Never Going Back!

I think about the battle we as Christians fight everyday - the one against ourselves. When once we were born of the Spirit of God, we have become new creations (2 Cor. 5:17). A creation fashioned to think differently, to act differently, to live differently - to live by the Spirit. Why then do most of us continue to live as though we are the same old person? God has accepted us to be His child, a child that can come to His throne room and operate in confidence, in boldness, with wisdom and with strength. Do not let the old you sneak up on you and prevent you from experiencing Father's best in your life. I read, anything that God allows to happen in your life is the best thing for you. So what if I lose my job, my house, my family? If we are children of God walking by the Spirit and in obedience, then that is the very best thing. Accept it and praise Him! Don't revert back to your old self and your old ways of thinking, instead, take every thought captive that goes against God and make it obedient to Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). We as Christians face so much opposition everywhere we go. The world hates us because of Jesus in us. The last thing we need is to allow our minds and thoughts to get the best of us. Remember, "It is absolutely clear that God has called you to a free life. Just make sure that you don't use this freedom as an excuse to do whatever you want to do and destroy your freedom. Rather, use your freedom to serve one another in love; that's how freedom grows." Gal 5:13. Love you guys, God bless.
