Romans 9:8 says, "...They which are the

 

children of the flesh, these are not the

 

children of God...." The children of the

 

flesh are those who are ruled by their

 

senses. Instead of walking by faith, they

 

walk by sensory perceptions; regulated in

 

life only by that which they can physically

 

see, hear, touch, taste, or smell. However, Christianity is

 

a walk of faith; it’s life beyond the senses.

 

God is a Spirit; and spiritual realities can’t be perceived

 

with human senses. This is the reason the natural man

 

can’t comprehend the things of the Spirit; they’re

 

foolishness to him (1 Corinthians 2:14). He can only

 

relate to what his physical senses perceive; like those

 

who say, "Seeing is believing." That’s the language of the

 

children of the flesh; and the Bible says, "…they that

 

are in the flesh cannot please God" (Romans 8:!(https://www.nairaland.com/grid/cool.png/3).

 

Read the Apostle Paul’s submission in 2 Corinthians 5:7

 

AMP: "For we walk by faith \[we regulate our lives and

 

conduct ourselves by our conviction or belief respecting

 

man’s relationship to God and divine things, with trust

 

and holy fervour; thus we walk\] not by sight or

 

appearance." The teachings of the Lord Jesus on the

 

subject of faith were unequivocal; He didn’t say "seeing

 

is believing," rather, He always said, "If you believe, you

 

would see…." That was His response to Martha’s

 

unbelief in John 11:40; He said, "…if thou wouldest

 

believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"

 

Notice the order: you believe to see; that’s faith—

 

calling real that which the physical senses can’t perceive.

 

Hebrews 11:1AMP says, "NOW FAITH is the assurance

 

(the confirmation, the title deed) of the things

 

hope for, being the proof of things do not see and

 

the conviction of their reality \[faith perceiving as real

 

fact what is not revealed to the senses\]." Hebrew 11:6

 

then tells us that without faith it’s impossible to please

 

God. This means you can’t please God until you’ve learnt

 

to apprehend and call real, things that your physical

 

senses can’t perceive, but are revealed in God’s Word.

 

Walking in the faith-realm means you take God’s Word

 

as final authority, and live accordingly, irrespective of

 

physical or sensory pieces of evidence. Thus, it makes no

 

difference how you "feel," what you "hear" or "see";

 

live beyond the senses; keep declaring the Word of

 

faith.
