Kingdom Mindset: Seeing Yourself Through the Father’s Eyes.

Talk by Liz GreggWhat happens when we stop seeing ourselves through the eyes of shame, comparison and self-criticism—and begin to see ourselves through the loving eyes of the Father?In this message, we continue exploring Kingdom versus Empire, discovering how our mindset shapes the way we see God, ourselves and others.An empire mindset is marked by separation, scarcity, certainty, perfectionism and self-centredness. But the Kingdom mindset invites us into connection, abundance, mystery, humility and grace.Jesus calls us to love God with all our heart, soul and mind, and to love our neighbour as ourselves. But what does that actually look like? And how do we learn to love ourselves rightly when our inner voice is often filled with criticism and shame?Drawing on Psalm 139, Psalm 131, Romans 8:1, Proverbs 27:17 and 2 Corinthians 10:5, we explore:Who does the Father say I am?How being made in God's image shapes our identityLearning to gaze into the Father's loving eyesBreaking the cycle of negative self-talkTaking destructive thoughts captiveWhy community is essential to Kingdom transformationHow love becomes the grace that enables us to changeMoving from shame and disconnection into healing and freedomA powerful testimony from Bethel about a persecuted convert who encountered the overwhelming love of Jesus after a bombing reminds us that the Kingdom is not simply something we believe—it is something we encounter.The message finishes with prayer, reflection and an invitation to encounter the Father's love.Perhaps the question isn't simply, "What do I think about myself?"Perhaps it's: "What does the Father see when He looks at me?"Take some time to slow down, listen and let the Father's love reshape the way you see yourself.
