Embracing Abba’s Point of View
(5 minutes)
And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (Romans 12:2 NKJV)
Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God's will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in his eyes. (Romans 12:2 TPT)
"When you become intimate with a thought, a point of view, that is not God, you lose your ability to see altogether. Then you start talking about how great God is, but how worthless you are. You can't be worthless and God be great. But that's false humility. Kingdom humility is you confessing what God says about you and you are amazing. You are not worthless." (Pastor Tim)
When we become intimate with, and start feeding on a thought or point of view that is not from Abba, we lose our ability to see. As long as we're entertaining delusional thinking, we will not be able to see the difference between what is of Yahweh and what is not. Not only will we not be able to see Him correctly, we won't be able to see ourselves correctly.
This all started in the Garden of Eden. The enemy came and planted a seed in Eve that she wasn't good enough. That she didn't measure up. That she was lacking something. That she was broken. The enemy convinced her that she was nothing like God. Eve and her husband were made in the very image and likeness of Yahweh, but because Eve believed (partnered with, was convinced of, and became intimate with) a lie about herself, her life and behavior followed suit. Because whatever a man thinks in his heart, so is he.
We can no longer partner and be in agreement with things that Abba doesn't think about us.
What are you believing about yourself that isn't in agreement with Abba's point of view? What are you believing about other people that isn't in agreement with Abba's point of view? What are you believing about certain situations and circumstances that isn't in agreement with Abba's perspective?
Metanoia is an invitation to a new way of seeing. It's an invitation into seeing everything with Abba's eyes and Abba's heart. And this starts with seeing Him and ourselves rightly. When we make intimacy with Abba a priority, His goodness will lead us into His point of view. As we get intentional about taking the walk with Abba and stepping into these daily, intimate encounters with Him, our perspective will be changed and our mind will be renewed.
Beloved One, you were made in the image and likeness of Yahweh. You are not worthless. You are amazing.
