Prophetic Perspective

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper

you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah

29:11 NIV

As I have traveled nearly 300,000 miles this year I have seen fear and

anxiety on many faces. During the last year “bad news” seemed to be

coming from everywhere. All you had to do was open your internet browser

or turn on cable news and you could get immersed in a cesspool of agony,

gloom, and despair. I found myself getting caught up in the emotions of

world events and breaking news. One night while I was watching the last

presidential debate, The Lord spoke these words to my heart: “What you

eat determines what you dream.” He was right. My dreams were becoming

a little bit distorted because I was eating from the table of fear and

frustration instead of feeding my faith with the faithfulness of God. I was

partaking from the plate of preferences and pettiness instead of sitting at

the table of peace and promise. If you constantly eat from the table of

negativity you will have a negative perspective of your world and your

future.

A few days later during my quiet time I heard the Holy Spirit say: “Do

you see what I see? I want you to look through the lens of love and get a

proper perspective. Do you hear what I hear? Press your ear into My heart

so that you can listen through the filter of faith. Do not judge people by their

history but rather point them to their destiny. Do not fear what is to come

because I hold your future and the future of the nations in My hands.”

Perspective really is everything! I believe that we are the verge of another

great awakening not only here in America but around the world. I want to

see the world around me through the eyes and heart of Jesus!

Thank You Lord for your faithful reminders!
