“Eyes Have Not Seen, Nor Ears Heard, What God Has Prepared"

Reference: Isaiah Chapter 64

We have to see beyond the eyes, thear beyond the ears, perceive beyond our five senses. Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not achieved through the five senses.
By faith, I have passed from death unto life. By faith, I have a resurrected body. By faith, I am saved in Christ. By faith, I have become one with God in Christ.

Let's read.

Isaiah 64:1-4 "Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might flow down at thy presence, [2] As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! [3] When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains flowed down at thy presence. [4] For since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, beside thee, what he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him."

Unbelief has always been the problem from the very beginning. That's how Adam started, and it's been the nature of man. Faith beyond the five senses is the solution.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 64:5-6 "Thou meetest Him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, those that remember thee in thy ways: behold, thou art wroth; for we have sinned: in those is continuance, and we shall be saved. [6] But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away."


Adam placed every seed in him in the garden into sin.  Every seed became corrupted from that day.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 64:7 "And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee: for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities."

Everyone is born in unbelief. Everyone is born bent to unbelief, doubt, and sin. It is an inherited nature from the first Adam.

We continue our reading.

Isaiah 64:8 "But now, O LORD, thou art our father; we are the clay, and thou our potter; and we all are the work of thy hand."

He is the Potter, and we are the clay. Our Heavenly Father. formed us not in our mother's womb, but before the fall of Adam. We have been formed as bloodseeds in Adam.


We conclude our reading.

Isaiah 64:9-12 "Be not wroth very sore, O LORD, neither remember iniquity for ever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people. [10] Thy holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. [11] Our holy and our beautiful house, where our fathers praised thee, is burned up with fire: and all our pleasant things are laid waste. [12] Wilt thou refrain thyself for these things, O LORD? wilt thou hold thy peace, and afflict us very sore?"

Desolation and wilderness experience are the results of unbelief. Faith restores all the broken pieces.

Turn on your light of faith. BELIEVE and confess Jesus Christ, the second Adam, as we have revealed Him from the first Adam. Eyes have not seen, nor ears perceived, what God has in store for those, in Christ!
