Kingdom Perspectives, Part XI You don't see things as they truly are; you see things as you are, and as your identity changes, what you see changes with it. Passing through US immigration once filled me with dread, but now, as a citizen, it is easy. The setup hasn't changed; I have. Here are four practical keys. First, ask God to show you how you see you. Many Christians try to lay a new-creation label over a settled, hidden identity, like putting a suit on someone who still feels they don't belong. Notice your reactions and fears; like Tim Ferriss's Starbucks challenge or Rees Howells walking hatless through London, many fears exist only inside us. Second, ask the Lord to expose the lies and rewire you. Some things simply need accepting, while painful experiences need reframing as you ask, "Lord, how do You see this?" Third, ask God to show you how He sees you, even when it sounds untrue, as when He called Gideon a mighty man of valor. Fourth, put on that person. Act as if what God says is true, and keep practising. Like learning a new guitar chord, it feels unnatural at first, but with practice new creation becomes second nature. Originally from England, Evangelist Graham Jones divides his time between ministry in Europe and the USA. Graham's heart and passion is revival and seeing the presence and power of God released back into the church. Graham speaks in churches, conferences, universities and businesses in many different countries each year. He brings a breath of fresh air and passion to God's people as he encourages them to come back to simple supernatural Christianity. Watch on YouTube or at gjm.org

Kingdom Perspectives, Part X What you think about God determines how you live, how you respond and how you see Him, and how you see yourself is the starting point of learning to see. Just as a new prescription changes how you walk without changing the world, our perceptions shape how we treat people. Many people relate to a pastor through the lens of every pastor who hurt them. In Luke 15, Jesus tells of a father with two sons. In Jewish culture, a son received his inheritance when he came to maturity, so the younger son's request was not wrong; what he did with it was. After wasting everything and ending up feeding pigs, he came to himself and returned, hoping to be a hired servant. His father ran to him, put a robe and a ring on him, and restored his identity as a son. The elder brother, outwardly faultless, thought his father was mean. The father told him three things: you are my son, all I have is yours, and you are always with me. Both brothers had perspective problems. Many believers live in the Father's house like pig keepers, feeling unworthy. God relates to us only as sons, and we must step into that identity.

Kingdom Perspectives, Part IX You don't see things as they are; you see things as you are. Because we see through our identity, the key to changing how we see the world, others, ourselves and every circumstance is knowing who we truly are. Many believers carry a distorted, patched-up image of themselves, and everything they see is coloured by it. In Colossians 3, Paul tells us to seek the things above, to set our minds there, because we died and our lives are hidden with Christ in God. For a believer there are only two identities, the old and the new, and in Christ we have received the new. God is not interested in self-help, which is simply a modern form of the law. His only plan for the old self was death, and He has already carried it out at the cross. Dying to self is not a slow daily discipline but an historical event: God placed our old selves on Jesus and raised us in newness of life. Most Christians live as though they are struggling failures who will only be transformed at death. God sees us now as new creations. Paul's pattern is to start from that identity, set our minds on it, and let right actions flow out of it.

Lord, Show Me How You See | Graham Jones Live God doesn't see things the way we see them, and He wants to teach the church to see. We see with our eyes but perceive with our hearts, through our history, culture and experience. Again and again in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus says, "You have heard it said… but I say to you," bringing His kingdom perspective into every area of life. God is not offering a ticket to heaven someday; He wants to change our lives now and make us citizens of heaven in how we think. I share four prayers. First, "Lord, show me who You are," because many of us carry religious ideas of a harsh, stingy God, and how we see Him determines how we relate to Him. Second, "Lord, show me how You see me," because God's opinion is the only one that counts and He gives us our identity. Third, "Lord, show me people as You see them," moving us beyond liking people to loving them with His love. Fourth, "Lord, show me my circumstances through Your eyes," whether bills, aches or setbacks. Like Joshua and Caleb, we can see the same land differently. To see as God sees, we must also let Him help us unsee. Originally from England, Evangelist Graham Jones divides his time between ministry in Europe and the USA.

Kingdom Perspectives, Complete Week God does not see the way we see, but we can learn to see the way He sees. In this complete week of teaching on kingdom perspectives, Graham Jones shows that seeing is not purely natural: we interpret what is in front of us through our knowledge, experience, culture and beliefs. The twelve spies saw the same Promised Land, yet only Joshua and Caleb saw it through the lens of "our God is able," and David saw Goliath differently because he had been looking at God. God's deeper desire is not to change everything around us but to change things inside us. Graham then explains that sin distorts our perception and that we see through the grid of our hearts, offering three keys to recognise what is inside: listen to our words, ask the Lord to show us, and watch our reactions. He shows that the heart is revealed over time, that gifting is not the measure, and that while hearts harden through repeated choices, they can also soften and be fixed firmly on God's Word. In the Q&A, Graham answers questions on hardened hearts, seeing from God's perspective, developing a biblical mindset and guarding against bitterness. You can change your heart.

Kingdom Perspectives, Q&A This Q&A answers five practical questions about seeing with the heart. To allow God to change our hearts, we must first see them, as God led Israel through the wilderness to reveal what was in their hearts; circumstances and even offence expose what is inside. We then humble our hearts and bring them into God's presence, where they become soft and tender. A hardened heart is intransigent, proud, resistant to God and slow to believe; often what looks like a faith problem is a heart problem, because "love believes all things." To see circumstances from God's perspective, we start by asking Him to show us what we don't see, then meditate on His promises until they become the lens through which we look at the world. Developing a biblical mindset means recognising and repenting of old thought patterns and deliberately walking God's paths until, like a footpath across a field, they become the natural way. Finally, guarding against bitterness means accepting that life is unfair to everyone, choosing what we allow to stay inside us, forgiving quickly and thoroughly, and refusing to revisit offences, praying daily, "Search me, O God, and know my heart."

Kingdom Perspectives, Part VII You cannot always know what is in someone's heart by the first thing they say. Over years as a pastor, I have learned that the heart is revealed over time, especially in how people react when things go wrong, when they don't get their own way, and when they must work with someone who disagrees. Gifting is not the measure; the heart is. Jesus gives us a new heart and wants the things of the Spirit to invade and determine it. Hearts can harden over time, but they can also soften, and none of us is destined to stay in the same place. Outside of Jesus, our hearts crystallise around the choices we repeat. A hardened heart is formed by repeated choices, and while it is hard to change, it is possible. We can even "harden" our hearts in a good direction, fixing them so firmly on God's Word that believing becomes easy and walking in His ways becomes natural. You can change your heart.

Kingdom Perspectives, Part VI God does not see the way we see, and sin distorts our ability to perceive. Ezekiel's call to see with our eyes, hear with our ears and set our hearts on what God shows us reminds us that we perceive with the heart, not only the eye. Many of us are poor judges of our own hearts. We walk along thinking all is well until something comes "out of the deep" and we wonder where it came from. Sin comes from inside, not outside: a spouse doesn't create anger, she presses a button already there. Jeremiah says the heart is hard to know, but the Lord searches it. Since we perceive circumstances through the grid of what is in our hearts, we need keys to recognise it. First, listen to our words, because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, especially when we are offended. Second, ask the Lord to show us. Third, watch our reactions, because God uses circumstances, as with Israel in the wilderness, to reveal what is inside. Israel "went astray in their heart." The right response is to see, repent, and let the Holy Spirit displace wrong things with His fruit, learning to thirst for living water.

Kingdom Perspectives, Part V God does not see the way we see, but we can learn to see the way He sees, and what we see shapes the posture of our hearts. Seeing is not purely natural. Just as computers are being trained to recognise images, we must be taught to perceive. We do not merely capture what is in front of us; we interpret it through our knowledge, experience, culture and beliefs. The twelve spies all saw the same Promised Land, yet ten saw it through the lens of "it cannot be done," while Joshua and Caleb saw it through the lens of "our God is able." David looked at Goliath differently because he had been looking at God, and so he saw an enemy who could not stand before the armies of the living God. Many believers treat prayer like a magic wand, asking God to change everything around them, when God's deeper desire is to change things inside them. We don't need to change what we see; we need to change how we see. Like the blind man who saw "men like trees, walking" and asked Jesus to touch him again, we must be honest that we have not yet seen everything. The prayer is simple: Lord, open my eyes, that I may see. Graham speaks in churches, conferences, universities and businesses in many different countries each year. He brings a breath of fresh air and passion to God's people as he encourages them to come back to simple supernatural Christianity.

Kingdom Perspectives, Complete Week We do not see things the way they are; we see things the way we are. In this complete week of teaching on kingdom perspectives, Graham Jones shows how the heart shapes everything we perceive. He begins with the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus raises the bar so high that only His own life in us can meet it, and explores the unknown unknowns and invisible fences that keep us living within limits that no longer exist. He then explains that the world we see is real but very incomplete, and that we relate to God as we know Him to be, not as He actually is — like the servant in Luke 19 who called his master austere — until a revelation of God's generosity changes what we receive. In Numbers 13 and 14, twelve spies take the same tour of the Promised Land yet return with two reports: Joshua and Caleb declare, "We are well able," while the ten see themselves as grasshoppers, and God calls their factual report evil because it contradicted what He had spoken. In the Q&A, Graham answers questions on spiritual blindness, hearing God, meditation, and moving from revelation to understanding until the day star rises in our hearts. God wants to change how we see.

Kingdom Perspectives, Q&A The eye and the ear are the gateway into the heart, and in this Q&A Graham Jones answers five questions about how we perceive. How can I recognize spiritual blindness? Begin with the humility that admits you do not see what you do not see; ask God to show you your unknown unknowns, and notice where you keep bumping into the same thing. Sight in the spirit has more to do with humility than intelligence, for God gives grace to the humble and reveals things to babes. Can wrong thinking keep me from hearing God? Yes — God rarely gatecrashes fixed beliefs, so ask Him, "Have I got this wrong?" How does Scripture reshape the way we see God? Through meditation and a sanctified imagination, as David saw victory where others saw a giant. What did Jesus mean by "But I say"? He contrasted the world's perception with God's and called us to put away childish understanding. How do we move from revelation to understanding? Engage with the Word until the day star rises in your heart, as gradually as a sunrise. Graham shares how speaking Philippians 4:19 in India, without yet believing it, eventually became an unshakeable revelation of God's provision.

Kingdom Perspectives, Part III You do not see things as they are; you see things as you are. Graham Jones turns to Numbers 13 and 14 to show how the heart shapes what we see. Israel spent about 430 years in Egypt, and generations of slavery embedded a slave and poverty mentality in the people. God delivered them supernaturally, yet they were not free on the inside, and an eleven-day journey from Horeb to Kadesh Barnea took forty years. Graham notes that the elders stopped on the mountain while Moses walked on into the glory of God — something in the heart was holding the people back. Moses sent twelve spies into the land. They took the same tour and saw the same grapes, cities, and giants, yet returned with two different reports. Joshua and Caleb declared, "We are well able," while the ten said, "We were like grasshoppers in our own sight." Everything the ten said was factual, yet God called it an evil report, because unbelief contradicted what He had already spoken. Only Joshua and Caleb entered. God has a promised land for every believer — His purposes, promises, and glory — and the perception of our hearts determines whether we go in.

Kingdom Perspectives, Part II The world we see is not the world as it truly is. It is not wrong, but it is very incomplete. Graham Jones explains that our eyes capture a narrow bandwidth of light while our brains build a picture of reality — and all around us is a spiritual realm we cannot see apart from the grace of God. We also filter everything through experience: a pen, a cup, or a city street can look harmless or dangerous depending on what we have lived through. Above all, God wants us to see Him as He truly is, because we relate to God as we know Him to be, not as He actually is. Like the servant in Luke 19 who called his master austere, we receive according to our view of God: believe He saves but does not heal, and you will receive salvation but not healing. Graham shares how a missionary mindset of "just enough" gave way to a revelation of God's generosity, illustrated by Mary of Bethany's costly offering. Jesus often quoted Isaiah 6 — see with the eyes, hear with the ears, perceive with the heart — and Paul prayed that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened.

Kingdom Perspectives, Part I We do not see things the way they are; we see things the way we are. In this teaching, Graham Jones opens the theme of kingdom perspectives by revisiting the Sermon on the Mount, which once felt to him like the Law of Moses Part 2. Rather than lowering the bar, Jesus raises it so high that only He can meet it — and grace proves far more demanding than the Law. Yet Jesus is not telling us to try harder; He is describing how His own life expresses itself in a citizen of the kingdom when we come to Him, die, and let Him birth His life in us. Graham then explores how little we actually perceive: Donald Rumsfeld's "unknown unknowns," Sherlock Holmes asking Watson about the steps at Baker Street, and the way we suddenly notice the vehicle we want to buy. We see with the eye, but we perceive with the heart, filtered through culture, memory, pain, and experience. Like a dog trained by an invisible fence that stays away from the boundary long after the power is off, we live within limits that no longer exist. Mission trips often break those fences, and people return bold. God wants to change how we see.

Beyond the Invisible Fence You don't see things as they are; you see things as you are. In this message, Graham Jones begins a journey into kingdom perspectives — learning to see the way God sees. Salvation is not a waiting room until heaven; it is entry into the kingdom of God, where we who are already new creations learn to think, speak and live as citizens of heaven. Twelve spies saw the same Promised Land, yet ten came back as grasshoppers in their own sight, because what we see flows from our hearts and from how we see God. A wrong image of God limits what we receive from Him. Through the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus keeps saying, "You have heard it said, but I say to you," exposing the invisible fences our culture and traditions have built around us. Like a dog that never crosses a long-disconnected wire, we often stop at limits that are no longer there. Elisha did not need his circumstances changed; he prayed for his servant's eyes to be opened. Graham shares how keeping God's promise of provision before his eyes changed his heart, and he challenges us to humbly ask, "Lord, what are You saying to me about this?"
