In the New Covenant, grace is spiritual, as we need the revelation from the Holy Spirit to understand the grace of God. In the New Covenant, truth is also spiritual, as the Holy Spirit only witness to the truth. By the grace of God, the righteousness that He imparted to us is also spiritual because we too, need the Holy Spirit to convict us of righteousness and reveal to us that we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. By the grace of God, He did not just take away all our sins, all our curses, all our sicknesses, all our bondages, all our poverty; He made us born again in the Spirit, to be called a new creation. Praise God, when we are born again in the Spirit, we are born righteous.
By the grace of God, we are now a spirit being living in our bodies… This divine exchange was made possible because as Spiritual Being, the Creator of this universe, our Lord Jesus humbled Himself and came down from His high level onto our level and redeemed us… through His Finished Work at the cross, He set us free from the kingdom of darkness!
Therefore, as a born again believer, to believe is spiritual, our faith is spiritual, our praise to God is spiritual, our thanksgiving is also spiritual, our prayer is spiritual, our worship is spiritual, and to rest in Him is also spiritual... The promises that God promised us are also spiritual and even our shouting of “Amen” is spiritual! Those who are under grace are those whom the Father seeks to worship Him in Spirit and truth. This is the reason why we are now in the world but not of the world!
Hebrews 11:3 ~ Because of our faith, we know that the world was made at God's command. We also know that what can be seen was made out of what cannot be seen (CEV).
In the account of Abram and Lot in the Book of Genesis, when Lot had parted from Abram, (Lot represents the veil that is on the believer's face, and as the veil is taken away,) God asked Abram to lift up his eyes from where he was and look north and south, east and west. All the lands that he could see the Lord would give to him and his offspring. Abram, in his dispensation and his point of time, was a natural man.When he looked from north to south, from east to west, his sight created the sign of a cross… and the rest is history and we know that Abram, later called Abraham, was highly favoured and greatly blessed with materialistic blessings.
God preached the Gospel story to Abram and God credited him as righteous because he believed. In the account of John 8:56, Jesus Himself told the Jewish people of His time that their father Abraham rejoiced to see His Day, and Abraham saw it and was glad. Abraham believed the Gospel and looked forward to the Cross, and he saw the Finished Work of Christ. We have heard of the same Gospel too and are now established by His grace because we believed we are righteous by faith. As such, we who believed this Good News are now children of Abraham. The Bible says, only those who are of faith are sons of Abraham. Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, "And to seeds," as of many, but as of one, "AND TO YOUR SEED," who is Christ. Therefore, the promise by faith in Jesus Christ is given to those who believe. If we insist to obey the Law to be righteous or we insist to perform to own our righteousness, then we are uable to receive the blessing that God promised Abraham because the Abrahamic blessing is only given to those who believe that they are righteous by faith!
When God called Abraham, he was not born again in the Spirit but we are. We just need to look back at the cross (north and south, east and west), we just need to look at Jesus’ Finished Work, for Jesus had restored the promise that He made with Abraham. We do not need to look far like Abraham, we just need to see in the Spirit... Whatever we can see will ne given to us. For we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God… we need to realize that this is spiritual, and we need to believe the truth and see in the Spirit to received our blessing…
No one can teach us how to see in the Spirit but the anointing that God had given us i.e. the Holy Spirit … but we (our spirit man) can grow to see by only feeding on the truth i.e. Jesus’ Finished Work. Abraham looked forward to Jesus’ Finished Work and he was glad, and as we look back at Jesus’ Finished Work, we should be more grateful because by His grace, "It's Finished!" and we are already blessed!
"Seeing is believing" is of the Old Covenant spirit but "believing is seeing" is of the New Covenant Spirit. "Seeing is believing" is of the world, but "believing is seeing" is spiritual! Believe and See in the Spirit to receive your Abrahamic blessing!
How to see? You may ask again...
Revelation 3:18 ~ I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.
This eye salve is the Holy Spirit. Saul the Pharisee was healed by this eye salve when Ananias laid his hand on him... Well, feed yourself on the truth concerning Jesus' Finished Work and BELIEVE; the Holy Spirit will make sure that you see. In due time, you can't help but SEE...and seeing effortlessly!
