Believing is Seeing

The bible says “the whole world is under the control of the evil one”-1 John 5:19. The principle that satan uses to control the world is that ‘seeing is believing’. This is opposed to God’s principle in 2 Corinthians 5:7 “For we walk by faith, not by sight”. The enemy has taken control of the kingdoms of this world, including movies, advertising, marketing, economics and politics and uses them to flash images before our eyes and when we believe those images we replicate them in our lives which is why for example people want to do what they see in movies. The devil’s plan is to show us and get us to believe so that we can reproduce what we believe. But ask yourself where the devil got this idea from? He stole it from this verse-“Then Jesus said, “Did I not tell you that if you BELIEVE, you will SEE the glory of God?”-John 11:40. Seeing is not believing. Believing is seeing. Therefore, if you believe what you see what you see will keep happening in your life. But if you do not believe what you see, but believe what the Word of God says, that is what will happen in your life.
