The Alpha of the Invisible


UV3064/10000 The Alpha of the Invisible
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse
Romans 1 v 20
A man of God once told me a very insightful truth that the real world is the invisible, spiritual world and the physical world is just a shadow of the invisible. This truth is echoed in the uni-verse above. The invisible attributes of God are seen in visible creation. His infinite nature seen in the vastness and size of the stars in this universe, His love seen in the provision of all things needed to sustain humanity and all creatures in nature, His goodness seen in all the bounties of nature, His beauty seen in the landscape and the water bodies, the rising and setting of the sun and moon, His wisdom seen in the mysteries of nature and of human nature, His knowledge manifest in the works of the hands of man, His power, judgement , mastery and sovereignty revealed in the various awesome phenomena of nature that modern science and technology cannot rein in.
Today, with much of the modern world being controlled invisibly by electromagnetic waves which are invisible, it should be easier for man to believe the reality and power of the invisible. It is more vital that we learn to manage our "invisibles" than the visible factors like finances, machines, other people, governments, corporates and so on. Seeing is no longer the only or primary way to believe. We cannot see the invisible but we can feel or experience the effects of the invisible. We experience the harm caused by the invisible forces that are evil and the good caused by the invisible God. He also made it plain to mankind through the manifestation of all of His power and qualities through His visible image – Jesus Christ who is the fulcrum of human history. He split history into two- BC and AD, human nature into two- good and bad, godly and ungodly, human destiny into two- temporal or worldly and eternal, wisdom into two- earthly and sensual and spiritual or heavenly wisdom, the outer form of religion and true religion, worldly communication and wordly communication.
The Lord opens our inner eye of faith that we can perceive Him who is eternal, immortal, invisible, wonderful and glorious. Through that inner eye, we obtain supernatural grace and power to live victoriously. We can be supernaturally natural and naturally supernatural. There is a balance between the invisible and visible elements of our lives, between the natural and supernatural elements, with the invisible predominantly influencing our choices, our decisions, our priorities.
