Introduction
Have you ever seen a movie with your spouse, had a meal, visit relatives, met someone and afterwards were polar opposite in your opinions of said movie, person visit, etc?
Your overall perceptions were not even close
In the Bible, one of the best examples of this is found in Rev. Chapter 3. The Church of Laodicea
Dubious distinction of being the most recognized or the 7 Churches - for all the wrong reasons.
First - their perception of themselves
Revelation 3:17 (ESV)
For you say, I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing...
Now the reality of how God see’s them
Revelation 3:17 (ESV)
..not realizing that you are wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked.
Couple of other perception vs. reality
Many Do Not Accept the God of the Bible
Many do not see or accept the reality of things the way God see it - Why - because they don’t accept the God in the Bible
Here’s the argument: If God is out there, He wants people to believe in Him, and he want to save people because He’s all loving and caring and stuff - Then why is there not more evidence.
Why doesn’t God be more overt.
My answer is sure He can, He’s God.
He can appear every day on top of the Sears Tower and proclaim He’s God.
HE can make you levitate and have angels wake you up in every morning and put you to bed every night.
The claim that there needs to be more evidence assumes that there is not enough evidence.
This is false
A LACK OF EVIDENCE IS NOT THE PROBLEM
Recoil at the God of the Bible - why.
He’s a direct threat to their Godhood, their sovereignty, their feelings.
Refuse To Accept What We See in the Mirror
The Bible convicts what we see
The world applauds and praises what we see.
PERCEPTION
We Allow our Emotions to Leads us Rather than the Truth
Some think reality and perception are the same thing.
THEY ARE NOT
Perception - a physical sensation interpreted in the light of our personal experience.
This is an emotional response
Major problem today because people intermingle their perception with reality because they want their perception to be the truth, WHY, because it’s their truth.
One truth
One Light
One Jesus
One truth
And truth comes from Jesus.
NOT US
We are on a journey that everyone must take.
You can’t sit it out.
On this journey we call life, there are traps we cannot see, explosive mines we cannot detect, pit fall designed to trip you up and quicksand that is hidden that will swallow us up.
This prove that perception is not reality
We have a map
How you treat the map, will determine how you finish the journey.
The Enemy wants to distract you from the plan God has for your life.
Satan's ultimate strategy is to lead you off course but, thankfully, God has a strategy to keep you on track.
