God has a set of glasses that He wants us to wear as we look at life.

Dr. Tony Evans says we need Kingdom lenses in order to see things as they really are.

Kingdom lenses are simply looking at life through God's point of view.

This is the alternative with Dr. Tony Evans, author, speaker, senior pastor of Oaklev Bible Fellowship in Dallas, Texas

and president of the Urban Alternative.

Giant obstacles can make us feel pretty insignificant and powerless, but that feeling isn't a fact.

Today, Dr. Evans looks at the dramatic change we undergo when our focus moves from the physical to the spiritual.

Let's join him as he begins.

We've all worn sunglasses.

We've all had different kinds of sunglasses or colors and seen other people with them.

That means we have seen our perspective colored by whatever the color of the glasses were.

So things look blue or yellow or gray, depending upon the color of the lenses in the glasses.

In other words, those glasses color what you see.

God wants us to have a set of glasses on as we look at life that are colored with Kingdom lenses.

Lenses that are seeing things as he colors them as he directs them as God wants them understood.

Too many of God's people are wearing cultural glasses or racial glasses or class glasses or personality glasses and they see things through the lens of those particular perspectives.

Many people have multiple colored lenses because they're going to look at things through different shades every day.

It has a set of glasses that he wants us to wear as we look at life.

Kingdom lenses designed to give you Kingdom vision.

That is, vision from God's rule, the Kingdom is the rule of God.

If you don't use God's pair of glasses as you look at life and circumstances as you look at cultural calamity,

then you will, like a ball, be bounced around based on what happens today because you're switching glasses and trust me.
