The 6th Sense!

The 6th Sense! You know that relief feeling when you open your device and the first message that pops at you is one that reads “God works miracles in the worst of circumstances”. To many, the first reaction would be of disregard and passing away for more ‘important’ activities to be done; For someone who has had positive hopes and carries a God-consciousness, is more expectant that even ‘random’ contexts include avenues for God to speak to him/her. The human mind is sensitive to words, as well as actions. They have a way of re-echoing over time. The most significant effect of this is that they affect our habits of perception - they are linked to our five human senses. Every bit of communication stretches some human sense, thus exaggerating that particular sense and influence human interactions. An extension occurs when an individual makes use of something in a way that gives the human mind and body a new sensitivity. The world is one of observable facts- the five human senses of sight, touch, taste, smell and hearing. But a 6th sense is the one of Faith. This sense is not a visible one; it contradicts the existence of the other five natural ones. Faith is a belief in, trust in or devotion to something or someone, especially without logical proof. I refer in this piece to Faith in God. It is an audacity to believe that something out of the norm will happen. Reducing an army of thirty-two thousand men to three hundred can be explained only by the 6th sense! “Then the Lord said to Gideon, "With the 300 men who lapped water I will save you and hand Midian over to you. All the other men should go home." Judges 7:7 (GWT). Forwarding All Issues To Heaven, means that I am insensitive to negativity around me… Faith is seeing light with your heart when all your eyes see is darkness… Faith makes things possible, though not easy; it requires a good fight… Faith in God changes everything… Faith is dead to doubts, dumb to discouragements and blind to impossibilities… Without Faith, it is impossible to please God- that statement is more than a cliché. The weight of it comes with tests of the heart and mind – God checks your level of dependency on Him with your response to His instructions. "Go at once to Zarephath of Sidon and stay there. I have commanded a widow in that place to supply you with food." 1 Kings 17:9 (NIV). The widow that was charged with the provision of food for Prophet Elijah, had suffered a major deprivation of food and should have ready excuses of her inability to cope with an extra responsibility. Only a sense of Faith can receive this kind of instruction in the light of reliance on God for provision. Faith is a test of your confidence in God. ....“humbling you and testing you to prove your character, and to find out whether or not you would obey his commands.” Deuteronomy 8:2 (NLT). Do not throw away your great confidence – God is not slack concerning His promises for your life. “I am The Resurrection and The Life”, if you yet belief, Lazarus will come alive, though he be dead for four days! Your Glory will emerge! Activate your 6th Sense… ayanfeLAMPROS NOTE: GWT (God’s Word Translation) NIV (New International Version) NLT (New Living Translation) Phone Contacts: 0802 828 6163, 0803 5100 530.
