Lesson 313: Now Let a New Perception Come to Me.

Send Hope a Text"Now let a new perception come to me" - these words invite us into a transformative experience where fear dissolves and love enters freely. Christ's vision offers a revolutionary way of seeing that beholds all things as sinless, not by denying our experiences but by recognizing their true purpose.Through startlingly honest examples about disappointing sexual encounters and terrible restaurant meals, Hope Johnson demonstrates how every experience—especially the ones we judge as "bad"—can be used for extending love rather than projecting guilt. This isn't about pretending bad experiences are good. It's about recognizing that our holiness remains untouched by illusions, and that every perception can serve our awakening to Christ's vision.The power of this teaching becomes evident in Hope's vulnerable sharing about facing a potentially traumatic situation. By immediately recognizing "there's no way I could be defiled," she experienced freedom from fear even in circumstances most would find terrifying. This isn't spiritual bypassing—it's the profound recognition that what causes suffering isn't external circumstances but our belief that we can be defiled.When we shift our perception from judgment to innocence, everyone benefits. Whether telling a chef their sushi was "the worst I've ever had" with a genuine smile and loving presence, or recognizing the perfect innocence in seemingly flawed encounters, this vision allows authentic connection without projection. The world becomes holy in our sight not because we've changed what's "out there," but because we've accepted the truth of what's within.Try this practice today: whenever judgment or fear arises, pause and ask, "Do I want to look on sin, or do I want to invite love?" Notice how this simple question reorients you toward Christ's vision, where everything—including you—is recognized as perfectly innocent.🕊️ Go deeper with meBook a 1:1 Session🌸 Give and Support my Ministry:Donate📙 Read, Watch, or Listen Substack
