Our natural views concerning spiritual matters differ from Gods views. When we receive revelation from God in a spiritual matter, we discover how ignorant and contrary our views are. Our natural views have caused us to suffer much loss, hindered us from receiving God’s grace, and wasted God’s time. The sorrow and grief that result from our natural concepts are greater than the sorrow and grief of committing a great sin. Our concepts are our biggest problem before God. It is not too difficult for God to deliver us from sin, but it is not easy for Him to deliver us from our concepts, especially from our concepts concerning spiritual things. Our person is hidden in our concepts. When the Lord told His disciples that He would go to Jerusalem, suffer many things, be killed, and be raised on the third day, Peter rebuked Him, saying, “God be merciful to You, Lord! This shall by no means happen to You!” (Matt. 16:21-22). Then the Lord turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men” (v. 23). Jesus then said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me” (v. 24). This portion of the Word shows that human opinions are often the manifestation of the self. Our experience also confirms that our self often hides in our opinions. Our self is often hidden in our opinions and expressed through our opinions. Likewise, in spiritual matters our concepts are often full of the self. There are children of God who have been saved for many years but have not been delivered from the self. I learned this when I was vacationing in Addis Ababa. I noticed that peoples are lifting up themselves by empowering or boosting Self: spending their time by talking spiritual things by expressing their opinions that much far away from Gods view. It seems like they are advocating Humanistic View without realizing it. Brothers and Sisters: we are in a very defined moment or time that demands purely divine sight from above ( another Realm). This is simply the only option for us. So my advice or prayer to all of us is make an intentional and deliberate move or shift to God Himself to absorb His Mind in our every day life. This movement delivers us from our self( our number one enemy to deviate us from God) . Then the result will be puts us in a new perspective ( Godly way... Like Jesus our Master and His disciples) that navigate only Gods Mind and redefine or Pivot things accordingly .( we can start redefine things mention a few: Prosperity, wealth, Money, Country, development, Church, Identity, blessings, Family, Husband, Wife, etc and everything that surrounds us) . So cry out for SIGHT. What makes the difference is nothing but only one thing; SEEING or Not Seeing. Start the Right Journey with God . Let the Church hears what the Spirit of the Lord says. Stay blessed😃
