II Corinthians 5:7
For we walk by faith, not by sight.
To walk by faith it is required of you to ignore your senses. The world calls the five senses as the 'gateway of knowledge'.
The world receives knowledge from the five senses and they live accordingly. As believers of the Lord Jesus Christ, we live and walk by a higher knowledge. You remember, Jesus asked his disciples, Who do people say that I am? They said some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, some Jeremiah and other prophets. Jesus said Who do you say I am? Peter said, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus told Peter, He didn't receive this knowledge from flesh and blood or senses but he received this knowledge from His Father in heaven. There is a higher knowledge and that is the word of the living God. The word of God is the highest knowledge. The word of God is the highest authority. The word of God is the highest truth. We ignore the knowledge of the senses and receive the knowledge of the word, we believe it, we meditate on it, we prophesy it, we confess it and we celebrate it. We live according to the word knowledge.
Friend, Jesus said this knowledge is like a rock and the gates of hell will not prevail against those who build on this knowledge. We ignore the knowledge we receive from our senses, our feelings and our sight, rather we choose the knowledge that comes from heaven, the knowledge that the Holy Spirit gives us that is the knowledge of the word. Choose heavenly knowledge. Choose the word of the living God. Choose God. We walk and live by faith and not by sight.
