TODAY’S SCRIPTURE: ” THAT, IN REFERENCE TO YOUR FORMER MANNER OF LIFE, YOU LAY ASIDE THE OLD SELF, WHICH IS BEING CORRUPTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LUSTS OF DECEIPT, AND THAT YOU BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND, AND PUT ON THE NEW SELF, WHICH IN THE LIKENESS OF GOD HAS BEEN CREATED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HOLINESS OF THE TRUTH.” EPHESIANS 4:22-24
TODAY’S MESSAGE: Our lives on this earth cause us to become dirty because of the ways of the world and the thoughts of those around us. We are born into a life of sin. As we live our lives in the world, we continue get dirtier and dirtier with the thoughts and actions that we are prompted to go along with. We doubt, fear, get angry, hold grudges, lie and cheat among many other compromised actions. When we come to Jesus, we must become clean. We must throw away our old self and begin a new type of life. We are put on a new change of clothes making ourselves complete with the ideas of Jesus. We must begin our journey in Christ by becoming a child once again. We must throw away the learning we have attained in the world and begin to learn all over again. The ways of Jesus are completely different from the ways we were living in the world. We are to do away with our anger, deceit, lusts and worry, doubt and fear. Living in the world is much like living in a cult. When we escape, we must train ourselves once again to live in a different way. This is not an easy venture. It is a course that takes time to complete. We must not only become aware of the Lord’s new ideas, but we must also be able to live them by applying them to our daily lives. It takes a study of the Word of God along with meditation in his word. It takes daily communication with our Lord through prayer. It takes a confident person from the world and turns them into a humbled person before God. We are to become one in Christ. We are to look like him, live like him, and talk like him. When others look at us, they are to see a change. The time gets closer and closer each day for the return of our Lord Jesus. When that happens the period of grace will be complete. Don’t miss the opportunity! JESUS IS LORD! PRAISE THE LORD IN ALL SITUATIONS!
