- The starting point – we exist with God in a horizontal and a vertical positioning.,
- Horizontally – (inward – our mental state) When we have God’s perspective all aspects of our lives begin to change
- How we view ourselves
- What we think about ourselves
- Whether we are going up or down
- Vertically – (inward – our spiritual state)
- We see the supremacy of God
- We approach God without fear
- We approach God without intimidation
- We approach God without reservation
- Our vertical relationship with God makes our horizontal perspective more positive.
- How we deal with others (i.e. what we pray, our communication, our thought life with respect to them) changes to match how God has dealt with you.
- This causes us to be embracing of the body, especially those that we are suspicious of
- We see God operating in people and begin to celebrate that.
