VOP 2022: May 30, 2022: Focus on the Source “Lifted amidst all Odds”

VOP 2022: May. 30, 2022 Focus on the Source “Lifted amidst all Odds” A good connection to our source will take us out of every difficult condition or situation. When everything fails, we can still hope and trust in our source from where we draw strength and are empowered to receive divine intervention. When the Lame Man at the Beautiful Gate kept his focus on Jesus Christ, the author and finisher of our life as commanded by Peter and John, he experienced a divine shift from staying at the entrance of The Beautiful Gate to a higher place where he was lifted from hopelessness and stagnation to restoration of hope and joy. You may look beautiful outwardly, but you need a “Divine Shift” to a place of al round beauty (In and Out). “Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour. And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple; who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God. Then they knew that it was he who sat begging alms at the Beautiful Gate of the temple; and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.” Acts‬ ‭3:1-10‬ ‭NKJV. ‬‬ “But You, O Lord, are a shield for me, My glory and the One who lifts up my head.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭3:3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ Nugget: You need a Paradigm Shift that will move you from a place of friction and affliction to a place of distinction and
