Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed (John 20:29).
The word “blessed” in the verse above is the Greek “makarios,” and it
means, “To be supremely blessed.” It’s a transcendental blessing. It means
you’ve been lifted beyond the ordinary realm. The believing ones are
independent of circumstances. They’ve been lifted to another level. “Makarios”
isn’t a bestowal, but a lifting. It’s a blessing of separation. You can be
blessed as in “eulogeo,” that is, things are conferred on you, but in
“makarios,” you’re separated; you’re lifted; then others take special notice of
you and say, “He’s supremely blessed; he’s not like us; he doesn’t belong
here.” What a blessing!
This is something totally new coming from the Master about the new
creation. He says, “Blessed are those who have not seen but yet believed.” He’s
referring to those who have been freed from their senses or the flesh. This was
the message that Paul was able to grasp which many of the disciples couldn’t
quite comprehend. He tells us in Romans 8:1, “There is therefore now no
condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh,
but after the Spirit.” This, in other words, refers to the Church that lives in
the world, but has been transported beyond this realm of human limitations; the
sense-realm.
This theme is further expressed in the Spirit’s prayer through Paul for
the Church in Ephesians 3:16-17, “That he would grant you, according to the
riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner
man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith….” Christ dwells in your
heart by faith, not by feeling or sensory perception. We’re not like those who
say, “I feel the presence of God in me now;” no! We’ve passed that level! We’ve
been transported (“Makarios”) beyond that realm. We’ve been catapulted by faith
into the realm of existence where the Word of God is the only reality; the
realm where we walk by faith and not by sight. This is the new creation; we’re
supremely blessed! Hallelujah!
PRAYER
I thank you, righteous Father, for blessing me beyond measure and transporting
me into the realm where there’re no limitations. I walk by faith and not by
sight; I live in, and by the Word only. I proclaim that all spiritual blessings
in heavenly places are mine, and I walk in victory, righteousness, and dominion
forever, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
