This is the last in the series, "Lift Up Your Eyes". We are encouraged in the Scriptures to lift up our eyes to see what God wants to show us (Genesis 13:14). Sometimes we just need to stop looking at everything around us and look up to see what God wants to reveal to us. What are you looking at? 

Several people being healed through words of knowledge and then several people sharing SOAPs (Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer). 

God desires to heal us inside and out. A physical healing is a wonderful thing to experience, but internal healing can be even more impactful on our lives. This message, shared by Stacy Just, is about receiving inner healing. She shares some helpful tools in how to receive it. 

We are New Testament priests. We are to offer God the sacrifice of praise, that it, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His Name (Hebrews 13:15). But the first sacrifice that God desires from us is to present our own body as a living sacrifice to God (Romans 12:1). Then, we are to be transformed by the renewing of our mind (Romans 12:2)

God has a plan for your life. The beginning place to find it, is in surrendering your life to Him. His plan will be the most fulfilling thing that we can do. 

We need to lift up our eyes from our present circumstances and behold what God has promised us. What has God promised us in the New Covenant? All the promises of God in Him (Christ) are Yes and Amen (1 Corinthians 1:20). Heaven is saying "YES" but God is waiting for someone on the earth to say "AMEN" (so be it in my life). 

The key to experiencing breakthrough is to rejoice. The breakthrough begins inside of us before we will experience it outwardly. God wants to give us breakthrough thinking but also breakthrough power to push through the opposition. 

This message is based on Genesis 13:14-17. God told Abram to lift his eyes and to look northward, southward, eastward and westward in order to see the land that God had given him. We have to lift our eyes from where we presently are to be able to beyond where God is taking us. For Abram it was the Promised Land. For us in the New Covenant it is the promises that God makes to us in Jesus Christ.
