A Sermon Delivered on Wednesday Evening, October 29th, 2025, byEvangelist PAUL ACQUAH,
Live on MZ Radio London, London UK.
In life, we’re surrounded by facts – numbers, reports, circumstances, and visible realities that compete daily for our attention. But beyond what the eyes can see, there’s another truth – a higher truth – that comes from the Word of God. Too often, we allow the physical truth to speak louder than the spiritual, and in doing so, we limit what God wants to reveal and release in our lives.This message is a divine reminder that faith was never meant to be ruled by sight. When we align our hearts with God’s Word instead of our circumstances, impossible things become possible. Are you ready to shift your focus from the limitations of the visible to the power of the invisible? Join us in today’s sermon titled “Spiritual Truth Over Physical Facts,” as we learn how to rise above human reasoning and embrace the power of spiritual truth that transforms what is seen by what is spoken from heaven. Be blessed as you listen!
There’re spiritual truths and physical truths. If we allow physical truth to dominate spiritual truth, we are hindering ourselves from receiving the good things God has for us. Some of us have allowed physical truth to dominate spiritual truth. Many times we discredit ourselves or become discouragedwhen it comes to understanding what it means to ask and receive, and to be seeking after something to find, and knocking for doors to be opened, and that’s exactly where the enemy wants us. Most of us are familiar with Matthew 7:7, which says, “Ask, and it shall be given you.” Seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened. However, when we don’t see an immediate manifestation to prayer, we try to rationalise that outcome by thinking ‘well, I suppose not everyone receives’. But that’s not scriptural because the next verse says, “For every one that asks receives” (Matt. 7:8).
The problem is most of us don’t really believe this scripture. We lose our excitement in the Word and don’t expect it to work like that. Have you prayed and thought your prayers are not being answered or it seems your prayers are unanswered? Most of us have had times when we have prayed a prayer of faith, and our prayers seemed to go unanswered. Maybe you got into the Word of God, planted a seed, prayed for a miracle, and then nothing happened. The problem is that many people stop believing at that moment. God’s Word says in Mark 11:24, “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” This scripture illustrates that believing that you have received when you pray, is a crucial part of receiving from the Lord. Jesus made it very clear that you would have the things that you desired of the Lord if you believe that you have received when you pray. This is a spiritual truth, and it applies to all believers believing and receiving their desires.
This is where most Christians stumble. The Bible says to believe when you pray that you have received what you desired. You haven’t seen the physical manifestation of the results, but the bible says believe that you have received. That’s the spiritual truth. Physical truth is based on only what we can see, taste, hear, smell, or feel. But Jesus is saying that the believing that is required has to be done “when you pray,” while the thing you desire “shall” come to pass in the future. This might be only an instant or even a longer period of time, but the word “shall” signifies future tense. “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Galatians 20:20).
So we have God’s kind of faith that enables us to believe in things that cannot be seen. The spiritual truth is that God calls those things which do not exist as though they did (Romans 4:17)”. In Mark 11:24, Jesus was making this God-kind of faith a prerequisite to receiving answers to prayer. You must believe that you receive your answer “when you pray,” not when you see the thing you’ve desired, and that’s the spiritual truth.
Some people say it’s a lie to speak that you’re healed when you don’t feel healed, but that’s operating only by your five senses. That’s when you are dominated by You have to walk in the spirit. There are spiritual realities. John 6:63 says It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. The Bible is spiritual truth. We are limited when we only think in the physical realm. Just because you can’t see it doesn’t mean God didn’t do it. God always answers when you pray according to His will. When God answers your prayer, He gives it to you in spiritual form. If you ask for finances, God releases the spiritual power to produce those finances. If you pray for healing, He gives it to you in spiritual form. God’s operation ends in the spiritual realm, independent of you. Faith is the key that brings the answer into the physical realm. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Heb. 11:1). Your faith brings what God has accomplished into physical reality. God gives it to you in the spirit, then faith brings it into the physical realm.
Many times believers think God hasn’t answered their prayer because they can’t perceive it in the physical realm. But you must believe something is happening beyond your five senses. If you don’t believe it until you see it, you won’t receive from God. Yes, it’s true that you haven’t seen the physical manifestation of the answer but don’t let physical truth dominate spiritual truth. The Bible says you must believe you receive when you pray (Mark 11:24).
There’s a physical world and spiritual world and your faith can bring what’s in the spiritual realm to the physical realm. The spiritual truth is that the Lord moves instantly to answer our prayers that meet His qualifications. The Lord moves straightaway to answer our prayers if we ask in faith (Matthew 21:22 and Mark 11:24) , or if we ask without wavering (James 1:5-7). And We must ask according to God’s will (1 John 5:14-15). But He moves in the spiritual realm; His workings are not always immediately evident to our physical senses. By faith, we must believe that He is answering our prayers before we see any physical evidence. If we fail to believe until we see something, then that is not faith (2 Corinthians 5:7) but rather doubt, and it will cause us not to receive the things that we desired of the Lord (James 1:5-7). Faith is our evidence (Hebrews 11:1), not what we see.
Some of you may think you don’t have enough faith to believe for a miracle. The truth is that you can’t get any more faith than you already have because God has given you enough faith to believe. Romans 12:3 says that God has dealt to every man the measure of faith. God gave us all the same measure of faith.Faith as small as mustard seed is all you need, because that faith moves mountains. In Galatians 2:20, Paul said, “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” Right there Paul said that he uses the faith of Jesus. That means you have the same amount of faith that Jesus has. That should be enough.
