Evangelist Franklin Graham is calling on Christians to participate in a day of fasting and prayer for our nation today. Graham, the president and CEO of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and of Samaritan's Purse , an international Christian relief organization, believes the church needs to call upon the name of God and ask for Him to move in this country. He stressed that our nation is facing multiple crises - from a pandemic to a turbulent presidential election, and widespread racial unrest. "I am urging followers of Jesus Christ to fast and to pray for our nation on SUNDAY, OCTOBER 25. Mark it on your calendars and prepare now. I hope individuals, families, and churches will join me in asking for the Lord's help and for His will to be done in this critical election. Will you?" Graham wrote on Facebook. ...

While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the
things which are not seen are eternal (2 Corinthians 4:18).
Man is primarily a spirit being; and the spirit has its inner senses.
But for most people, their inner senses are untrained. So, you find
that most are only used to what they can see and perceive in this
earth-realm, because they’ve only been trained to describe things with
their natural senses. How limiting that is!
Don’t live your life to the limits of your natural senses. God tells
us in His Word that there’s more than the human senses can comprehend.
He said, “…I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons
and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see
visions…” (Acts 2:17).
When He said the young men shall see visions, He was talking about the
ability to see beyond the ordinary; the ability to see with, and from
your spirit; your inner senses. That’s why they’re called visions,
because what you see at that realm, the natural man calls invisible.
Take young David’s encounter with Goliath for example. He was so sure
he could take down Goliath, even though others were afraid of him. Why?
He saw differently. He saw through the Word that the man, Goliath,
standing in front of him couldn’t in any way defeat the armies of
Isreal. So, he said, “…who is this uncircumcised Philistine…” (1 Samuel 17:26).
He saw what others couldn’t see, and that’s what we read in our theme
verse: we don’t look at the things which are obvious to the natural
eyes, for such things have no foundation.
Stop looking at how much you have in the bank. Stop looking at the
situation you’re in or what people are saying about you. See the
invisible! Train yourself to see beyond this world, beyond the walls and
the barriers. See through the Word. See by the Spirit, at a higher
level. Hallelujah!
The eyes of my understanding are flooded with light, causing me to see
the invisible, and energizing me for the impossible. My mind is anointed
to see what the ordinary eyes can’t see. I see glory, victory and
prosperity. I see beyond the walls and barriers. Praise God!

For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a
far more exceeding [and] eternal weight of glory; While we look not at
the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the
things which are seen [are] temporal; but the things which are not seen
[are] eternal.
Joshua 6:1-2
Now Jericho was straitly shut up because of the children of Israel:
none went out, and none came in. And the LORD said unto Joshua, See, I
have given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, [and] the
mighty men of valour.
Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
