How real is the spiritual realm?
My lawyer friend from Nigeria tells a personal story of how he was
preparing for an important case. He knew that he must be
prepared to argue five separate points. He was to appear
before his country's supreme court, so it was a very important
case.
As he neared the time in which he was to go to court, he began to
pray about how he was to argue the case. He spent much time
in legal preparation and intercessory prayer.
As he went to court, the Spirit spoke to him and said, "Do
not argue point one, point two, point three, or point four. Only
argue point five." Imagine my friend's struggle of faith.
If he were reading this wrong, the shame and professional fallout
would be devastating.
The time had come to present the case before the judge when my
friend said, "Judge, I wish to withdraw points one through
four. I wish to argue only point five."
The opposing counsel stood up and objected. "Your honor, he
cannot do that!"
"Objection overruled, counsel," said the judge.
My friend went on to present his case around point five only, and
then sat down. When the opposing counsel stood to present
his case, he stood speechless for 12 minutes.
He could not get a word out of his mouth. He finally mumbled
a few words and complained to the judge that he was going to have
to yield. It seems that the opposing counsel had prepared to
argue only points one through four, but failed to prepare for
point five. The judge ruled in favor of my friend.
The unseen Lord wants to help us in the physical realm of our work
life. We must acknowledge His presence and tap into this
incredible resource He has given to each of us.
Seek Him today and ask Him to reveal His perfect plan for you this
day.
