If you believe in an unseen Christ, you will believe in the unseen Christlike potential of others.

Heb 11:24-27
By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh's daughter, choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. By faith he left Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured, as seeing Him who is unseen. NASU
It is amazing to me how fascinated people, even myself, become entranced by the workings of magicians. We know that they are not real, yet if they can, by sleight of hand, cause us to be mystified by their tricks, they have our attention. Many study this art from youth, and devote their entire lives to its perfect execution, but in the end, it is not real.
Now this day you have a chance to see a real, but yet invisible God work in your life. Wouldn’t you be interested in seeing the interesting and real ways that He can work in your life to bring about miracles? The magician sought from Paul a way to do the miracles he did, but they were not tricks, and he drew quick condemnation for seeking to use the power of God for selfish gain.
Now that is still a prerequisite today, when you want to know the secrets, it must be so that you can share them, and not for selfish gain. Jesus came for others, not Himself, and the greatest blessings we receive come when we seek blessing for someone else. I leave with you this day the same thing that Paul left with Timothy, his “son” in the Gospel in 1 Tim 1:17 “Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.”…God Bless.
