A Shift in Perspective

9 November 2014 Chris Thompson

A shift in perspective.

We  are privileged to see things from a spiritual point of view.

2 Corinthians 12 - Paul in the third person.

The Devil can't remove from us what we understand. So we need to be strong in understanding Gods word.

 For us as Christians, finding is reserved fo those of us who actively seek God.

John 17:15 -Jesus praying for you and I.

John 10:10 - The Thief, steal, kill and destroy.

The devils plan is to make your life as tumultuous and distracting as possible.

- Don't lose faith in these times, but rather use these times to call on the lord.

- There is a demonic kingdom that exist here on Earth.

- We are created incapable of having no faith. We are designed to have faith in something.  Jesus warns us that the thief is ever present, and wants to steal our faith, to move us further away from God, ( to change the direction of our faith).

- With God we can overcome the world.

- Satan can shift material things around, with the permission of God.

- Judas was always known as a thief, which made it easy for Satan to convince him to betray Christ.

- Our faith gives us grace through God.

- Grace only comes from God, not anything we do.

- Satan will try to deceive us, by showing that we are unworthy of grace. Which is true, but has been overcome by the sacrifice of Christ.

- Faith is an unwavering belief.

- Trials and tribulations will still happen, so build up your faith.

2 Peter:1 - Faith is the foundation.

Grace is founded, not in our actions. But rather in Gods!
