Indomitable: Change Your Perspective, Change Your Life

Catch Up on: YouTube |  iTunes | Spotify

Everything flows from perspective. The way you see the world determines the way you live in it. Over the past few weeks, we’ve been laying some foundations for an indomitable life that cannot be shaken.

We’ve talked about:

• The power of predecision

• Staying unshakable in identity and unstoppable in purpose

• Keeping calm and trusting in the Lord, rather than leaning on our own understanding

  
  

Here’s why this matters: followers of Jesus are not called to blend in or conform to culture. We are called to transform the culture, to be difference makers. And for that, you need courage and the right perspective.

Your effectiveness in life—your influence, your resilience, your purpose—depends on perspective.

When you have the right perspective about these four things, you will live effectively:

1. Yourself

2. Others

3. Everything you have

4. Life itself

   
   

Change your perspective, and you change your life.

In Daniel 2, we find a sobering, perspective-shifting story. Nebuchadnezzar—the most powerful, wealthy, and influential man of his day—had a troubling dream. No one could interpret it, and in his fury, he ordered all the wise men to be executed. That included Daniel.

But God revealed the dream and its meaning to Daniel. Here’s what it was: A giant statue made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and clay—then a rock, not cut by human hands, smashed the statue to pieces and grew to fill the earth.

• The gold head? Babylon—wealth, opulence, comfort. (Downfall: pride and moral decay)

• The silver chest? Persia—law, governance, control. (Downfall: overreach)

• The bronze torso? Greece—wisdom, philosophy, culture. (Downfall: division)

• The iron legs? Rome—engineering, power, military might. (Downfall: corruption)

Each kingdom dominated history, but each one fell. Every empire built on human power, pride, and achievement eventually collapsed.

The Fifth Kingdom

Daniel 2:44-45 tells us something incredible:

“In the days of those kings, the God of the heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed… It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.”

That rock represents the Kingdom of God—a kingdom that will outlast every human empire.

During Rome’s rule, Jesus came preaching this very message:

“Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has come near.” (Matthew 4:17)

This is the Kingdom you and I are invited into. A Kingdom that will never fall. A Kingdom that cannot be defeated.

You have a choice:

• Live for your kingdom—chasing comfort, control, wisdom, and power (but watch how those always crumble).

• Or live for God’s Kingdom—which is eternal, unshakable, indomitable.

When you choose God’s Kingdom, it changes your perspective in four ways:

1. See Yourself Differently

You are not the hero of the story—but you are royalty in God’s Kingdom. You have value, identity, and purpose because the King has invited you in.

2. See Others Differently

They’re not obstacles, objects, or enemies. They are people God loves—waiting for an invitation into His Kingdom.

3. See Everything You Have Differently

Your time, talents, and resources don’t belong to you. They belong to the King. You’re a steward, entrusted to live generously and honor Him.

4. See Life Differently

This isn’t all there is. Eternity starts now—not when you die. That perspective makes you indomitable, even when life gets hard. Because the story you’re living is bigger than today.

The Bottom Line

Every human kingdom—every empire built on comfort, control, wisdom, and power—crumbles. But the Kingdom of God will never fall. And that Kingdom is here.

“He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.”(Colossians 1:13-14)

So, the question is: Which kingdom are you living for?

When you choose God’s Kingdom:

• You’ll see yourself as a child of the King.

• You’ll see others as those Jesus died for.

• You’ll see what you have as His, entrusted to you.

• You’ll see life as the beginning of forever.

And when you live with that perspective, you become unstoppable in your purpose. You become indomitable.
