Thoughts and revelation from Steven Furtick's sermon, "There's Nothing to See Here."
We usually want God to fix our problems... but could it be that God wants us to change our perspective? Pastor Furtick talks about Plato's Allegory of the Cave and Elijah and
his cave (1 Kings 19)... Do you perceive the shadows on the wall of the cave you might be in as your reality? The echos of your past and your failures? The feed on your facebook? The headlines on your news program? What are you looking at? Maybe if we change our perspective... step out of the cave... look around... what do you think can happen? What would you see...possibilities? Potential? Change? The promises of God are out
there.
"After the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was a voice, a soft whisper. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave." (1 Kings 19:12-13)
"God's voice will reach you in the cave, but His vision will only be revealed to you on the mountain." - Steven Furtick
