There can be no transformation of change that is not confronted. What is not conquered will conquer.
There have been great sacrifices made for mankind to ensure his survival. We should be repentant for finding ourselves in the face of struggles that men have died to deliver us from. These battles were not conquered in the past and they have reemerged as future wars for our very existence. The systematic machine of the wicked is far more brutal than worldly evil people. It would have been easier to conquer evil people than it is to gain victory over the sinful mechanisms employed by Satan.
It is time to allow change to be ratified in the world. There have been costs paid by men like Adam and Jesus. One brought us sin and the other salvation. By not confronting the sin of the world, sin is now confronting the world.
Instead of the church offering the people deliverance through salvation, it operates as a rest home of comfort until the people gently die. Not much is expected from the people because they only exist in struggle, poverty, and pain. The people are not being taught how to fight in the spirit through prayer. To conquer that which is attempting to conquer the church.
It is time to limit contact with those who are no good for spiritual wellbeing. Empower the people with the knowledge that not everyone deserves access to their life. Teach them to create boundaries that protect their peace. Do this with the understanding that love is realized when you want what’s best for others even when it’s not with you. Let everything that we do come from love, and not for love. Weakness is revenge; strength is shown when we forgive. Positive people are taught the best revenge is none and to ignore attacks against their character. Because when you lose your temper, you have lost your power. Finally, lay the law down. Stop the affair you are having with your past, say it is over, you will no longer cheat on your future. We are one of a kind expression’s of God. As water reflects the face, our life reflects the heart. Leave behind a kind and humble character as your legacy. Change has been ratified.
1 Peter 5:1-13
New International Version
To the Elders and the Flock
5 “To the elders among you, I appeal as a fellow elder and a witness of Christ’s sufferings who also will share in the glory to be revealed: 2 Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not pursuing dishonest gain, but eager to serve; 3 not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away.
5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.
10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.
Final Greetings
12 With the help of Silas,[b] whom I regard as a faithful brother, I have written to you briefly, encouraging you and testifying that this is the true grace of God. Stand fast in it.
13 She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you her greetings, and so does my son Mark. 14 Greet one another with a kiss of love.
Peace to all of you who are in Christ.”
Romans 5:13
New International Version
13 “To be sure, sin was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not charged against anyone’s account where there is no law.”
Romans 7:7
New International Version
The Law and Sin
7 “What shall we say, then? Is the law sinful? Certainly not! Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.” ”
Proverbs 27:19
New International Version
19 “As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.”
