2 Corinthians 4:17-18 -"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."

If we live according to the crisis of the moment, we will never step into the future. As long as we focus on the circumstances that are at hand, we will never be able to walk into the greater weight of glory that is trying to come forth from our lives. However, as we focus on God's purpose for our life (our calling in Christ), those glimpses of the future, it will work an even greater weight of glory in us. Stop living in past glories!

"Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it?" - Isaiah 43:19

Whenever God would say to one of His prophets, "Behold," He was telling them to see into the future! In the above Scripture, He was saying, "See" I am going to do something new. Then He asks, "...shall you not know it?"
See the future and live like you are there, not like you are still bound by your circumstances.
All of the fathers of the faith in Hebrews 11 lived their lives by the future that they saw in the now.

Hebrews 11:1 - "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."

Notice it says "now faith is."
When you live in the now like you are in the future, it becomes the "substance" of what you are seeing. Your faith doesn't become tangible until you act like it is the truth in the here and now! In other words, THERE IS NO "EVIDENCE" UNTIL YOU LIVE LIKE IT.
