I think I may have written on this topic already, but I have a nudge in my heart to do this again. What is prophetic perspective? What is the importance of a prophetic perspective? How does prophetic perspective affect us?
We live in a world that is fundamentally spiritual, but because the spiritual cannot be seen with the eyes of the flesh, it is often relegated to the secondary. Physical activities on earth are a result of spiritual permutations.
Paul, the apostle, charged the Ephesian church to understand God's will and not walk in foolishness. He also charged the Corinthian church to pay attention to spiritual things than the physical.
About a month ago, I was reading the book of Revelation. Those parts that talks about seals being opened and different horses riding into the earth to cause different things to happen. I wondered if we are going to see physical horses riding in the skies or on the land across countries, it then dawned on me that these are spiritual visions.
When these horses are riding in the spiritual, we will only see their effects in the natural. It is amazing how many can still ignore the bible in this times despite the world moving in the exact direction that the bible said it will move. I study the fulfillment of last days prophecies and I get stunned by the accuracy of the words written over 2000 years ago.
When an event happens, several professional will analyse it based on their knowledge. The political analyst, sociologist, educationist, scientists, financial analyst and many others will give their take on the event that happened and rightly so. However, we must know that as much as these people have perspectives to issues on earth, there is perspective that has gone ahead which is the spiritual.
The spiritual is always ahead of the physical. Before anything can happen in the physical, someone must have made it happen in the spiritual. Whether we are aware or not. The spiritual is superior to the physical and this is why you see highly placed people in the physical go after highly placed people in the spiritual. It's not religion. It's wisdom.
Spiritual perspective to an event helps us to know if the event came from God or the devil. If it is from God, we embrace it and if it is a devilish event, we stand against it. That's one of the duties of the church in this last days- to withstand the evil ones.
Spiritual perspective also help us to know what to do about situations. Individually, it gives you direction. Some people go to traditionalists to get spiritual perspective. We must know that it is not only God that is in the spiritual. There are demons too, so we must ensure that we pass though the right door- Jesus, if we want to see the Father.
Getting spiritual perspective to an event or situation simply requires you to ask from the Lord. 'If any man lack wisdom, let him ask...' Find out from His Spirit what really happened or what is really happening? Sometimes, events are not what they look like in the physical. Haman wanted to wipe out the Jews, but it was an interplay of prophecies right from the days of Moses that was actually happening.
Joseph read the situations of his life correctly. Mordecai saw beyond the physical. Moses saw the invisible. David knew that there is a king in the spiritual. For us to see correctly, we must trust God to help our sight and heart. We must be able to see as God sees, hear as God hears and know as God knows.
