There's something about paradigm shift that changes our outcome. It challenges us to a better way of thinking and acting that helps us to do better for ourselves by all standards. The moment the prodigal son had a shift in perspective, a new found freedom and authority was born in him. Then he arose! You cannot desire or focus on a 'city' that lies ahead and not rise for the journey. The prodigal son arose and walked in the direction of his new reality, and changed his outcome!
It doesn't matter how badly your worldview has been reshaped out of alignment by the agents of socialisation, you must realise you now have the mind of Christ (1 Cor. 2:16), which is superior in understanding, knowledge, and coordination. The mind of Christ stirs up the champion mentality in you. It enables your abilities and propels you towards your destiny. The mind of Christ aligns you with God's original purposes for your life; it sets you not just on a discovery journey but on a recovery mandate for your city with unshakable foundations, whose architect and builder is God himself.
