EP 11: Perspective PT 2- Recalibrating our Upside-down, & Turned-around Thinking

Listen Later

In Part 2 of our final episode of Season 1, we continue our conversation on seeing our circumstances God's way; discovering how praise can change how we see things.

We share how the Holy Spirit has given us the beautiful gift of perspective shift in circumstances that have felt impossible. We believe Jesus has the same blessing for you as you go into Christmas and the New Year. We pray this episode brings you the joy, freedom, and hope you need to recalibrate your lens and take steps toward the healing you desire.

Testimonies of a recalibrated lens:

Danielle: "This is God's day and we have so much to be thankful for even when all the circumstances go awry...God is Faithful."

Schell: "It's not just words. It's an act of changing your circumstances by praising."

Damara: "Every day we have the choice to see God in the circumstance or just see the circumstance. The sacrifice we make to see Him, blesses Him so much. Every day there is a choice."

Scripture:

John 16:33 - "These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage*; I have overcome the world."
*original Greek tharseo (thar-seh-o)- to be of good courage; to radiate warm confidence; refers to God bolstering the believer, empowering them with a bold inner attitude, infusing His strength.
