was under the weather so i decided to pop in one of j.smith sermon dvds from hills 08. yes, it took my lazy bottom five years to actually play it again. repentance is now. i kid.
it is truly time to change one's point of view as he boldly encourages -- a view that is not from earth to heaven, but heaven, to earth. and the kingdom perspective is always far above it all, because the God of the cosmos sees everything. nothing can hide from His view as He is the creator and the very existence of all things.
instead of staying comfy in our tents where how we say, think, and feel is only based on our very own, and with God only coming partially in the picture, how about coming out from it? isn't one already sick of the limited perspective and small possibilities that faith is normally seen easier to be enlarged in?
to imagine a view from heaven to earth will definitely give us a new set of eyes to finally see through the eyes of Grace which speaks of supply and none else.
that is the beauty of the heart of our God -- abram asked for just one kid but God took him out from his tent and told him to look up and count the stars because those represent each and everyone of his decedents and their destinies, which translates back to every 7 billion one of us.
imagine that. Grace does not just gives enough, but there is always more that is attached to it simply because He does not ever stop. our heavenly Father knows no end.
heard this verse saying "where He started, He will faithfully complete it" three times this week. first from Him personally for another person, on bible gateway, and then on this very sermon itself. can He be any more obvious? i kid again.
to give a thought, when He said He will faithfully and personally complete whatever that He started, He already did. when the law bounded us, God Himself literally came down and finished what was thought impossible. He personally took care of everything. how will He not do anything else?
here's to a journey of seeing it like a King.
"open the eyes of my heart and all other senses to be in tune with Yours and none else. have me not be easily moved by my feelings, but by Your faith You have running in us and through us.
take over."
