We live in dangerous times, both spiritually and physically, so it’s very important to know whether or not we are truly positioned to receive God’s grace for resisting temptation, endurance, guidance, protection, and physical provision. Hopefully, this insight will make it clear enough to ensure that no one goes another moment with a false sense of security.
Man can only have the proper perspective when his reasoning is generated through faith in God. Otherwise, all reasoning is generated by self interests and worldly influences. Our reasoning dictates our perspective. It’s the sole influence over our will and our life can only follow the course that is set by our will.
If our perspective and reasoning stem from the carnal nature, our will turns to pursue self interests and whatever provision may be had from this world. If our perspective and reasoning is generated by the Divine nature, through exercising faith in God, our will turns to purse the interests of God, His kingdom, and His provision. To recap; exercising faith in God is the only way to possess the proper reasoning, the proper perspective, and a will that is turned to God.
Though many do not realize it, everyone is continually exercising faith in something and it’s impossible to be otherwise. This is so because true Biblical faith is defined as; the act of giving one’s self up to something that is trusted, whereby they unite themselves with it and give place for the subject of their trust to unite with them.
So, our reasoning and perspective continually determine what we choose to trust and be united with; the Divine nature and Heavenly things or the fallen nature and worldly things. Where faith is not in God, there is no union with Him and there cannot possibly be any reasoning or perspective except that which springs from self interests and worldly knowledge.
Those who will not exercise their faith to be fully united with the will and working of God cannot reason with a Heavenly perspective, cannot pursue the things of Heaven, cannot possess the Heavenly life, or partake of the Heavenly powers. They can only reason according to what is natural, pursue what is worldly, including worldly forms of religion, and be subjected to the powers of the world. False christianity is a worldly form of religion that has seduced many and given them a false sense of security.
Psalm 91:1-4 says, “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler”. We see that God’s protection and provision is for those who dwell in the secret place and are hidden.
Colossians 3:1-3 reveals that the secret place is to be hidden in Jesus by being dead to self and the world. “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God”
The only people who are truly positioned to receive Divine guidance, strength, protection, and physical provision are those who trust God to the degree that they fully give themselves to be united with His will and working within them, through them, and all that occurs in their daily life. This, and this alone, is exercising faith in God and dwelling in the secret place.
