautiful sight, but it startled me; I’d never seen them walk like that before. Wouldn’t it have been wonderful had all those people in the congregation looked up and seen them! Through the six spiritual senses I saw that sight; it was real.

The manifestations of God are not imaginary. They are real, just as real as your hand. You know what you see; you know you have the truth in you. Take every manifestation, every vision to the Word of God; they must harmonize with the Word, stand the Word test. The Lord will not allow one of His visions to be counterfeited exactly; it won’t happen. If you have a vision from the Lord, carefully observe everything in it. Is there a chair, draperies? Do the draperies have a design? You will come back to the reality of that vision one day; but the devil will try to counterfeit it, make you think it’s time for that vision to take place when it isn’t. He’s deceived many people into thinking it was time for the fulfillment of what God had given them, and it wasn’t the time. They got ahead of God, became deceived, and fell into despair. In this final hour use spiritual eyesight, divine eyesight, divine senses. It’s a must for the Bride. It’s the new and living way.

Seek the Divine Will

The purpose of coming to the prayer chamber is not to give your opinions to God or to rebel against Him. Come to the prayer chamber with one main thought: I have come to do thy will, oh God. If you haven’t come to do the will of the Lord, stay out of the prayer chamber; don’t expect the Lord to meet you there. He’s not going to be reality to you until you seek His will; then He can reveal Himself. As long as you haven’t come to do one hundred percent of the will of God, He waits. Never go before God without wanting His divine will to be done.

When you’re ready to do the whole will of God, ready to do the will of the Bible, willing to walk any path the Lord wants to take you, then He will lead you in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake (Psalm 23:3). As for God, his way is perfect (Psalm 18:30). Perfection cannot be improved upon.

God gives the grace to bow in divine humility like His Son bowed. He has adopted you who are born again into His family, making you a joint-heir, an equal heir with Jesus. To be equal with Jesus is to talk like Him, believe like Him, act like Him, and accept everything the Father has said just like Jesus accepted it when He was very man as well as very God here on Earth. Jesus is our perfect example.

In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). Walk up to the Lord’s door in the six spiritual senses with full assurance that God will answer; ask and receive, seek and find, knock and the door will fly wide open. You can’t knock in Heaven’s faith without using the spiritual senses.

If you begin to feel desperate in prayer, start praising the Lord for the answer. He said, If you ask, you will receive. You trigger faith when you praise the Lord, set it into motion. Every time a problem comes to your mind, praise God for the victory. You’ll see the anointing more and more become yours to use in the greatness of God.

Always remember that the key to prayer is praying according to God’s will. Accept the reality of the one who answers your prayer, knowing Jesus is actually with you making intercession. It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34). The Lord wants you to embrace the reality of Him in this new realm. It will change your prayer life, change your spirit toward prayer; and prayer will become what the Lord wants it to be in your life. Meet with the Lord; take time with Him.

And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God (Romans 8:27). The Holy Spirit helps you when you pray according to the will of God. Until you come to the place that you want the will of God in everything, you’re not going to get many prayers answered. Not my will, but thine, be done (Luke 22:42), Jesus said.

Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered (Romans 8:26). We don’t know what we should pray for if we don’t know the will of God. The Holy Spirit, however, knows what is needed; there are times He will groan and cry through you as He intercedes on your behalf. It may not make sense to people who hear you if they are weighing your prayer with the five physical senses—and if you’re not careful, you’ll weigh the Holy Spirit’s intercession with the five physical senses, too. If you do, you’ll miss out. Weigh the things of God on the scales of the six spiritual senses; not the five physical ones.

Come Boldly to the Throne

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Right here on Earth we can come boldly to God. The six spiritual senses take you before the throne of grace just as though you were in Heaven today ready to fall down before the Lord. The physical senses will say Heaven is millions and millions of miles away, but the spiritual senses say, Not so! Although as a saint of God you’re walking in your physical body, you’re only a step away from the shores of sweet deliverance: That’s how close Heaven is to you. Heaven is where God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are. When the will of Heaven is being done, it creates a heaven for you right here on Earth. Everything is brought under subjection, every particle of you to the will of God. Now the devil has none of you; he’s lost power over you, and he can’t torture you with the battles of the mind.

The Lord gets no glory out of the battles of the mind. He said to tell His people to turn those battles over to the Holy Spirit. Carry the burden the Lord honors, the burden for lost souls, the burden the devil is seeking to rob you of.

If you don’t have the compassion of Calvary, don’t live in the spiritual senses, you won’t shed the tears of Calvary daily for the lost. The tears you shed will be from the physical senses, and physical tears won’t do the job of divinity. Cry the tears of Calvary, the tears of Heaven’s love, the tears of Heaven’s faith, the tears of Heaven’s compassion. The same cry, the same tears shed on the cross are your heritage today. To be able to say, “Father you always hear me” is your privilege as a child of God.

I let the Lord use my ears. In the healing lines I hear bones going into place; I hear God moving and adjusting bodies. Not always knowing whether I’m hearing in the physical or the spiritual, I may turn to a worker and ask, “Did you hear that?” If they heard it, then I know they heard it through their physical hearing, and others could hear it too. If they say, “No, I didn’t hear it,” then I know I’m hearing in the Spirit.

God’s Miracles Are No Accident

Remember the words of the man healed of blindness: One thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see (John 9:25). To see God is to see Him working. Seeing God at work is seeing the glory of the Lord, seeing God moving for you, seeing prayers being answered. But when some people get an answer to prayer, they doubt the reality of it. The devil whispers: An accident! That just happened. It would have happened even if you hadn’t prayed. Faith wanes.

I thought God did that.

The devil says, No, He didn’t do that.

Now you’re in a corner, pining away. I thought God answered my prayer. I thought, I thought, I thought!

Don’t go by thoughts of doubt; go by the faith of God. Pray, I say again, according to the divine will of God; and trust the faithfulness of Him to answer prayer.

Naaman thought the wrong thing. Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Syria, was a great man with his master, and honourable, because by him the LORD had given deliverance unto Syria: he was also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean. But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean? Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean (II Kings 5:1,9-14).

Naaman needed to have his pride drowned in muddy Jordan. That first dip must have been trying to Naaman. Although he didn’t want the will of God, he yielded to the instructions of Elisha because he wanted to be cured of leprosy, and he was made whole.

Praying according to their own will rather than God’s has hindered many people. You must, I say again, want the will of God; and if not, don’t try to call Heaven. Praying in self will bring in more doubt because Heaven is not going to answer.

The God of miracles lives! Do you wrestle with that? When someone tells you that God will perform a miracle, do you think he is in fanaticism? You said you believed, but do your actions say otherwise? Are parts of the Bible like poison to you because you don’t want to hear them? Nothing in this Bible is a poison to believers. Every word of God is pure (Proverbs 30:5), the Bible declares. The Word of God is not contaminated even a little bit. The Word of God is real, and it will purify you; it will purify your system, your brain, your mind as you let it.

You Can Call Jesus Anytime

Jesus was always glad to be alone with the Father. The disciples would grow tired, be worn out; and Jesus would say, sleep on as He went to be alone with the Father. Many times, I’m sure, He spent the whole night through with the Father. The sun would be up before duty was calling Him elsewhere. Nights can pass quickly when you’re in His presence. In the presence of God, the time flies.

Prayer is the greatest privilege that you have, the privilege to call Jesus anytime. Isn’t that wonderful! You don’t have to depend on someone else to call Jesus for you; you can call Him.

One thing I know, I was blind, but now I see. One thing I know, I couldn’t call Jesus anytime. One thing I know, I couldn’t see Jesus, but now I can see Him through the Spirit, I can see Him through His Word. I can see Jesus healing the people; I can see Him moving, answering prayer; I see His concern for you and me. I can see Him, I can see Him, I can see Him! I can see Jesus in the midst of His people today. Can you see Him? With the spiritual senses don’t you feel Jesus is with you now?

You cannot call Jesus anytime or have your prayers answered unless you speak the love language. The Lord let me know it’s a must in prayer to be a speaker of the love language; our main language must be love. If you gossip, criticize and run your brothers and sisters in the Lord down, you’re in trouble. You say, “Well, it’s the truth.” What if someone would tell all the truth about you, tell your most private thoughts? Would you like that? No, you wouldn’t.

Don’t hurt others; help them, lift them up. If you see someone down, pick them up and give them a start. You’d help a little child who had fallen in front of you. You wouldn’t say, Sorry, I’m in a hurry. You would reach down before thinking to lift that child up. Lift up others in the love of the Lord that quickly, telling them, Come on, God will help you; God will be with you; God loves every one and He cares for you! That’s the Spirit of Jesus.

The Lord is calling you today, and He loves you. This is real! I was blind, but now I see! All I’ve been talking to you about is real—thank God we know it’s real—and it’s all for you today. It’s real! It’s real!

Now use it.
