We have a tendency to look at our situation from our natural mind, then we find ourselves full of fear, worry, anxiety, stress, complaining.
Lord says, "If I'm not worried, why are you?"
God is offering you His perspective- how does God view your situation. And we have to be willing to allow God's perspective to seep into our hearts and minds so that we can tap into the peace of God. We are looking at the situation, God is looking at the situation, but we have a tendency to go to God like He don't see what's going on. We go to God like, "Lord, do You see what's happening?", and He's like- "Of course. I see what's happening. But do you see what's happening with Me, why am I not worried, why do I have not the same reaction as you?" God is saying, "I am the Miracle."
The Bible talks about the Lord making a way of escape. Lord says today, "I am your Way of escape."
When we can talk to God, find Him, the enemy fights. When we're moving in the right direction, we get that opposition. That becomes a time of growth where we become rooted in God, when we make decisions in our life that say, "I will not be moved."
We are in a battlefield of faith. We are to fight the good fight of faith. And so oftentimes, the enemy tries to oppose you, and that can be challenging, and that creates an opportunity for us to dig into God, to say, "I will not be moved." Whatever God has spoken to me, it is the eternal truth, and I will stand on that, and trust on that and see it come to pass.
When we allow ourselves to come undone, we're not in faith. When we're in our carnal or natural minds viewing circumstances or situations, it could be difficult to be in faith, because, faith is a spiritual component of God. It's a heavenly component, it's a godly component, spiritual component, it aligns with the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance). When we find ourselves worried, anxious, we've lost perspective and God is saying, "You got to regain your perspective." Regain your perspective by going to God and praying, "Lord, how are You looking at the situation? How do You see it Lord?" Because if you can discover how God sees your situation, you can discover your answer, miracle, way of escape, and you can walk on the water.
You don't wanna fight or war against God through a natural mindset or carnal perspective. Having a carnal perspective does not allow you to see your spiritual answer. The enemy has no permanent residency. The only residency he has is the one we give him to occupy to speak. And you get to find a holy indignation, a righteous indignation and say, "No, In the Name of Jesus", because the enemy's always gonna try to placate your flesh. If you can discover how God sees the situation, that means you can be lifted up, ascend above all principalities, mights, powers and dominions. You have to find a way to come above it spiritually before you can come above it naturally.
If God is sitting back relaxed, that means good news. Why? Because He cares about you, He loves, He got a plan for your life, because He wants to do something amazing. Discovering God's perspective, you're tapping into where your miracle is. You're seeking out where your miracle is.
Some people have gone forth but some people have been kind of stuck in the rut, because they're too focused on how they see the thing. And as you begin to process, how you perceive the events, then doubt comes in, you're discouraged, you're full of doubt, you're losing energy, and you're being disconnected from God's perspective where your help is. Pray like, "Lord, You're at peace, what's Your perspective on this?" If God shares with you His perspective, He is also giving you His ability. He is also giving you power. He is also giving you authority. When God gives you His perspective on it, He is also giving you the very substance you need to execute, to come into whatever it is that His perspective is expressing to you.
Matthew 14:28-31 (Peter coming to Jesus walking on water:)
28And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.”
29So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.
30But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!”
31And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”
Peter answered, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” So He said, “Come.”
Peter was able to because he changed his perspective and once he became spiritually minded, he had access to the miracle, he had access to the power. But as soon as Peter took his eyes off of Christ, as soon as he fell back into the carnal mind, looking from his own perspective instead of looking from Christ's perspective, he began to sink, he lost access to the power. God is saying, "I want to give you access to your power." The fear, worry, doubt, that won't bring you blessings. It takes you out of that place of manifestation. God wants you to see miracles. He is your Miracle. Discover God's perspective.
Just the Word "Come" elevated Peter above his natural circumstance and allowed him to do the impossible, because with God, all things are possible. But Peter became afraid and sink. Christ immediately reached out His hand saying to him, "Why did you doubt?" You can't have faith and fear at the same time.
As soon as you start moving with God, here comes the winds and the waves. The enemy tries to get you to change your perspective because soon as God gave you a godly perspective, to you this is your time, this is your season. "I got wonderful things for you." You begin to wrap up and begin to move out on God, and you begin to move forward and you were excited and you begin to see things move coming to alignment, God bringing people around you, God doing things and you're seeing the evidence come forth what God said. But then here comes the enemy, winds and waves, people howling, and all these stuff, and then you're losing your smurf, you begin to sink, and the Lord turns to you and say, "Why did you take your eyes off of Me?"
