Looking Beyond

“While we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” II Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬
What are you focused on?

Focus-The distinctness or clarity of an image rendered by an optical system.

Whatever you’re focused on will manifest in one’s life whether good or bad

Genesis 30:29 Jacob was focused and placed even objects around him to keep him focused
Jacob laid the rods before the eyes of the sheep 30:41

““And it happened, at the time when the flocks conceived, that I lifted my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which leaped upon the flocks were streaked, speckled, and gray-spotted.” Genesis‬ ‭31‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬

Your focus will determine what’s in your heart

“For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs‬ ‭23‬:‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬

Focus not on things that are seen but on things that are beyond what you can see
Kingdom treasure

Provision

Healing
Thy Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven

Dreaming is looking beyond

For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.”

Subject to change

We must look at preceding verse

“For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” II Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭‬‬‬‬

Speak what you see beyond
“And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak,” II Corinthians‬ ‭4‬:‭13‬ ‭NKJV‬‬‬‬‬
