00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:06.800
Today we are going to take a posture of peace by seeing with our kingdom eyes.

2
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:13.040
Posture is a short audible fist bump to remind you God is with you in everything.

3
00:00:13.600 --> 00:00:17.840
Together we're going to be emboldened to take a daily posture of perfect peace.

4
00:00:17.840 --> 00:00:25.680
In Hebrews chapter 11 verses 1 through 3 it says,

5
00:00:26.400 --> 00:00:33.840
Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the

6
00:00:33.840 --> 00:00:40.400
things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.

7
00:00:41.360 --> 00:00:45.840
This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for.

8
00:00:46.800 --> 00:00:55.120
Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power

9
00:00:55.120 --> 00:01:04.560
of God's words. He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.

10
00:01:05.600 --> 00:01:11.120
Now this week I've asked a few questions. What are you hoping for? What are you remembering?

11
00:01:11.120 --> 00:01:15.840
And today I want to ask another question. What are you seeing?

12
00:01:17.040 --> 00:01:23.600
You know I spent a lot of my Christian life living as if the supernatural realm which I

13
00:01:23.600 --> 00:01:30.720
had been created from and born again into just simply didn't exist. I lived by what only my

14
00:01:30.720 --> 00:01:36.720
natural eyes could see and I let what was seen here in the natural dictate my thoughts and

15
00:01:36.720 --> 00:01:45.040
feelings and actions and words. It's like I lived as if the created world had more substance

16
00:01:45.760 --> 00:01:52.320
than its creator. But of course I'm choosing to see differently now and faith empowers me to see

17
00:01:52.320 --> 00:01:59.440
with what I like to call kingdom eyes. Now I've shared before the story in number 13 when the 12

18
00:01:59.440 --> 00:02:06.400
spies were sent out to scout out the promised land. 10 came back reporting only problems. 2,

19
00:02:06.400 --> 00:02:14.080
Caleb and Joshua, came back fully convinced of what God had promised them. What they saw with

20
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.000
their kingdom eyes put what they saw with their natural eyes in its proper place. The faith they

21
00:02:20.000 --> 00:02:28.400
had in God empowered them to see what he had promised them. Giants under their feet and a land

22
00:02:28.400 --> 00:02:33.360
in their possession. It wasn't that they didn't see the same problems or the obstacles that the

23
00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:40.080
other 10 spies saw. They saw the giants too but they had more faith in God's ability to come

24
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:46.640
through on what he had promised them than the giant's ability to take them out. Caleb said in

25
00:02:46.640 --> 00:02:52.960
number 13, we are well able to take this land. He could see it. He could see them defeating the

26
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:59.040
giants. He could see them taking possession of the land. He could see himself and his future

27
00:02:59.040 --> 00:03:07.040
generations dwelling peacefully in the land God had promised. What are you seeing today? What has

28
00:03:07.040 --> 00:03:15.200
God promised? Now if you don't know, a good place to start is John 10 10. Jesus said, I came that

29
00:03:15.200 --> 00:03:23.760
you may have life and have it abundantly. Search his word today. There are promises in here for

30
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:31.200
abundance, for healing, for protection, for provision, for strength, for peace, for joy,

31
00:03:31.200 --> 00:03:38.720
for a hope filled future. When you see with your kingdom eyes, you will be like those that they

32
00:03:38.720 --> 00:03:47.280
mention in Hebrews chapter 10 verse 39. It says, but we are not those who shrink back and are

33
00:03:47.280 --> 00:03:55.520
destroyed but are of those who have faith and are saved. The promise of perfect peace is found in

34
00:03:55.520 --> 00:04:04.560
Isaiah 26 3. In Hebrew, it is shalom, shalom, meaning complete wholeness, nothing missing,

35
00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:12.880
nothing broken. This is who you are in Jesus because of Jesus. You are a living testimony

36
00:04:12.880 --> 00:04:19.760
of Jesus's ultimate win. With every step you take today, you're putting Jesus's victory on display

37
00:04:19.760 --> 00:04:27.840
and Satan's defeat on replay.
