The Winning Perspective.

2 Kings 6:17-20

Your perspective is your point of view, how yousee things.
Your perspective also determines your attitude.
The perspective we have about life and people has a lot to do with our winning or failing in life.

Which perspective are you holding on to?
Do you have a Gehazi perspective to life and to your challenges or do you have an Elisha perspective?
God wants us to have the right perspective about people, spiritual things, ourselves, and God Himself.
Our perspective has to do with our mindset and the way we see.

This is why we have been provided with the mind of Christ.
The mind of Christ is a mind that sees. 1 Corinthians 2:16
God is concerned about how you see.
How do you see?

Elisha saw better than Gehazi because he could see into the spirit realm.
We need to to pray that God will open the eyes of our understanding. Ephesians 1:18
Many people live in fear because they don't see right.

Many people have given into the spirit of fear ,defeatand discouragement because they don't see properly.
If we don't see things the way God wants us to see, we can't have the right perspctive.

The right perspective is the perspective Elisha saw from in our text passage.
That passage shows one scenario, and two major players.
The wrong perspective is the Gehazi perspective.
The Elisha perspective is the winning perspective.
The Gehazi perspective is the loosing perspective.
The Elisha perspective is the godly, courageous, and fearless perspective.
The Gehazi perspective is the ungodly, fearful and weak view.

A Gehazi view of life focuses on the evil, the wickedness and darkness in this world over the goodness, the love, the light and theabundance of God.
The Elisha perspective focuses on the move of God, the goodness of God, the wonders of God, the love of God and the ability of God towards us.

You can develop the mind of Christ, you can see with the eyes of your understanding, you can have a winning perspective, a winning mind by:

1) Giving Your Mind and Life to Jesus.
2) Studying and meditating on God's Word.
3) Being careful about, and rejecting teachings that deviate from the Word of God.
4) Allowing God's Spirit to teach you.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
