I See Greater - Min. David Buford

Main message: Live by faith, not by what your natural eyes see — ask God to open your spiritual eyes so you can "see greater" realities of God's protection, provision, and future for you.

Key points:

• Sight often shapes opinions, but God calls us to trust His Word and the unseen (faith) rather than simply what appears.
• Faith is the substance of things hoped for and must be mixed with hearing God's Word to be effective.
• 2 Kings 6: the servant saw only danger until Elisha prayed, then God opened his eyes to divine horses and chariots of fire — a model for seeing spiritual help in crises.
• The Holy Spirit enables us to see greater than natural circumstances; speak and believe "I see greater" in the face of bills, illness, or bad news.
• God's character and plans for your future remain constant; remind yourself that He has already thought through your future.
