Condemnation, guilt, fear and grief keep a person from manifesting on the outside what Jesus has done for them on the inside.
And the Lord said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, “Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are towards the north, and south, and east, and west: For all the land which you see, I give it to you and to your seed forever”.
(Gen. 13:14-15)
Here are three power-points from this awesome portion of Scripture:

1.    Lift up now your eyes.
To get to the place God has for you, there must be a change of focus from your surroundings of the past and towards the plan of God.

Your focus determines your direction. Focus determines the direction you take and what you do.

Focus on victory and you will begin to gravitate towards it.

Focus on defeat and everything in your life will begin to move in that direction.

Focus on disease and pain and everything in you will move you into more of the same and probably worse. Focus on “by His stripes I was healed” and your life will move in the direction of healing and health.

God wanted Abram to change His focus from where he was at in his surroundings and put his focus on the goal God set before him.

2.    Look from the place where you are towards the north, and south, and east, and west.
 God was saying, “Get your eyes off what is around you and look at the limitless opportunity I am providing for you.” God was saying, “Look beyond your limitation and see further than you ever have before.” As long as he stayed focused on his present circumstances, he was limited to them and they were keeping him from his destination. If Abram (high father) was ever to be Abraham (the father of many nations), he was going to have to change his focus from the limits of his natural family, friends, property, and circumstances and look to that which is impossible for a man without God. God was telling him that he needed to raise his vision into the realm of the way God sees things and not the way man sees them. To get there, one must look away from where they are presently at, and look towards the supernatural.

3.    For all the land which you see, I give it to you.
What I see on the inside, will change what I have on the outside. If you can see it, you can have it. If I see my faith in the limitlessness of God on the inside, then I can speak to the mountain, “Be removed” and it will obey me. I can pray in faith and expect a powerful outcome. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.  If I begin to see myself in His righteousness (the righteousness of God in Christ – 2 Cor. 5:21) then I can pray prayers that will change things.

Condemnation, guilt, fear and grief keep a person from manifesting on the outside what Jesus has done for them on the inside. In Christ Jesus there is to be NO condemnation, fear or a guilty conscious if we will appropriate by faith the provision of forgiveness and cleansing.  A consciousness of sin, condemnation, and guilt will keep me out of God’s best because that is what I see on the inside, and that would be what I get on the outside. 

Waking up to a consciousness of righteousness will hook me up with Heaven’s bounty.  I have got to see it on the inside! I am righteous, cleansed and forgiven because of Jesus! I can stand before the throne of God as clean as Jesus or as Adam and Eve did before the fall. I must see myself as blessed, healed, prosperous, and in intimate fellowship with the Father and the Lord Jesus. I must see myself as being a blessing to multitudes or that can never come forth.

I hope you are getting this awesome Word for you today! It is a life changing and a life rearranging word that no one can hinder or stop but you.
