The Anointing of Awareness: Seeing the Invisible to Do the Impossible

Have you ever wondered why some prayers seem to shift the atmosphere instantly, while others feel like they are hitting a brass ceiling? We often mistake spiritual power for a loud voice or a forceful emotion, but true dominion begins with a quiet shift in vision. We live in a world that clamors for us to focus on the visible—the diagnosis, the bank balance, the conflict—yet the miraculous is only accessed when we learn to look past the physical facts to the spiritual truth. This devotional invites you to step into the “anointing of awareness,” a place where seeing the invisible reality of God’s presence empowers you to do the impossible in your daily life.

From the Arm of Flesh to the Secret Place of the Most High

In a world that constantly clamors for our attention through the noise of physical events and mental anxieties, it is all too easy to seek solutions on the same level as our problems. We look to science, medicine, or human logic to fix what feels broken, often forgetting that the true source of wholeness lies not in the external but in the internal realization of God’s redemptive working and presence. The Father today invites you to step away from the reliance on the “arm of flesh” and step into the secret place of the Most High, where the Spirit of the Lord brings true reconciliation, healing, and the revelation that we are one with the Father.

Discernment of Spiritual Values Over Fleshly Power

We live in a time where there must be an increase in our awareness, a sharpening of our ability to discern spiritual values in contrast to the mental and physical exertions of the world. Too often, humanity seeks healing, health, and stability through pharmaceutical means, medical science, or even the metaphysics of the human mind. While these things have their place on a human plane, they are ultimately limited. On a spiritual level, we must realize that in God, nothing needs to be corrected or healed, because He is already the fullness of all things to us. We don’t need God to “do” anything; we need to enter into mentally and spiritually who He “is.” We must move beyond the “animal magnetism” of fleshly powers and anchor ourselves in the Spirit.

“It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” — John 6:63 (KJV)

This verse underscores the futility of relying solely on the flesh or human ability to produce life. When we understand that the Spirit is the only quickening agent—the only source of true vitality—we stop striving to fix the “outer man” through external means and instead allow the words of Christ, which are Spirit and Life, to manifest the perfection that is already established in Heaven.

The Light of Awareness in a Dark World

We are called to be ministers of reconciliation, bringing a sense of contentment and peace to a world rife with suffering, war, and turmoil. However, this is not achieved by merely watching the news and despairing, nor by arguing with others to convince them of God’s love. We are placed here as a city set on a hill, a light that cannot be hid. True ministry is not about what we say, but about the consciousness we develop through exposure to the raw, awesome, real presence of God on the inside of us through the work of the Cross. When we develop a consciousness that knows God is the ultimate power and the only power that matters —a loving, present power—realizing this (the Bible calls it believing), we become a light that transforms the environment without a word being spoken.

“Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.” — Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)

The scripture reminds us that our primary function is simply to shine. When we attempt to force the knowledge of God upon others through debate or mental persuasion, we hide the true light under a bushel of human effort. Instead, by abiding in the awareness of our union with the Father, we naturally radiate a presence that others can feel—a presence that brings glory to God and healing to the observer.

The Secret Place of Recognition

True spiritual effectiveness is found in the secret place. Whether we are faced with the tragedy of loss, the pain of separation, or physical limitations, the answer lies in withdrawing within ourselves to recognize the truth. We must recognize that nothing can ever be truly lost in God’s economy and that nothing can be separated from His love. It is not by power, nor by might, but by the recognition of God’s presence that restoration occurs. This work is done in secret, not shouted from the rooftops to gain accolades. It is an internal movement of faith that dissolves the problem by acknowledging the supremacy of God’s love and God’s power in the situation, because God is localized in you by His indwelling Spirit, which Jesus sent down to be our Comforter and Helper.

“For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” — Romans 8:38-39 (KJV)

This passage is the bedrock of our confidence in prayer. When we face situations that scream of loss or separation, we anchor ourselves in this truth: absolutely nothing can sever the connection between the Creator and His creation. By holding to this persuasion in our quiet moments of intercession, we manifest restoration in the visible world.

The Living Word Versus the Written Letter

There is a profound difference between having a zeal for God based on religious tradition and possessing true knowledge based on spiritual hearing. Many have a zeal that is not according to knowledge; they worship a concept of God rather than experiencing the living Reality. The “letter” of the Word—the mere written text—is given for reproof and correction, but if we stop there, the letter kills. The true inspiration comes from the Logos, the living Word that was in the beginning with God. We must learn to hear the Rhema—the specific, spoken word of light within our hearts—rather than relying on a static interpretation of scripture that keeps us bound to legalism and judgment.

“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.” — 2 Corinthians 3:6 (KJV)

Here, the Apostle Paul distinguishes between the deadly nature of legalistic observance and the life-giving nature of the Spirit. When we read scripture, we must seek the Spirit behind the text. The letter may correct our doctrine, but only the Spirit can reveal the Christ within, transforming the text from a rulebook into a revelation of our oneness with God.

The Righteousness of Faith and Spiritual Supply

We do not need to ascend to heaven to bring Christ down, nor descend into the deep to bring Him up. The Word is nigh us, even in our mouths and in our hearts. This is the righteousness of faith. True spiritual supply—whether it be money, health, or protection—is not something we beg a distant God for. It is the result of recognizing that God is a very present help in time of need. Supply is the natural outflow of the presence of God recognized and acknowledged. When we stop judging by appearances and start speaking the word of faith that is already within us, the “earth melts” and problems dissolve.

“But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.” — Romans 10:8-9 (KJV)

This scripture confirms that salvation—which includes preservation, healing, and deliverance—is activated by the confession of faith that rises from the heart. We do not look for a savior to come from an external concentration of His power or presence; rather, we recognize the Savior who dwells within. By confessing the Lordship of this inner Spirit, we align ourselves with the power that raised Christ from the dead, bringing that same resurrection life into our current circumstances.

Ministering the Gift of Wholeness

Finally, as we walk in this awareness, we become conduits of God’s power to others. We do not judge those caught in sin or sickness; we do not accuse them, for accusation is the nature of the enemy. Instead, we look at the lame, the broken, and the hurting, and we realize that we possess something greater than silver or gold. We possess the awareness of perfection. We say, “Such as I have, give I thee,” and we extend the gift of wholeness. We see them as God sees them—perfect, whole, and complete—and in that non-judgmental vision, healing occurs.

“Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” — Acts 3:6 (KJV)

Peter did not offer a physical remedy or financial aid; he offered the reality of the Christ he carried within. This verse connects the previous concepts to action: once we have recognized the Spirit within, avoided the trap of the letter, and secured our confidence in the secret place, we are empowered to give that same life to others. We give what we have—a realized consciousness of God’s power.

Reflection and Review

The journey from a mental concept of God to a living spiritual reality requires us to abandon our reliance on external fixes and religious legalism. We have learned that true power is not found in the noise of the world or the arguments of theology, but in the quiet recognition of God’s omnipresence. By distinguishing between the “letter that kills” and the “Spirit that gives life,” we open ourselves to the Rhema word—the specific insight from God that brings faith. Ultimately, our role is not to judge the world but to hold it in the light of Truth, recognizing that nothing is lost in God and that His supply is ever-present. When we withdraw to the secret place and align with the Father, we become open vessels through which healing and restoration flow to a broken world.

Call to Action

• Withdraw to the Secret Place: Make a daily practice of silencing the noise of the news and the world to commune with the Father in secret, recognizing His presence as the only power.

• Seek the Spirit Behind the Letter: Do not just read the Bible for intellectual knowledge; ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the Logos (the Living Word) that brings life and revelation to your specific situation.

• Practice Non-Judgment: When you see sin, sickness, or failure in others, refuse the urge to accuse. Instead, forgive and hold them in the light of God’s perfection.

• Confess the Word Within: Stop begging a distant God for help. Acknowledge that the Word is nigh you, in your mouth and heart, and speak that word of faith over your circumstances.

• Give What You Have: Walk with the confidence that you carry the Kingdom of God within you. When you encounter a need, release the awareness of God’s wholeness, saying, “Such as I have, give I thee.”

Let’s Pray Together

“Father, we chose to withdraw now from the noise of the world and the reports of the senses to rest in the silence of Your presence. We ask that the eyes of my understanding be enlightened, that we may look past the ephemeral, transient nature of lack, sickness, and fear, and behold the finished work of Christ established within us. We cease from my own striving and receive the anointing of awareness—the deep knowing that You are the only Power and the only Presence that matters. Let this truth dissolve every problem and manifest Your glory in our lives and in the lives of those I encounter today. I thank You that the impossible is made possible through Your Spirit living in us. In the name of Jesus, Amen.”
