Vision is never just about the direction
that we are moving towards. It is also about the height at which we are
expecting to travel. Everything about
being in Christ is concerned with elevation.
In Jesus, we are made vulnerable to an
elevated perception so powerful that we are raised up to encounter and
experience a Heavenly identity that governs any earthly circumstance.
To solve any problem, we must first get
above it.
In example, we never deal with a negative
directly. It comes at us from a lower level of existence than our placement in
Christ. If we respond on the same level we become tethered to that thought and
it’s oppositional perception. The impact of this on our mental and emotional state
can work against our faith, trust and enjoyment of God.
The enemy wants us to deal with the
negative thought. Jesus, on the contrary, wants us to capture the thought He is
releasing to us in the experience and practice obedience to it in joy (2
Corinthians 10:3-7).
An elevated thought life will always lead
to fullness.
It is vital we get above our situations so
that we are not brought down to earth with a contrary viewpoint. If we try to
deal directly with the negative, we become engaged in a fight we do not need to
make. If our thinking has brought us to a place that we do not like, we must
remember that there is a better thought that can elevate us.
That perspective will always bring us into
a place of increase. Height in the Spirit connects our vision with Heavenly
places. It attaches us to authority, power and dominion as a lifestyle of
enjoying the majesty of Jesus.
Try this…
Write down each negative viewpoint that is
troubling your life and relationship. What is the opposite thought that can
capture you to a place of divine acceleration? Practice only dealing with the
new thought and you will experience a fresh faith rising up that empowers you
to realize the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth!!
