SEEING THINGS FROM GOD'S PERSPECTIVE

My heart's desire is that you be encouraged and try to see things from God's perspective. Our decisions and how we live our lives are based on how we see things. In that sense, perspective is often more important than reality. Perspective is the ability to perceive how things are interrelated and then judge their comparative importance. In a spiritual sense it means seeing life from God's point of view.

( Ps.103v7) " He made known His ways unto Moses, His acts unto the children of Israel" The children of Israel got to see what God did, but Moses got to understand why God did it. Seeing things from God's perspective. God promised Joshua that when he led the people across the Jordan River, he would give Joshua every place he set his foot. Three days later God dried up the Jordan for His people to cross over. Jericho was strong and fortified with huge walls around the city. Joshua had a promise from God that the land was theirs, but the people of Jericho were not going to just hand it over. They chose to stand their ground inside what they believed was an impenetrable

fortress.

Here's what happened to Joshua that changed everything. When Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing with a drawn sword. Joshua asked, are you for us or for our enemies? Neither he replied, but as a Commander of the Amy of the Lord, I have now come. Then Joshua fell down on his face in reverence and asked him, what message does my Lord have for his servant? He replied, take off your shoes, for the place where you are standing is Holy. It was after this that God gave him the plan to defeat Jericho.

Church, can we get to the place of reverencing God so that His Holy will for our lives will be revealed?

Yes we can.

THE POWER OF UNITY IN THE CHURCH

There is nothing the enemy of God fears more than to see that the people of God are living in unity. This means that his main plan is to bring disunity to the Church of God, and if he succeeds then the Church is stagnant.
Jesus spoke concerning the power of agreement. "Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven" (Matt,18v19)
We can receive anything we agree about in prayer. What have you agreed on as a Christian? The Greek word Jesus used that translated "agree" comes from the word "symphonize" At the beginning of the symphony the orchestra warms up. This is when everyone plays on their own without considering others. The noise is atrocious, you are warming up, but when the conductor lifts the baton everything stops and all eyes are on him. Then with a gentle wave of the baton the orchestra plays such wonderful music.
Now what made the difference? The orchestra was in one accord. No one was on their own.They all played their part. There is a law called synergism, this law states that when the joint action of agents are brought together they increase each other's effectiveness.
There is power in unity. The question has been asked " Can two walk together, except they be agreed" ( Amos 3v3) No real fellowship can exist between two people unless they agree on fundamental truths. We can have no genuine relationship with God unless we accept His word and agree with it.
It is impossible to call yourself a Christian and work in division with each other. Our hostility toward each other was put to death on the cross with Christ. You cannot walk together without agreeing on going in the same direction.

Church, can we remember that we need each other to survive?

Yes we can.
