The Power of Divine Perspective

Against the societal Norms or even against our own knowledge of what we've already experienced are the things that we know a bill comes in the mail. We know how much money we have in the bank. So the knowledge of what's in the bank sometimes when supersedes and knowledgeable guy that said, which is that he will supply all of my needs according to his riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah.

Sometimes the norm will have us look at the fact of even, you know, I can't get to where I'm at and I don't know because everything has had this happen to them, but I have money in my. And couldn't get to the bank at the time. And I needed to have something paid that day, which required me, to be able to pay it by a card, and then or some other electronic me, because everything is gone. Digital So, be getting in the car and taking a check to an office with necessarily help me, but being able to pay it on the weekend when the bank is closed, doesn't help me either. Unless I'm able to get the cash money in the account, is going to be credited that that anybody ever experienced that. Okay, well I have and in this situation there's nothing but God that can move the deadline. Create a situation that will cause the wait time to be different, a man, or for that matter, fix it so that someone else could have because my transition from being able to get back into society. When I have been away for five years, was not the same as a lot of people. Some people have family members that can do certain things, and I wasn't there. I wasn't in that situation at the time I was too far away. I was in a position where you, where, for the most part I was by myself, Avenue Traverse, this thing, having to get credited to having to get new bank accounts. Again, all of those things, I have experienced that so I can speak on that because I know that that is a real experience. They have different experiences that it may not be just the same, but they terminated the same way having to depend and Trust on the god that made us. The guy that sees the end at the beginning of Hitman, Hallelujah, glory to take into account. God's perspective is absolutely crucial. Because his thoughts are not our thoughts and neither are his ways are ways. He thinks about things differently than we do cuz he knows the end of the game. Hey man, we're at the beginning. We just for the pieces. Hallelujah, but God already understands what it's going to be so he has the ability to give us a play-by-play. That's why we have. Holy Spirit helps us to do what shift our perspective to God's perspective and man, Hallelujah. We have to challenge ourselves to embrace transformation. Some people like living in with issues? Have you ever met any person that every time you talk to them, something's wrong. There's always a problem. There's always an issue. There's never anything that's going, right? God has never done anything or doing anything to help them to get anywhere everything revolves around them. And there is shoes and every person that comes in contact with them, they love them in light of what they can do to help them with their issue. I don't know if you know anybody like that but I've met a few and what I'm saying to you that we have to get beyond that stage.

We have to get to a point of where everything is not surrounding us. That we are becoming more aligned with God's principles and such a way that we become transformed. the Romans 12:2 scripture that we read earlier talks about us being renewed, Okay, and I Minds being transformed creates a difference. It's a new experience. Amen. And you have to challenge yourself to embrace that transformation. Anybody tired of being mundane and you want to be challenged to do something different and Men. Hallelujah. So we're going to be challenged to embrace transformation. Let's read the scripture. John 15:5. It says I am the vine, you are the branches, whoever abide in me and I in him he it is that there's much room for apart from me, you can do nothing. Hallelujah. we mentioned last week when we were in a circle in the thermostat to be talked about being separated from the vine and what that does when you're separated When you're separated, you feel alone. When you're separated. You are literally at Bay for the enemy. Can do all kinds of things to attack your mind. To drive your spirit down. To make you feel like nobody thinks about you, nobody caring about what you're dealing with, which is the reason why some of those people who you, I spoke up earlier that maybe, you know, maybe I know that always has a problem. They always got an issue, everything revolves about them. A lot of that has to do with the separated from the Vine. Cuz I feel alone. So the only way they feel that they can actually be a part is to always have a reason for people to involve themselves with them. I am telling you that transformation is a challenging process but it is essential for spiritual growth. You have to be moved from where you are. God says he wants you to be. And that can only happened by being transformed. Hallelujah.

I want you to go with me to 2nd Corinthians 3:18.

I don't have enough this on the screen but I'll read it. Hallelujah. It says, and we are who was unveiled. Faces contemplate, the Lord's Glory. Are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing Glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the spirit? Let me read that one more time and we all who was unveiled, faces contemplate, the Lord's, Glory are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing Glory, which comes from the Lord. Who is the spirit The holy spirit is the holy spirit of God is not a separate Spirit of someone else. He's a holy spirit of God, and he is the one who is causing you to become transformed. All of us are being transformed over time. It is not an instant thing. I was so blessed by something that brother very said in in our Bible study a few weeks ago and talked about that he desires he wants to be Transformed by God. He wants to Spirit to be transformed by God so that he can be all that God wants him to be. Is that a dog for you that you would to be transformed? You want to be lifted up into a different place than where you are. Now, you don't want to always have a sad song to sing. It always need help. You want to be able to feed the Helper and some point where you add the ability to help others, in lift others up, and cause them to do the things and be the way that God intended for them to be. Call me when you Embrace transformation you allow God to mold you into his image and lead you into his ever-increasing another. Why is a Life Learning approach? It is a lifelong growing approached. You are always increasing in the glory that God allows you to have because of you. Amen. Hallelujah.

Do we have to challenge ourselves to align with God's will? This sometimes is that a difficult one because we have ideas of what we want our life to look like we have things that we wanted it to be about and sometimes those things don't always align with God's will, but he has sometimes been the thing that you are thinking about. You want to do what God wants you to do, but you also have these other things that you have on your agenda. Your bucket list is some people have heard call it. Things you want to do before you die. And I've come to understand that the older I become, the more I am so digging into scripture in the more that I'm getting closer than close. I'm going to go get into a place of where some of those things that I thought were really important for me to do between now. And and when I go home to be with the Lord, the clothes and I have an idea, the less those things matter. I am so serious, some of that stuff. I'm like I don't even know why I wanted to do that. Because they have no Eternal significant. I would just say that with me. Have eternal significance with your plans. Several have eternal significance with your plans when you plan to do something. Measuring up to what internal significance does. This have others in the future? How does this help anybody get closer to God?

I was in a situation where we were watching some Vince watching some movies. Movies on demand show, and at the end of, I guess a couple hours of something rose up in 2 minutes, 2 hours, more to spend watching TV. I just have too many things internally that are significant and accept the fact that I was doing it with my husband trust and believe, I would have turned it off, right? Then. But I was spending time with him and that was what he wanted to do it. So I was like, okay, I'm going to sit here and watch this because it's what I'm doing it because I'm being with him. But in my spirit, I was at who is soon as this is over. I have some things to do. Amen. Hallelujah. Because it is important for us to understand that we have no moments to waste. None. Hallelujah. Their points of those moments is that I was with him beyond that. I have no moments. Grace. God was nothing and especially not time. Amen. Hallelujah. When you are challenging yourself to align with God's will. You thinking about his will being done. This with me, Matthew 6:10 your kingdom come your will be done on Earth as it is in heaven. This is an excerpt of the prayer that your shoe a used as a model. To teach the disciples how to pray before they ask. Teaches how to pray. B o x. A was one that I was like with when they really caught, I caught hold of it. Some years ago. The purpose. Bet, it sure did some of the things that he did was so that it would be honored as it is. It is as it is in heaven. Now in some translations, it says in Earth. Right? And I know that it's asking me or not because I study I don't know what you know about this but I can say this and most of us were made from what BS. The dust of the ground. So when we're looking at the kingdom of God, God, coming and it will being done as much as it is, that we want to make it in the Terra Firma in the ground in the earth that we're looking at. So many time, we need to pay attention to the fact that it's in US. That the kingdom is coming because he said, the kingdom of God is within you. Hallelujah. Senior mixed in the midst of us. He lives in a Hallelujah. Where where is Israel together? We are corporately here and as God is living, and everyone of us, where is he? He's in the midst of us. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. One of the most significant challenges that we face is Believers as Kingdom citizens is aligning. Our desires with God's will.

We are called to pray and the strive for being a kingdom citizen. When we live in a citizenship of this earth round that sometimes does not align at all. With Kingdom values. But it is important for you to realize that when you are aligned with the will of my father with drew a line with a kingdom goals and for what it is, and should be happening in the earth's realm, it brings about a manifestation of Kingdom on the Earth. We are the thought of your that's what Jesus said. And we sprinkled in here in between all of this other stuff so that we can effectively what happens when you put yeast in. Do does one piece of the dough rise. How much of it rises the whole thing when we are in the earth realm and we are operating as Kingdom citizens doing the bidding of the father, having higher way than I ever thought of the father, guess what happened. An insect everything that we do.

Exponential growth. In the midst of suffering. And if you're growing, guess what else has happened? The corporate group of people that you're around. We'll begin to grow as well. Don't feel like you're one little bitty thing. Did you do the phone affect the whole group? That is not what scripture teaches that is not. What is? I happen to know that if I throw certain kinds of seeds over in my garden turn, they sprinkled all over the place. Guess what's going to happen? That kind of fruit is going to come up everywhere. In that whole bed whenever that seed went Amen. In the same way we've come up sometime and it chokes out everything because it spread all over. You need to be aware that your influence is important and you need to be able to manage your influence for Kingdom sake. Amen. Hallelujah.

You need to challenge yourself to reject worldly patterns.

That this is really important.

Let's read first John. How do we defeat slap Tyrese profusion 28. We're at this last week. For by Grace, you have been saved through faith, and this is not of your own doing. It is a gift of God, not a result of work so that no one can boast. I want you to see something different that we saw last week. When we read the scripture, I want you to understand that because you've received this as a gift. And you didn't create it yourself, you didn't buy it, you have a responsibility to pass it on. Hallelujah. But as you are rejecting the world in patterns and operating in the patterns of kingdom that is your way of passing on Kingdom reality. That is your way of getting God and the Earth in a way that is effective to begin a process that the kingdom overcome to make the Earth like heaven, which is what Jesus himself intended, amen. Hallelujah. The world offers a variety of patterns structures that you can be tempted to follow. I mean you can go on the internet and you can go all on Facebook and Instagram and what is a Twitter at this new thing? That's better has not called thread. And you can find all kinds of wonderful ideas of how to live life that don't include. But they are very well-crafted. They look great and sound good. If they have some up and have nothing whatsoever to do with living Godly going to heaven, and trying to take anybody with you. Why you doing it? Amen, it's just more stuff. Our minds can think of, you know, people who are smart, they have a tendency to create things.

God made us that way. He made us to be creative beans because that's how he's made. He gave us that ability to create these people who have, you know, these ideas come up with all kinds of the recipe for this in the recipe, for that five steps to this 10 steps to that the keys to this. And this to know, the way to get to hear in the way to get to their all of those different things can become a course. It could become a YouTube video and can become everything now. And people are following after many of these things, which have nothing whatsoever to do with the Kingdom Agenda. I want you to challenge yourself to reject worldly patterns, things that are opposed. I mean, I'm time I diametrically opposed to What God Says, 1st John 2:15 says, do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love the Father, the love of the father or love for the father is not in them that one more time.

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the father is not in them.

We're called to reject all the patterns in favor of Kingdom. Remember I talked about if I said there was a nickname for the sermon, I would call a kingdom over timing choosing Kingdom. Over the common things is really important. It's a continuous challenge. It requires a diligent effort and spiritual discernment, but it's something that we need to do.

The life of Paul serves as a powerful Testament to these challenges. Paul, we knew was a prosecutor of the followers of the way, the followers of Yeshua. He?

Not only prosecuted them, he killed people thinking he was doing the right thing.

And interesting Lee enough.

He was a bold foreclaimer of his own Gospel things that he thought he should be doing. You looking for on the screen, I have asked 91222 Ostrom because I want to show you. I transformed life. I can talk about my life or I could talk about, you know, Kevin's life or someone else's here in room, I can't even talk about. Somebody famous life has been transformed but I want to go to something that you can refer back to us because you can see our whole life and all the work that was done in that life. Are we going to talk about the start of the transformation? I'm going to go all the way through so let's that you can read it with me here. Ask 9123, you don't have to read it aloud. I'll read it and you can follow me but song, still breathing threats and murder against the Disciples of the Lord went to the high priest. Never Summer. Don't know in the room, saw was Paul before he met Yeshua. Before he was transformed, that was his name.

But saw still breathing threats and murder against the Disciples of the Lord, which of the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogue's at Damascus. What is he saying? Any Belonging to the way, men or women, he might bring them back down to Jerusalem. Now, as he went on his way, he approached Damascus and suddenly a light from Heaven Shone around him. And falling to the ground. He heard a voice saying to him. Why are you persecuting me? And he said, who are you? Lord and he said, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting but Rhys and enter the city and you will be told what you are to do. the band who were traveling with him, stood speechless, hearing the voice, but seeing no one, Song Rose from the ground and although his eyes were open, he saw something. So they let him by the hand and brought him in to Damascus. And for three days, he was without sight and neither ate nor drank. Now there was a disciple at Damascus. A Mennonite, the Lord said to him and his vision and a nice. And he said Here I Am Lord. And the Lord said he rides and go to the street called straight. And in the house of Judah, Superman versus name saw for my whole, he is praying and he has seen in a vision. A man named ananias come in and lay its hands on him so that he might regain his sight. But at a nice answer, Lord I have heard from witty about this man. How much evil he is done for your safety. And here he has Authority from the chief priests to buy. Not all who call on your name. But the Lord said to him, go for he is a chosen instrument of mind to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings of the children of Israel and the children of Israel, how much he must suffer for the sake of my name. Brandeis departed into the house and laying his hands on him. He said, brother saw the Lord Jesus to a picture, you are the road but what you came and sent me so that you made me gain your side and be filled with the Holy Spirit and immediately something like scales fell from his eyes and he regained his sight Heroes and was baptized and taking food. He was strengthened for some days. He was with the disciple that Damascus and immediately. He proclaimed Jesus in the synagogue saying he is the son of God. At all Harmony were amazed and said it's not this. The man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those and called upon this name and has he not come here for this purpose to bring them down.

But song, increase all the more strength and confounded the Jews, who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Messiah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Listening to this story. It's an account. It's not a storage. It actually happen. You see the Paul was dramatically transformed? Into a bold. Proclaiming the gospel. That he rejected the old patterns that he had and devoted his life to doing God's will that we need turn? He immediately started Doing the will of God. he didn't let no grass grow under his feet in the old people would say Begin immediately to walk in the way and then the scripture said he was increased. Remember, we talked about that overtime, he was increased and is learning to do is increasing his spiritual abilities. This is the same Paul that we know of that at some point he wrote 2/3 of the New Testament. Hallelujah. Do not discount, your abilities. Don't think about your past and say, well, you know what, there's no way God can use me this, a man that was killing people on the regular. And he was doing it for what he thought was the right reason. Changed all of that for you. In an instant. It over. Of days. He was transformed. To see things from God's perspective so much so that when people would bring things to call he didn't help could not help but have the vantage point of God come out of him. Another word, the Viewpoint that God sees it is, what came through his mouth and threw the scribes. They wrote what he would say.

The letters that he wrote. They wanted to use with his thought process and his ways and his ideas. Are we doing when he was singing? At the moment they were infused with was kind was saying to him. What he was inspired to say.

I want us to stand. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah.

If this word touched you in any way.

What you doing?

Lift up your hands.

To your father.

And tell him that you release. Anything and everything. That would keep you from seeing things from his perspective.

In your own way, using your own words.

Hallelujah. I'm going to pray but I want you to pray. How are you? This is your personal story. Is your personal desire. Hallelujah.

Transform to the personal experience. It looks different from every person. Some people may take longer than others for them to get certain things, but it's still your experience with God. Not with me. Not with anyone else. And how long you take to get to where God wants you to be? Has no.

Influence over what God is going to do through you? Some people, he's using while he's getting in there. you may know one scripture and God uses you with that one, scripture to change the lives of so many people while you're being transformed, while you're getting to your next to the glory of God, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. The Midwest matters. Is that a story is like Paul? Hallelujah. The god uses us.

For his glory father. We just thank you this morning and we bless your Holy Name. We thank you that this words that came for today.
