What’s your perspective?

This video illustrates how one’s perspective can turn something amazing into something incredible.

Another video illustrates a similar principle:

Bro. Branham has this to say about an unique statue of Jesus.
57-0309E JEHOVAH.JIREH_ PHOENIX.AZ SATURDAY_
« E-36 † Some time ago I was talking to a man named John Sproul. He’s a good friend of mine. Used to go through the country many years ago, with the old Glory Barn. I don’t know if he was ever out here or not. He went through the eastern country. And a lot of you eastern people will remember John Sproul. And he was one of Brother Bosworth’s converts. He was healed with a bad throat where He’d got gas with him… mustard gas sucked into his nose and throat and brain. And he didn’t have no voice at all, and Brother Bosworth prayed for him; he got healed. Called his wife up and she fainted. And he went out anointing the sick and praying for them.
Took a little vacation and went over to France and went out to Alsace Lorraine France. He was going through a great garden, and he found a statue of the Lord Jesus. And he was standing there with his wife, he said, in amazement, saying, “Look at that. What did the sculpture mean? Why, the thing doesn’t have nothing but just… it’s a shape. You can’t see no suffering of Christ there.”
And a guide come up to him and said, “Mr. Sproul, I suppose you’re criticizing that?”
He said, “I am.”
He said, “Now, come here just a moment.” And he took him up and there was a altar built there beneath the statue. And so he said, “Kneel down.” And he knelt down. Said, “Now, look up.”
“Oh,” he said he felt like his heart would just break. There was every suffering of Christ. There was every agony that He went through. Looked like the sculptor had reproduced that in His features of His face.

And so he turned and looked again to the–to the guide. He said, “Mr. Sproul,” said, “You see, the sculptor had in mind one thing.” Said, “That when he made this statue, he didn’t make it for people to stand off and look at it this a way. He made it so the people’d bow down and look up to it this a way.”
And that’s the same way it is with every promise in the Bible. It isn’t for you to try to mix it with your worldly wisdom, to try to figure out, “How could God do this? How could God do that?” The Bible wasn’t written for that. The Bible’s promises were written for you to bow down and look up to. Then they’ll look different to you, when you look up to them like that.

What about your perspective of the Message? 
Did FDR lead the world into war January 1, 1942, via the declaration of the United Nations, against Hitlerism-creating the United Nations in the process?  Or is the fact that the US was not in WW II until 1941 a stumbling block for you?  http://contendingforthemessage.com/2015/01/23/the-united-nations-roosevelts-legacy-of-world-war-2/

Was the Siegfried Line really where the US lost 43% of it’s European force, or was it just a place that not much really happened. 43% of the US forces buried in Europe are in cemeteries along the Siegfried line.

Perspective on Scripture”
Doctrinally speaking, Is your perspective a complete revelation of scripture?  Or is it a parsing of certain scriptures that really don’t add up to much of anything?

Watch as bro. Branham places several scriptures on water baptism that have been confused and brings them around to the revelation which, then weaves seamlessly into the Godhead.

Now that is the revelation: Jesus Christ is God. The Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. No matter how hard you try, you can’t prove there are THREE Gods. But it also takes a revelation by the Holy Spirit to make you understand the truth that He is One. It takes a revelation to see that the Jehovah of the Old Testament is the Jesus of the New. Satan crept into the church and blinded the people to this truth. And when they were blinded to it, it wasn’t long until the Church of Rome stopped baptizing in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

I admit that it takes a real revelation from the Holy Ghost to see the truth about the Godhead these days when we are in the midst of the perverting of so much Scripture. But the prevailing, overcoming church is built on revelation so we can expect God to reveal His truth to us. However, you actually don’t need a revelation on water baptism. It is right there staring you in the face. Would it be possible for one minute for the apostles to be led astray from a direct command of the Lord to baptize in the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost and then find them in willful disobedience? They knew what the Name was, and there is not one place in Scripture where they baptized any other way than in the Name of Lord Jesus Christ. Common sense would tell you that the Book of Acts is the church in action, and if they baptized that way, then that is the way to baptize. Now if you think that is strong, what do you think of this? Anyone who was not baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus had to be baptized over again.

Acts 19:1-6, “And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed? And they said unto him, We have not so much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized? And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul, John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people, that they should believe on Him Which should come after him, that is, on Christ Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they spake with tongues and prophesied.” There it is. These good people at Ephesus had heard about the coming Messiah. John had preached Him. They were baptized unto repentance of sins, looking FORWARD to believing on Jesus. But now it was time to look BACK to Jesus and be baptized unto REMISSION of sins. It was time to receive the Holy Ghost. And when they were baptized in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Paul laid his hands on them and the Holy Ghost came upon them.

What’s your perspective?  Like the videos, do you see a pile of trash or a masterpiece, do you see some pretty candles or a cube that nearly becomes 3D when the perspective changes?  Regarding the Word- do you see something God took and made into an amazing masterpiece, or just a bunch of contradictions? What you see show’s your perspective and it shows clearly your heart. May God bless you richly!
