And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. 43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. 44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Faith v Common Sense
.. In our everyday walk our circumstances or common sense completely contradicts your faith. You see faith isn’t common sense and common sense isn’t faith, and until we can learn this one we can still have problems. We will battle with our faith and our belief because we’re still applying it with the world – what I see, what I hear .. feel .. touch. That’s our problem and that’s our battle. That’s why at times you’re down.. questioning. ‘ my prayers didn’t get answered.. I layed hands on that person and they weren’t raised up.. healed. We become depressed and listen to the Devil’s lies.. ‘ see it doesn’t work see God isn’t healing today – that was only for the Apostles in the book of Acts ‘ – that’s the usual one you hear today.
Natural Reason v Supernatural Vision
No no .. God is renewing our minds our thinking. We’re putting on the mind of Christ, that mind that spoke the Word and he [Lazarus] was raised up from the dead defying common sense, and the people were astounded because they were seeing something miraculous that shouldn’t happen in the natural. This is why I keep saying to us that our new birth our belief in Christ is supernatural. You are not a natural person any more if that makes any sense, you are not of common sense – you are miraculous..
Blindness v Revelation
.. You have something supernatural in your life your heart your spirit that defies common sense – that exposes the powers of darkness and the very Devil himself. This is why the faith message is always under attack because it exposes the god of this world that blinds the eyes of most and sadly those that call themselves Christians. That’s why we walk by faith and not by sight..
