Hi there, I'm Gabrielle Friesman and I feel so honored and privileged to be able to come
on here today and share a word that I feel like the Lord has placed on my heart.
So we'll just dive right in.
We're going to start with a verse, 2 Corinthians 4.18.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
There's been a line in my spirit, a theme that God has given me, and it goes along the
lines, there's more than what meets the eye.
Our culture today is very quick to show what's on the outside, to show what looks good, whether
that be home decor, whether that be fashion, whether that be their life in general, the
highlight reel.
That's what we hear.
But how often do we talk about and we share the unseen, the supernatural, what's going
on in the spirit realm?
And I want to stir that in you today, all of the things that God is up to in the spirit
realm.
I was sitting on a plane a couple weeks ago and I was looking out the window, and I don't
know if you've sat on a plane before, next to another plane, it is incredible to look
at the plane.
It's just ginormous.
I was sitting next to one and I was just studying it and I'm like, wow, that's a big plane.
Then I look further down on the plane that I was looking at, and at the nose of the plane,
I see this little tractor.
And I don't know if you've seen it before, but it's technically called an aircraft pushback
tractor, the things you'll learn on Google.
And I saw this little dot in that tractor and it ended up being a human being.
And I was like, okay, hold on, does he understand what he is pushing?
Like from his perspective, all he's seeing is the nose of the plane.
But what from my perspective, it was ginormous.
I was asking myself, does he understand the amount of people he is pushing?
And I don't know if you've seen it before, but the tractor, and it's really small in
comparison to the big old plane, actually has the ability to move the plane where it
needs to go on the ground.
And God really just revealed this to me.
It's a great analogy of who we are as believers in this earth and what he is up to in our
everyday life is that sometimes all we see is the nose of the plane, so to speak.
Maybe you're a mom.
Maybe you change those diapers all the time, or maybe you are a full-time employee and
you feel like your tasks are just, oh, just you're going through the motions, or maybe
you're a spouse and you're just really serving your husband or wife all the time.
And sometimes all we see is the nose of the plane, like, Lord, why, why am I doing this?
Why, what, what impact does this really have?
Oh, but from heaven's perspective, the weight that you are pushing is absolutely incredible.
The amount of people, the amount of generations you are affecting is incredible.
And I truly believe we'll get to heaven one day and God will give us that play-by-play
or at least share with us all the things that we impacted and that we just really made a
difference in this world.
Here's another verse that I want to share, Matthew 6, 19, 21.
Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth where moth and rust destroy and where
thieves break in and steal.
For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Again, the Word teaches us we are not laying things up in this superficial, this super
official, this natural world that we're living in.
We're not laying up treasures for that.
We're laying up treasures for heaven, for things that are awaiting us, for the eternity.
When you look into the Bible, how many characters in the Bible were driven by the unseen?
So many.
You got Noah, who was building that ark.
Did he see the flood?
No, but he was driven by what the Lord said, what was going to happen.
There was an unseen obedience.
There was unseen things that God was warning him about, that he was telling him about,
and he decided to build that ark.
Mary, she never met Jesus, but an angel came and said, you will have a son and his name
will be Jesus.
She never met Jesus.
She didn't know all that he was going to accomplish, but once again, she was driven by the unseen.
So all that to say.
is I just wanna encourage you and just ask the Lord,
God, what is the unseen in my life?
What are the things that you are calling me to do?
And what I love about what the guy was doing
in the tractor with the airplane is he was seated,
he was at rest, he was letting that machine
move something greater than him.
And I encourage you with that today.
There's no striving, God's already won.
He's given you the grace, his grace is sufficient
and you can accomplish all that he has called you
to accomplish by the gift of grace.
So I just encourage you with that today.
Ask God, God, what are you up to in the unseen?
What are you asking me to do that's gonna have
a bigger impact than I could ever imagine?
I hope that encouraged you today
and I hope you have a great rest of your week.
See you tomorrow.
Bye-bye.
Be well.
Amen.
