This week we continue to learn more about the human design. The week prior was an introduction into understanding the separation between the spirit, soul and body. This week we went a little further and gained a deeper understanding on the makeup of mankind.
When we understand the way that we’ve been designed. We become increasingly equipped to overcome and walk away from the world. The ability to walk away, is developed by denying self in order to get closer to God.
The closer we become to God the more He reveals His thoughts and His ways of doing things. When we begin to receive His knowledge, not the knowledge we accumulate when we learn about Him; but the knowledge we personally receive from Him. His knowledge, His ways, His understanding is what frees us from a world He’s never been bound by.
God, the Creator of all things, lives outside of the world that we live in. For that reason, God’s knowledge and wisdom is not found in the world. It is found outside. This is why our need to understand how He designed us is so important. This understanding enables us to go beyond ourselves, beyond the world and spiritually connect to the Creator of the entire universe.
It is through that connection that we become able to see life and everything involved in it from a new and higher vantage point. This new vantage point is what gives us insight and understanding beyond the human ability. The reason this understanding is so empowering is because it is not mental; it is spiritual. Spiritual understanding goes beyond the human ability because, that vantage point is God’s perspective.
So for us to press into the spirit and receive God’s perspective. We must push further than our feelings, concerns, and thoughts. We have to exercise mental and emotional restraint. Above that, it is vital we exercise a faith that believes and communicates with the expectation of a response. The response is God’s perspective. When we receive and accept God’s perspective. We are then enabled to see the world and the things going on in it from God’s view, instead of our own.
