Why do we resist the plan of God for our lives? Many times we’ll say we haven’t heard clearly or we just don’t know what it is. But what if we do know, and we’re really just saying, “But not like that”?
In this episode of the Positioned to Prosper podcast I’m sharing a message that I recently shared at a REVIVE Woman Girls Night Out called, Vantage Point. Not all perspectives are the same. A vantage point is a higher, more comprehensive perspective, and it’s the sort of sight line that God has for our lives. What if we could get to where He is and see it from His perspective?
The good news is, We Can! But it’s a choice, and you’ll have to push past some subpar perspectives to get there. So, why is it that we don’t consistently choose to do this, choosing instead to stay married to lesser perspectives and strategies with lesser outcomes? That’s what we’re talking about in this week’s episode. If you’re ready to dig into what’s been keeping you stuck in subpar outcomes while saying to the Lord, “Yes, I need help, but not like that,” then I want you to grab your Bible, your journal and a pen, and . . . Let’s Go!

John 3:16 —
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Ephesians 2:6-10 —
…and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
