1 Corinthians 14:15
How real is the spiritual realm? Consider this story for a moment of a lawyer who was preparing for an important case. He knew that he must be prepared to argue five separate points. He was to appear before the supreme court, so it was a very important case.
As he neared the time in which he was to go to court, he began to pray about how he was to argue the case. He spent much time in legal preparation and intercessory prayer. As he went to court, the Spirit spoke to him and said, "Do not argue point one, point two, point three, or point four. Only argue point five."
Imagine the struggle of faith that must have taken place within this man. If he were reading this wrong, the shame and professional fallout would be devastating.
The time had come to present the case before the judge when he said, "Judge, I wish to withdraw points one through four. I wish to argue only point five."
The opposing counsel stood up and objected. "Your honor, he cannot do that!"
"Objection overruled, counsel," said the judge.
So as God would have it, he went on to present his case around point five only, and then sat down. When the opposing counsel stood to present his case, he stood speechless. He could not get a word out of his mouth. He finally mumbled a few words and complained to the judge that he was going to have to yield. It seems that the opposing counsel had prepared to argue only points one through four, but failed to prepare for point five. The judge ruled in favor of the man presenting the case.
The unseen Lord wants to help us in the physical realm of every area of our lives. We must acknowledge His presence and tap into this incredible resource He has given to each of us. Seek out God in all things and ask Him to reveal His perfect plan for you this day and every day that follows.
