My heart aches for the people of God. The passion of my life steers me right into a divine conflict. My passion is for Jesus. Jesus the King of the universe. Jesus the prince of peace, the judge of all mankind. Jesus, the lover of people. Jesus the one who draws us into intimacy with the Father. Why is the majority of the church that is comprised of people who would assent to all the right things, display such a mediocre passion for Jesus? Passion, a requirement for life, is spent on recreation and entertainment and not on divine purpose. It is a fantastic blessing to enjoy the earth and the things God has created for us. It is a tragedy that we would give our best to anything other than the Kingdom of God. This tragedy is commonplace and I will not participate. I will not be numbered with those who put their treasure in what passes away. We need a view from above. The scripture says that we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. How did we get up there if we are still down here? We are seated. God desires to give us a particular vantage point that gives us an advantage, heavenly vision! I have heard it preached so many times that we don’t want to be so heavenly minded that we are no earthly good. That is actually a misnomer, because if you truly see from God’s vantage point, you will be unstoppable. What did those preachers mean? Really, they were just addressing flakes. People who won’t engage in life. It is impossible to be sidelined if you have a heavenly vision. If you don’t understand this language, I strongly recommend praying, reading scriptures and listening for the Holy Spirit to lead you into the truth. The spirit of God is passionate to give you a perception that cannot be stolen, because it is not from this world. He wants to give you a view from above.
