"A New Year and a New Perspective" -How Christians perceive God and the trials of this life to be could be the one thing that holds a lot of believers back in their faith. It is essential that we take the time to learn God's Word and His ways so that our minds can be renewed. Many Christians live their lives being frustrated and unfulfilled because they do not clearly see as God sees. Instead of giving into defeat and allowing the enemy to gain control over us, we have to train ourselves to live for God whole-heartedly for the Lord by dying to self. If something is good in the Spirit but we perceive it as bad in our carnal mind, to us, it will be bad. Yes, you need this word from the Lord.-How Christians perceive God and the trials of this life to be could be the one thing that holds a lot of believers back in their faith.
