WRITINGS
The Bible opens with God’s declaration of His creation of the heavens and the earth: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth” (Genesis 1:1). The verse tells us that from the beginning, God created two worlds: the physical universe and the unseen heavenly or spiritual realm. Even though invisible, we must never forget that this spiritual realm is created, and within it are the spiritual beings that inhabit this domain—the angels.
“So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you” (Matthew 17:20).
How many times have I read this verse conjuring up images of large mountains plunging into the ocean? Now, I have never seen this happen nor witnessed my prayers causing even a pebble to move out of place. Or have they?
I often hear people say, “it’s not for me to judge another person,” even when they know they are acting sinfully. They cite the words of Yeshua, where He said, “Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:3).
