Christ, Out Life Ministries’ Scriptural Basis pt29 by Sylvia Pearce Programs 29 & 30 Seeing With the Single Eye of Faith: “The Father’s cup shall I not drink it” Matt. 6:22-23—“If thine eye be single, thy whole body is full of light. Matt. 5:8—“Blessed are the pure in heart.” Titus 5:18—“To the pure all things are pure.” 1 Thes. 5:18—“In everything give thanks.” Eph. 1:11—“Him who works all things after the council of his own will.” Job. 1:8—God said to Satan, “Have you considered my Servant Job?” 2 Cor. 4:6—“God commanded the light to shine out of darkness.” Rom. 4:17—“Call the things that be not as though They already were.” Zeph 3:15—“We shall not see evil anymore.” Dan. 4:17—“Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men” Rom. 13:1—“No power but God” We see through evil (devil) to God and His eternal plan behind it. I don’t deny evil, but see that God means evil and utilizes it for His redemptive purposes. (Acts 2:23; 4:27-28) The devils Cross is God’s gain! John 19:11, Romans 13:1 and Dan. 4:32 From negative double seeing to seeing only one power in the universe. I believe that “God only” is the perspective that Jesus was talking about in the Sermon on the Mount when he says that the single eye is the view point that floods our bodies with light? The secret of seeing God only does, joins our divided consciousness and fills our whole body full of light. While seeing two equal powers in competition with one another fills our bodies with darkness, and as the scriptures says “how great is that darkness” (Matt. 6:22-23). When Jesus was brought to the governor’s palace right before the crucifixion, He was subjected to Pilate’s bragging, “I have power to crucify you, and I have the power to release you?” Jesus declared back to him “Thou could have no power at all against me, except it were given thee from above” (John 19:10-11). What? Jesus, you mean that Pilate does not have the supreme separate evil power to crucify you? Then does that mean that God is the one and only power that dictates to and controls all evil dominions, principalities and powers? If Pilate had no power over the most evil event in all of history, then all subsequent historical events have no independent power of their own either. There is only one power in the universe, and it is God Almighty, Himself. “I am the Lord, and there is none else” (Isaiah 45:6) (49:9-19); (49:12). Pretty exclusive isn’t it? There is only one independent life source in the whole universe, and it is God Himself. Then it must be a lie if Satan or man falsely think that they independently have their own life source. Since the Creator is the one independent person in the universe then what is creation, and what is its purpose? Man, the heavenly host, as well as all created things whether animal, vegetable, or mineral are only a container/vessel of the life of God and do not contain their own life. “Oh no,” you say, “this is pantheism.” “Are you saying that the rock is God?” No, no, God forbid that I should say that. If that were true we would worship the created form and not the Creator, God. The creation only exist to express its Creator, but not be the Creator. Then, of course it is only man who contains the very personhood of God, and not inanimate things. Things have their existence in God, but not his personhood, that He has reserved for mankind who are created in His image. So then, all creation was created to contain and express the glory and majesty of Almighty God, but it was not created to independently be that glory. A Personal Word Personally when I began to see God Only in all my life’s circumstances, good as well as evil, it unified my divided consciousness and brought great peace in me. My one thought now when all hell breaks out, which it often does, is to say, “Well God, what are you up to?” Seeing God on the front end of all my troubles is so freeing. It ends up being an adventure that transforms the adversity into great joy. That does not mean that my soul doesn’t agonize, for it does, but through my soulish pain, I see a God who can do nothing but good to every aspect in my life…in my families lives…and in my ministry. Now most often His good comes in devilish distorted clothing, and if I stumble at the outer appearances, I will miss His blessings, or maybe just prolong it anyway. Seeing God Only keeps me inwardly steady no matter what is happening outwardly. Seeing God Only brings us wholeness, oneness and an eternal rest unto our souls. Yet, none of us start off see God only, for we all start off sinful, divided, partial, struggling, eating from the tree of good and evil, and not at all in peace and rest. Hasn’t mankind fallen into this illusionary division through the deception of Satan? And if we now see God only, does that mean that we just deny Satan’s existence? Let me quote severa
