Faith To See The Invisible

Faith to See the Invisible

The Chaldeans answered the king, and said, “There is not a man on earth who can tell the king’s matter; therefore no king, lord, or ruler has ever asked such things of any magician, astrologer, or Chaldean. It is a difficult thing that the king requests, and there is no other who can tell it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.” For this reason the king was angry and very furious, and gave the command to destroy all the wise men of Babylon. So the decree went out, and they began killing the wise men; and they sought Daniel and his companions, to
kill them. Then with counsel and wisdom Daniel answered Arioch, the captain of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon; he answered and said to Arioch the king’s captain, “Why is the decree from the king so urgent?”

Then Arioch made the decision known to Daniel. So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house, and made the decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions, that they might seek mercies from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so that Daniel and his companions
might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

Daniel 2:10–19 nkjv

I established earlier in this book that the spirit realm is as real as the natural realm but it’s invisible and mass-less. Identifying the details of Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and its interpretation necessitated spiritual sensitivity. What the king’s spiritual advisors could not do was see clearly in the spirit realm. Daniel knew that if he could just get a glimpse of what God had revealed to Nebuchadnezzar in the dream, their lives would be saved. He shared it with his three friends, and they sought the face of God for insight.

In the spirit, the limitations of time and space do not exist. God said this about himself: “Declaring the end from the beginning, And from ancient times things that are not yet done, Saying, ‘My counsel shall stand, And I will do all My pleasure,’” (Isaiah 46:10 nkjv). God declared the future through images in a dream and set the stage for Daniel’s promotion. What kind of wisdom would you have access to if you approached God in a difficult situation before you ever considered another option?

Since our hypothesis states that biblical faith is “complete trust in the invisible evidence provided by the Word of God confirmed by commensurate action,” Daniel demonstrated his faith by confidently sharing what God revealed to him with the king. The king expected him to recount the dream and then explain what it meant, with the risk of death if he got it wrong. With the only evidence of the king’s dream being what God showed Daniel in a vision of his own, Daniel needed faith to survive. After Daniel told the king everything, let’s see how it turned out.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face, prostrate before Daniel, and commanded that they should present an offering and incense to him. The king answered Daniel, and said, “Truly your God is the God of gods, the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.” Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts; and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon, and chief administrator over all the wise men of Babylon. Also Daniel petitioned the king, and he set Shadrach, Meshach, and AbedNego over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel sat in the gate of the king.
Daniel 2:46–49 nkjv

Daniel’s faith led to instant promotion. When people begin to see life through the eyes of God, they begin to see the invisible. What might look one way on the surface might be completely different underneath, and the person who always knows that is God. He knew all along that this situation was designed for their promotion and the threat of death was just a catalyst for action. Normal people limit themselves to what their natural senses can perceive.

In contrast, God has a plan for promotion that cannot be perceived through physical eyes or with carnal understanding. Like the magicians, astrologers, and Chaldeans discovered, people who only see through the eyes of reason will draw blanks at some important times. They may have been able to create an interpretation of the king’s dream by reason, but they couldn’t deduce its contents if he didn’t tell it to them. From their perspective, deductive reasoning could only go so far and no farther. That lack of spiritual insight almost cost them their lives, while Daniel and his friends received great promotion. The lesson learned from faith to see the invisible is that spiritual eyes can see beyond the limits of time and space.
