Operating in the Invisible

In terms of operating in the natural realm, most people, including Christians, are used to functioning based upon what we can see and what is tangible, visible or empirical. This of course makes sense, but it is not totally the way of God. If we are going to operate within the Realm of the Kingdom of God, we must begin to learn how to Operate within the Invisible. The Realm that God is calling His people to in this season is not a visible one, it is Invisible. That is why Jesus made it clear that those who worship the Father must do it in spirit and in truth (John 4). The Spirit Realm is an Invisible Realm. If we as the people of God do not learn to make this transition, we will be extremely restricted as it relates to experiencing and manifesting the Kingdom of God.

The Kingdom of God is an Invisible Realm that then has Visible Manifestation. The Kingdom of God doesn't start in the Natural, it manifests in the Natural; but it starts in the Spirit. Let's first start with God. God is Invisible. You cannot see God, but we witness the "Manifestation of God" through nature and His works (Romans 1). However, even with physical demonstration of the reality of God, people still choose not to believe in Him. Why? Because believing in God requires faith. The Bible says that we walk by faith, not by sight (2Corinthians 5). The scripture says that Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Hebrews 11). In order to please God, we must Operate by Faith, which is Operating in the Invisible.

Another dimension of the Kingdom that gets mentioned but not necessarily sufficiently addressed is the subject of Angels. If one is going to Operate in the Invisible and be a worker in the Kingdom of God, you must understand and expect the Supernatural interaction of Angelic Activity. Many Christians are familiar with Angels, but we have not been taught how to "work" with Angels, let alone their function in the Kingdom of God. The reason this is significant is because, once again, Angels are Invisible. They are all around us, but we cannot see them. They can and do manifest in the natural at times; but just because they can't always be visibly witnessed doesn't mean that they aren't constantly active. We must allow the Holy Spirit to renew our minds so that we can receive a better understanding of the role of the Angelic in the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

Lastly, we must keep in mind that as ambassadors of the Kingdom of God, we are operating in Spiritual Warfare. Satan and demonic emissaries are constantly seeking how they can destroy the believer in Christ (John 10). However, once again, the warfare for which we are engaged is Invisible. The Warfare for which we have been called is primarily fought in the Mind. That's why we are admonished to take every thought captive for Christ (2Corinthians 10). Satan wants your mind; but so does God. That's why the Word says, "let this Mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus" (Philippians 2). The scripture also says, "be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12). Don't be fooled or enthralled by what you see in the natural. Don't become a prisoner to what you can see and touch and feel. Understand that the True Reality is located in the Invisible Realm. And if we are to be vessels of God unto the ushering in of His Kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven, then we must begin Operating in the Invisible.
