Don't see where you are, see from where you are.

In this kingdom, it is seeing what we see in the spirit that produces the result. When he said, this is what God said, you have what? You have seen well. There are people who are not seeing well. See, listen, you think that it is pity that compels results. Lie, lie, it is faith. I remember I was in a season, we're going to have something to do years back, we're on campus. I was not going to be able to graduate without paying this money. Leading the campus fellowship, I step on the altar to preach. God said, announce to the members that all the bills that they have been praying for you about, that is paid. If there's going to be any seed, this is the people God will use. You are telling me to tell the same people that the money is paid? He said yes. Let me tell you something. Sometimes the route you think the blessing will come from embarrasses the nature of God. It is an embarrassment to his sovereignty. He looks at you, looks— you know, you cannot expect beyond what you can predict. When they met the man at the Beautiful Gate, the Bible said he was looking at them, open to receive alms from their hands. But what was coming that day was not from their hand but from his head. He said, look on us, silver and gold.
