We all have situations that look like they are not going to work out; A dream that looks impossible to accomplish, a door that looks like it will never open, or a situation that looks like we will never meet the right person. However, things aren’t always as they seem. The scripture says For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18b)
We may not know what God has already lined up. We look at things in the natural, but God is supernatural. It may seem like your dream has died, and you have accepted that it’s not meant to be. God has some turnaround coming, some surprises where suddenly things come back to life, doors open that you never dream would open.
God has His hand on your loved one. Like Jonah, when he tried to go in the wrong direction, God had a whale waiting for him to take him back to his purpose. Your loved one may run, but he or she can’t get away. God’s arm is not too short to save. There is a shift coming where God suddenly changes your loved one course and brings him or her back into his or her destiny.
Maybe it looks like you will always struggle with your finances or live in lack, that is how it’s been in your family for years and seems like it’s going to continue to the next generation. No, things aren’t as they seem. Abundance is coming, overflow is coming in the name of Jesus.
God is going to give you the power to get wealth. What you touch will prosper and succeed. You are the difference maker. You are the one to break the generational limitation and to start a generational blessing. Part of faith is believing when there is no evidence, and trusting when all the circumstances say there is no chance.
What God promised you is still on the way, but the enemy will work overtime, telling you all the reasons it’s not going to happen; ” It’s too late. You are too old. You would have met somebody by now. Your health would have improved a little bit”. Don’t believe those lies. (2 Corinthians 4:18)
The scripture says, “Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). All the facts say the dream will never come to pass. The evidence says, “You are not going to get well, never meet the right person”. Don’t be moved by what you see, things aren’t as they seem. God is working in ways you can’t perceive.
He is doing things behind the scenes that are going to defy the odds. If you can see it, then it is no longer faith. Faith kicks in when there is no evidence. If you keep believing and keep trusting, God will do things you never saw coming, things that exceed your expectations, and that leave you in amazement of His goodness.
Your dream is still alive! What God starts, He is going to finish! Sometimes we give up, get discouraged, and let the evidence talk us out of it, but God doesn’t give up. Your time is coming. Weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning.
God has some surprises for you, some twists that you didn’t see coming. You thought you had lived alone after that breakup, but you have already accepted that the dream is dead. No, it is still alive! The right person is going to find you! You thought your health would continue going downhill, that sickness would limit your life. Things aren’t as they seem! God is working behind the scenes.
That dream is still alive! Healing is coming! A supernatural turnaround is coming! Or that dream seems like it’s over, you wanted to start your business, write a book, move into that nicer neighbourhood. You tried, doors closed, you didn’t have the funds. What you thought was dead is still alive. God is about to do a new thing and the unexpected… You didn’t see it coming but a big surprise is coming!
Let your focus be on the greatness of our God. He flung stars into space, He spoke the world into existence. Nothing is too difficult for Him. Yes, we have situations that look impossible, but we know God can do the impossible. Even though we have evidence that looks the opposite, what God promised will still come to pass. The enemy will always try to show you fake evidence so you don’t believe the truth!
DON’T FALL FOR IT!
It’s interesting how the brothers of Joseph tricked their father Jacob when they sold Joseph. They killed a goat and put the blood on Joseph’s robe. They created these circumstances to try to trick their father and deceive him into believing that Joseph was dead… And Jacob fell for it. This is the same way the enemy is. (Genesis 37:18-28)
The enemy will give you circumstances that look real, all the facts may say that sickness will end your life. Even the experts may say “You have gone as far as you can”. You have good evidence that what you have dreamed about is dead or what God promised is not possible now. You are right where Jacob was. Things aren’t as they seem but the word of God will prevail.
The enemy is just trying to deceive you into giving up on what you believe… Don’t be moved by what you see; the evidence will try to convince you that it’s not going to happen, but God is doing things you can’t see. You can’t see Joseph in Egypt; you don’t know that he is not only alive but he is being promoted and put in a position to save you and your family, which is going to be better than you have imagined.
The scripture says, When Jacob heard about Joseph, His spirit was revived“. For 22 years, Jacob was in mourning, doubting, defeated, not knowing that his son was still alive in Egypt. Don’t be like him, don’t go years upset over what hasn’t happened, discouraged over who hurt you, thinking that your dream is dead. Things aren’t as they are. Get your passion and your fire back. (Genesis 45:27)
Faith is the evidence of things not seen. Quit focusing on what you can see, and get rid of that negativity, it’s not telling you the truth. The lie that says “You will never get well, never break the addiction, your marriage is done”. No, God is still working. He has some surprises coming your way, where suddenly doors open, suddenly problems turn around, and your Joseph, who seems dead, shows up again.
I read about a young woman who went to buy a few items. When she got back in her car and sat in the driver’s seat, she heard a loud noise and felt something hit the back of her head. She thought she had been shot. She reached up and felt what seemed like her brain coming out. She initially passed out. When she woke up, she sat there motionless for over an hour, holding the back of her head, trying to keep her brain in.
Some people walked by and noticed something was wrong, then called 911. The police showed up and asked her to open the door, but she said she couldn’t because she had been shot and was holding her brain in. They broke the window open and discovered a can had exploded, the dough had shot out and hit the back of her head… Things aren’t as they seem.
The enemy always tells you the worst-case scenarios. That bloody robe says that Joseph is dead. That door that closed looks like your dream is dead. That person who walked away; thoughts told you “You will always be lonely“, things aren’t as they seem. That medical report says, “It’s all downhill from here”. No, God is working in your life right now…
Nothing can override God’s plan. And yes, there will be things we don’t understand, seasons of silence where we don’t see things working out. That’s when you have to trust God. Not be moved by what you don’t see, be moved by what you know: that God is faithful and He has not brought you this far to leave you.
Quit believing the lies that “It’s over“, and “It’s too late”. All the facts may say it’s not going to happen. Well, I decree and declare: what you thought was dead is about to show up. Dreams coming back to life, relationships restored, health turning around, children back on course. Like Jacob, your spirit is going to be revived, as you see the greatness of our God, in Jesus’ name.
The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift His countenance upon you, And give you peace.”’!
