«What do you see?»
Pastor Andrey Shapovalov
If you think about it, your consciousness is the steering wheel that determines the direction of your destiny. That is, our lives are transformed by the turn of our consciousness. We all subconsciously move towards the image in our consciousness.
For example, before people quit drinking or taking drugs, they first do it in their consciousness.
When you want to get out of debt, you first do it in your consciousness, or when you want to lose weight, you first see it in your consciousness and only then do the results come in your body. etc.
That is, everything in our life, any transformation, always begins in consciousness.
(Romans 12:2) Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
And this is how God changes a person, through the touch of the Holy Spirit, He shows you in your consciousness who you are and who He sees you as. In other words, God allows you to experience yourself and see yourself, then believe in it and begin to move.
In other words, the Spirit of God gets to the very seed or core of your being and changes it, and then comes a complete transformation of your visible reality.
That is why a person can change his name, surname, clothes or place of residence, but if his thinking does not change, then no changes will last long, and the person will always return to his real essence.
This means that before transforming your life, you must identify your core, your essence of who you are and start the change from there.
That is, when you have determined your essence, that this seed, for example, is the seed of an apple, and no matter how much you want tomatoes, the seed of an apple cannot give you this.
An apple seed can only give you what it is, but it is up to us to give that seed the opportunity to become the best version of the apple tree.
This means that we need to recognize the DNA of our being and allow that DNA to grow into the best version of who God sees us as.
So recognize what is the center of your essence?
A person's problems begin precisely when he goes against his essence and who the Designer God created you to be. By doing something that is not you, you start the process of self-destruction, because your DNA (essence) will go against your actions.
Our power lies in recognizing our essence and fertilizing that essence, becoming the best version of this God design.
For example, I am a teacher, but I do not like it and I want to sing, but I am not given the talent and resources to do it, now I begin to compete with those who are called to do it, I humiliate them to seem better, I am constantly disappointed because I can not sing like them, etc.
At that time, I need to recognize who I am, invest in it and become the best version of myself, thereby glorifying my Creator. In this position, competition and disappointment disappear, because here you are the original.
The Father wants you to shine in who you were created to be and enjoy your function in His body.
So, have you recognized your seed? Who are you in your essence, as soon as you answer this question for yourself, you cannot even imagine how your life and your environment will begin to transform.
What is a successful person? This is someone who has not only recognized their essence, but has invested in that essence, becoming the best version of themselves and thereby glorifying their Creator.
Why do some people not have healthy relationships with the people around them? Because these people do not have a healthy relationship with themselves.
God's word says, "love your neighbor as yourself" the question is, do you love, respect and value yourself?
In the pursuit of being fulfilled, we lose sight of the most important factor of what it means to be fulfilled.
For some, being fulfilled is what I have and what I possess, but in reality, being fulfilled is finding who I am and why I am here, and everything else will come without effort.
Those who have not recognized their essence live from the outside in, from what they have accumulated and what they possess, and with this they console their inside. But those who have recognized their essence live from the core of their essence, their enjoyment flows from the inside out and it doesn’t matter to them what they have because it’s not their measure.
Understand, when I do everything from my essence, I do it with comfort and confidence because it’s me and it’s mine. An apple tree doesn’t bother to produce apples, but an apple tree has a huge problem when it wants to grow tomatoes.
I have my brand, if you want a revelation, a word or teaching you’re welcome, but if you’re expecting a song from me, that’s not the place.
Think about it, maybe your whole Christian life has been focused on what you’re doing wrong instead of focusing on what you’re doing great?
I challenge you today to recognize your essence, take a few days and spend a few hours in His presence and in His atmosphere.
Let Him remove the dross of lies and all lusts from you, and you will begin to clearly see your essence, what really attracts you and from which you receive great pleasure within yourself.
Then begin to invest in your essence and your power.
May the Heavenly Father bless you.
