SPIRITUAL
SENSES
(2 Kings
6:17) "Then Elisha prayed: Lord, open his eyes to see. The
Lord did so, and the servant saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire
all around Elisha. "
INTRODUCTION.
- Is very common in men than be swayed by what the circumstances will show, and
this is the cause why many times, you end up depending more of the senses and of
the mind to trust in God. Satan
is well aware of this characteristic of human beings, and the advantage to use
your strategy of surrounding human beings from adversity, provided well distract
your attention and bring your eyes to the material. Satan
has been perfecting this conduct every day, and so you can easily control who
want, if you do not have a firm confidence in the Lord.
(Mar
6:49-52) "when they saw him walking on the sea, they thought it was a ghost and
cried out: 50 For they all saw him and were terrified. And
immediately he talked with them, and said: Take courage, I am not afraid!
51
And he went up unto them into the boat, and the wind ceased: and they were
greatly astonished, and wondered. 52
For they had not understood about the loaves, because their heart was hardened.
"
The
man has a strong habit of carrying the human field everything that happens, and
so it tries to solve the problems you are presenting, so that only what fits
into your thought as immediate possibility, is what accepts
and tries to develop to meet any extreme situation that comes your way.
Example: stress /
anxieties
Keep
in mind that God actually wants and allows the man to act as far as his strength
and understanding will permit, and once they touch the limits of the impossible
in our mind, is when he goes to work. We've
seen this reported by the Lord in the Gospels, when we speak of the miracles
performed by Jesus, where he notes that almost always, God did what no man could
do, but he left as a task to do what if it was within
reach.
Just
to remember the resurrection of Lazarus, where the Lord Jesus Christ clearly
tells people who were with him that the stone from the tomb where Lazarus lay
dead, and then orders the raising of Lazarus, which comes with bands and ties
with he was buried, and the
Lord says that the bandages. Well
could the Lord resurrect without the intervention of humans, but as we said
before, he let people do what they could do as was to remove the stone and let
go bands, and what man could not do was resurrect, that what Jesus did.This
forces us to think that all human beings have 10 senses instead of five as we
have always known, since we have 5 senses indeed materials and five spiritual
senses.
The
important thing is to develop the spiritual senses to have equal and preferably
greater sensitivity and strength carnal senses.The
keys that prevent us from developing the spiritual senses, which are what make
us see, feel, hear, feel and taste God's presence in our lives, and lead us to
victory after victory.
I-FEAR OF
MENOne
of the most powerful causes that impede the development of the spiritual senses,
is precisely the fear of men. We
see this frequently and clearly, in companies, and in every organization where
we are subjected to human authority, as often noted how it acts differently when
present the head of that organization. Actually
human behavior should be the same with or without the head boss
present.
This
is what has advanced the famous "THAT WILL SAY" which is so damaging in the
spiritual realm. People
are very interested in the opinions of those around him and therefore his
conduct conforms to the view of others, so that they have a concept as it is to
have, even if very different than they really are.
Mat
10:28 And do not fear those who kill the body but can not kill the soul: but
rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
In
verse basis, we see how the servant was frightened by the presence of the enemy.
This
raised only saw what he had carnal eyes, and forgot what his spiritual eyes
allow him to see.
But
Elisha, who did have well developed spiritual senses, proceeded to reassure his
servant, and this is how in verse 16 he says: "Fear not answered Elisha. Those
who are with us are more than they." And
in verse 17, which is what we take as the basis for this sermon, we detail as
Elisha prays to the Lord to give you the spiritual vision to his servant, so he
can see what he was saying.
Here
we see how the servant pleasant surprise was what Elisha had
said.The
important thing is to have a living faith in the Lord, and so in any
circumstance that comes our way, we can be sure that God will work in our favor,
achieving complete victory. for
this is that the Lord tells us in Romans 8:31, "What shall we say to this? If
God is for us, who can be against us?
II-SECURITY IN THE LORDElisha
was a man from a wealthy family, but chose to leave all possessions in order to
follow Elijah. Being
with Elijah and approaching the time when Elijah would be separated from him, as
did the heavens was caught, he was granted a wish, and Elisha's response was to
have the wisdom that Elijah twice. Here
we see Elisha making the best choice, because God chose things that worldly and
earthly things, which are what attract many people in our
age.
Ecclesiastes 7:12. For
wisdom is a defense, and money is a more wisdom exceeds that gives life to its
owners. -
You
can get the shadow of wisdom or in the shade of the money, but wisdom has the
advantage of giving life to its possessor.Back
to our story regarding this sermon, we discover that Elisha had the assurance
that what he was going to ask it would be granted by the Lord, and the reason
for this, we also have, for the Lord in his infinite justice, has given
to all alike, but some are more determined by God than others, and this makes
the difference.
Luke
20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest
rightly, do not regard the person, but teach the way of God in
truth.
Psalm
125:2. - As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the Lord surrounds his people
both now and forever.
If
you have a complete trust in God, you can have confidence also in their
protection. To
do this it is necessary that we get to have a close friendship with God, which
is cultivated through prayer and practicing your commandments, for this brings
us closer to him and we can get his advice, lessons and rebukes, where
leading, in the will of
God.
Only
you can trust the person is known, because otherwise you can not do it.
Therefore
it is necessary that we have God as our best friend, who would count all we have
in mind before you do, with the assurance that we will receive the best support
to our concerns.
The
knowledge of God should ask and seek, and for this we must go to the source of
wisdom that is God himself.
(John
17:3) And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and
Jesus Christ whom you have sent.So, we should
ask ourselves a few short questions:1.
Would you consult all the
Lord?Two. Do your decisions are
shared with the Lord?Three.
Do you
tell all your problems and successes to the Lord?April. You talk to the Lord
and let him talk to him?May.
Do you accept with
pleasure the will of God?June.
Do you read his word
daily?
III-WALKING BY
FAITHFaith
makes possible what seems impossible, and allows us to see what we see.
Many
times someone is in a problem, like Elisha, "apparently hopeless", and there are
two paths to follow.1 - Trust in
God and believe his promises and move on2
- Rely on your own strength and in man and find in them the solution, which is
impossible to move forward.
When
you walk in faith, it is possible to see miracles like the one God gave Elisha,
to be surrounded by large numbers of people to horses and chariots of fire,
which greatly alarmed the servant, who just looked the circumstances
his
physical eyes and was already defeated by those forces threatening that he found
in his presence.
Faith
should be something that is part of the spiritual, because faith enhances the
spiritual senses, so he sees, hears, touches, feels and like the presence of
God, and this allows you to be sure you are not alone and
that on the contrary, is covered by the protection that will take you to the
other side safely.
Some
say they have faith, but this faith is only theoretical, and then, despite his
affirmation of faith, the results shown are different
because:
1. They express negative
wordsTwo. Expect as St. Thomas see
first to actThree. They use their
own resources to get what they wantApril. LieMay.
DeceiveJune.
MurmurJuly.
Participate in gossip,
etc..Faith is indeed a gift
from God.
IV-THE POWER OF
PRAYER
We've
all heard of the prayer as the best means to communicate with God, but the
practice of prayer in many becomes routine, so that your prayers are but
repetidera repeat, because they have memorized phrases I
always recited in the same way and come to pray as we did before, ie previously
learned reciting prayers.
If
we know that prayer is talking to God, because we need to understand that
because God is the most important person in our lives, it also should be treated
with the same importance it deserves. I'm
sure if you talk to some important man, you get an appointment, and they will do
it, trying to be on time, and their preparation, both physical and intellectual
the better. This
time I ask, is your attitude like when you talk to God?
I
will not dwell on this important point, but I will deal later, but if I recall
that as Christians we must take this medium with the greatest responsibility, so
that we can really enjoy the wonders that God has prepared for
us.
CONCLUSION. -Our
goal should be to strengthen our spirit, so that it becomes stronger than our
flesh, and we become spiritual people, you will leave the land in which we live,
we survive all the circumstances and obstacles that confront us daily
in our walk towards the
Lord,
So
besides going from victory to victory, we, God's instruments to spread your
message, so that many can be saved, and understand that God loves everyone, but
that love what we freely accept and embrace in our hearts, replacing
all that the enemy has placed trying to cheat, so that we turn away from
God.
So
the things we experience how our spiritual senses are dominating our body, and
in this way will be possible for us to:
1 - Seeing
God2 - Hearing God3 - Feel the Presence of
God4 - Liking the word
of God and his teachings5 -
Feel the fragrance that only God has.
