CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE : There is no other subject that is more important to the Body of Christ Jesus which is his church today than the Bible principle of calling things that are not.. Yet it is a subject that is very controversial in some religious denominational circles and grossly misunderstood by many. I admonish you to approach this subject with a desire to know and understand God's methods. They may seem strange to you because of your religious denominational background. But don't make a decision for or against the subject unto you know what God said and did concerning this matter. This lesson is important to the rest of your life that has already begun in your relationship with the SON (Jesus) the Father and the Holy Ghost. I suggest that you read it paryerfully. It is dedicated to your freedom and success, both spiritually and financially as well as physically. "For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, or called: but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are." (1 Corinthians: 26--28). God the Father has chosen this method. Some don't know this Scripture is in the Bible, even though they have read it many times. God chose this method of using things that are not manifested [things that you cannot see with the natural eye] to bring to nought the things that are manifested. Nought means "Zero" ; "to bring to nought" means to reduce to nothing the things that are manifested. This is a Bible principle. God chose it. I didn't choose it until after I understood that God chose it. God could have done it anyway He wanted to, but He chose to do it this way. He chose to use things that are not manifested to the natural eye. He chose spiritual forces that you cannot see, feel, taste, smell or hear or touch to bring to nought the things that are manifested. He chose this method to reduce to nothing those things that are not in agreement with The Word of God. If you have a problem and you can see it, then it's in the natural realm. As long as you can see it, feel it, taste it, touch it and here it, it's in the natural realm. You can use your faith and the Word of God to change it. THE SAME SPIRIT OF FAITH : "We haveing the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak... For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, workerth for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but it did things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal." (2 Corinthians 4: 13--17--18). "The unseen realm is a powerful realm. The unseen is governed by God's eternal principles. Here is the principle that God has ordained. God used it all through the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation. It's the principle that Jesus used in all of His ministry here on the earth. It's the principle of calling things that are not as though they were. We find the apostle Paul's account of God doing this in (Romans 4). "As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations, before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. "(Romans 4:17).
