Everything visual these days is moving to 3D. We have 3 dimensional movies--which are very expensive--we have 3 dimensional televisions, 3 dimensional video games and 3D phones. People are so excited about seeing something extra, but in fact what you are really seeing is a distortion--not another dimension.
God wants us to see with our spiritual dimension vision. That's an advantage of being saved. When you are a sinner you can only see things as a sinner, but when you become redeemed and can say so, you now have a different perspective, thanks to a Holy Ghost paradigm shift. Romans 12: 1-2 says it best:
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
SDV allows the discipled Christian to mature knowing that although tragedy befalls me--what the enemy meant for bad, God has moved heaven and earth to make that thing work out in my favor. Even in the midst of my struggle and in the middle of my storm, I can have peace that passes all understanding because of the way I see things. When there's trouble on the water, Jesus stands there in the water beckoning me to come out there with him--just like He did with Peter. He wants me to keep my focus and my eyes trained on Him. He wants me to trust that in the midst of it all, He is my source. God is the strength of my life--whom shall I fear and of whom shall I be afraid? No one can pluck me out of His hand and no one can change His will for my life. I am who He says that I am and I have the promises that His Word extends to me.
The enemy's job is to steal, to kill and to destroy. He wants to hold up the blessings and the anointing that you've been praying and longing for. He wants to cloud your vision with false realities. Reality is what you experience in your relationship with the Father. The enemy wants to distort the very revelation of the Word of God for your life and if we are not careful we will revert to regular old natural vision. We will look at people and their actions instead of praying in the spirit for them and for ourselves. We will look at circumstances and feel helpless and hopeless, instead of looking to the hills and keeping our heads lifted so that the King of Glory can rest in our situation.
When you move into SDV you become purposeful and serious about your praise. You understand that your praise is a warring spirit. As a matter of fact the fight that you launch into the spirit realm when you open up your mouth, lift your hands and give God praise here in the natural is a like putting 1000 enemies to flight. If you touch and agree and pray with another, its like chasing 10,000 enemies away. Why do you think the enemy works so hard at dissension and division? Because in the spiritual realm our praise is exponentially magnified when we agree because where two or three get together God comes to dwell in the midst. With your SDV you begin to see the movement of the enemy more clearly. You see that he wants to take your blessings, steal your joy, mess with you family, and hold up your anointing. The the devil is a liar! He can't stop nothing! King David was so serious about his praise that he danced out of his clothes. When you begin to see that the enemy has it out for you, then you ought to have a King David type of praise because the fact is that we need to get what God has for us by any praise necessary. If that's an advanced praise, then count me in. If that's a shabach, then count me in. If that means I've got to open my mouth to give Him all the glory that He is due, I'd wish I had 10,000 tongues and that wouldn't even be enough to Thank God for who He is and for what He's done.

Your praise clears the path for your blessings to come to you that's why we sing when the praises go up, the blessings come down. Your praise also opens up a channel for you to communicate directly to the Father. Yes communicate. For the most part when we pray we spend a great deal of our time talking to God, but not listening to God. Our prayers are like dialing up a friend, saying everything we want and need to say and then hanging up before they can even say hello. But praise helps us to understand that we have two way communication with the Father. He wants to speak to us and to give us instructions on how to release and to receive what He has for us.
Be encouraged today to change your perspective. Do you have a debt that you know you cannot pay? Good. Here's your opportunity to understand that God is your source and your resource. Give the situation to Him. Don't limit Him by thinking of all the ways you could handle the situation--who you could borrow from, how you could get an extra job--please don't do that. Instead begin to praise Him in advance and begin speaking into that situation as though it is already taken care of--as if the debt were already paid and you have moved on to the next thing because we must speak those things that are not as if they already were. Get serious about your praise on this day! Use your God given SDV. Be encouraged to praise your way through. Keep your eyes trained on God.
