SEPARATING THE SPIRITUAL FROM THE PHYSICAL
THE HIDDEN MEANING
INTRODUCTION
In these next scriptures, we at VAL-TE’ believe when you’re blessed with the spiritual gift of knowing God is real, you act differently. “O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires, I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones. All your children shall be taught by the LORD, And great shall be the peace of your children. In righteousness you shall be established; You shall be far from oppression, for you shall not fear; And from terror, for it shall not come near you. Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake. “Behold, I have created the blacksmith Who blows the coals in the fire, Who brings forth an instrument for his work; And I have created the spoiler to destroy. No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD. Isaiah 54: 11-17 NKJV
Biblical Word
NOTHING FORMED AGAINST ME SHALL PROSPER – By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death; he could not be found, because God had taken him away. For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God. And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him. Hebrews 11: 5-6 NIV
Reference
Ephesians 2: 8-10 – For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can boast about it. God has made us what we are, and in our union with Immanuel he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do. GNT
Significance
Genuine Faith (Full trust in God) – We at VAL-TE’ also believe isn’t about having enough faith, but having our faith in the right object – which is God, who is reliable. When we truly trust God, we act on it, living each day with knowing God is real, and takes good care of His own. There is nothing that can make someone do anything wrong once we find out God actually exists, actively guiding us and giving us the confidence a child sees in their parents to make everything alright. It’s a relationship built on waiting for God to show up, no matter how long it takes, because we know God is going to make everything alright.
