*This is not a time to step back and allow dark times to decide how the rest of your life is
going to go. This is the time to step up and tell the darkness how it’s going to go!
*The Light living in you is greater than the darkness that surrounds you.
*An abundance mindset is not just about finances…it includes finances…
*John 7:38 “out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water…” belly--heart…womb….an
abundant life flows out of our hearts….place of conception….
Perspectives on the Good Samaritan
*If we can change our perspectives on how we think we can change our lives…
*As a man thinketh in his heart…so is he…Proverbs 23:7
*How you view it is how you’ll do it…
*Luke 10:30-37…“And who is my neighbor?” 30 Then Jesus answered and said: “A certain
man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among [ i ] thieves, who stripped him of
his clothing, wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 31 Now by chance a certain
priest came down that road. And when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
32 Likewise a Levite, when he arrived at the place, came and looked, and passed by on the
other side. 33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came where he was. And when he
saw him, he had compassion. 34 So he went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil
and wine; and he set him on his own animal, brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
35 On the next day, [ j ] when he departed, he took out two denarii, gave them to the innkeeper,
and said to him, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I come again, I
will repay you.’ 36 So which of these three do you think was neighbor to him who fell among
the thieves?” 37 And he said, “He who showed mercy on him.”Then Jesus said to him, “Go
and do likewise.”
1. The robber’s perspective…what belongs to you is mine and I want it and I’m going to
take it….
*For everyone here today this perspective is probably not a problem for us…but we are all born
selfish…born into sin…
*Let me briefly address this from a government perspective…and I believe in the necessity of
fair and honest taxation…but… This nation was not built on socialism or Marxism…we are
made in the image of God to create wealth…
*“But remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce
wealth, and so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your ancestors, as it is today.”
Deuteronomy 8:18 NIV
*God doesn’t have to rob you to bless me…
2. The priest and Levite perspective…
*What belongs to me is mine and I’m going to keep it…
*Birthed from improper perspective of our source…a lack of awareness…
*Selfishness is not a kingdom principle or fruit of the spirit…
*Perspective—when we are selfish we cheat ourselves…
Proverbs 11:24… “A gene
