SEEING AND HEARING THE INVISIBLE!

‘Red Fox Hunting’ photo by Fred J. Lord.

There are some amazing critters out there!  They were created to ‘see’ what they can’t hear and hear what they can’t see. 

Eagles and falcons have some of the best eyes in the animal kingdom.  These majestic birds are designed to spot prey from high above, and then swoop down fast to catch it.  Their eyesight is one of the sharpest among all animals, and some species can spot something as small as a rabbit, from more than a mile away!                                                                                                                                  

They can see what they cannot hear!

Deep snow covers the Black Hills of North Dakota.  Hidden under that blanket of snow, field mice are stirring.  A Red Fox has been given an amazing set of skills.  He can hear what he cannot see!  He can hear the faintest scamper of a field mouse.  The fox dives headfirst into the snow with a giant leap and catches the critter under three feet of snow.  

And what is their reward for having these remarkable skills?  Survival!  Life itself!

You have been created with eyes and ears to see and hear this physical world.  But you have also been given something that no other animal has, eyes that can see and ears that can hear by faith what is invisible to the eye, and physically silent to the ear…the unseen world of the spirit. 

 And what is your reward if you use your eyes and ears by faith?  Spiritual survival.    

In the book of Revelation, Jesus said, “Here I am!  I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.  Note that He is knocking 24/7!  Revelations 3:20.

Can you hear Him calling you with your spiritual ears?  Have you ‘opened the door’ and invited Him in?  If you have, you will have fulfilled God’s greatest desire and the ultimate purpose of life, to restore His relationship with you!  You will walk with Him, hear His voice and have an intimate, loving relationship with Him as He originally intended to have with man when He created him and placed him in the Garden of Eden.  You will spend eternity with Him!!!

 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him (opens the door) shall not perish but have eternal life.  John 1:11-12.

He will ‘make known to you the paths of life; He will fill you with joy in His presence’.  Acts 2:28.  

He will ‘open your eyes and turn you from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan (the enemy of your soul) to God, so that you may receive forgiveness of sins (spiritual survival) and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in Him.’  Acts 26:18.

And this will be Paul the apostle’s prayer for you: ‘I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.’ Ephesians 3:16-19.

‘Fix your eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal!!!’ 2 Corinthians 4:18.
