Summary
A lens change is about embracing the truth of who we are in Christ and allowing that truth to transform our perspective, mindset, and language. Sometimes, this process can be uncomfortable. But the Lord is committed to making us more like Him, which means He has to take us into territory we've never been.
Key Scriptures:
+ Acts 10:28. And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.
+ Acts 9:17-19. Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord—Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here—has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.” Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again…

| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the Brilliant Perspective's podcast. I'm your host J. Lynn Bowden. |
| 0:07.0 | And this month we're diving into something that we like to call New Man Theology. |
| 0:12.0 | It's simply about saying no to like to |
| 0:15.0 | the new man theology. It's simply about saying no to the old ways of thinking, speaking, and |
| 0:17.5 | perceiving that were shaped by our worldly experiences and instead stepping into the fullness of our new identity in Christ. |
| 0:27.0 | This means a joyful journey of discovery and new perspectives of life in the spirit. |
| 0:33.0 | Take Peter, for example, |
| 0:35.0 | when God gives him a vision three times |
| 0:38.0 | before he meets Cornelius, |
| 0:40.0 | or Paul when he was blinded on the road to Damascus before scales fell from his eyes. |
| 0:47.0 | This is the kind of lens change we're talking about, |
| 0:50.0 | where we begin seeing our present in the light of our future and the good outcome that God intends. |
| 0:57.0 | It's all about asking him, how do you see this situation, this person, this battle. |
| 1:04.0 | And how do you see me in this with you? |
| 1:07.0 | I pray this episode brings you encouragement |
| 1:10.0 | as you lean in to God's lens in the spirit. |
| 1:16.0 | But every one of us has a lens. |
| 1:19.0 | And a lens is a perspective that can take you into fullness or it can keep you in measure. |
| 1:28.4 | It's a truth that takes you into freedom or it's an error that prevents you from having experiences |
| 1:36.6 | and encounters with God. |
| 1:39.7 | It can lead us into fear or it can lead us into the love of God. It can lead us into newness of life |
| 1:47.9 | or it can keep us as a prisoner of our past. So a lens is really important and a part of what God is doing with us |
