I’ve become the person I used to hate. I used to hate ppl that quoted Scripture all the time. Without the Spirit, Scripture makes no sense. Can’t thank God enough for choosing me when so many are blinded by darkness. I fear letting God down which only brings me closer to Him.
The world blinds the mind*
The world itself is a great cause of general spiritual blindness. The work of this god of this world is directly in antagonism with that of God.
Our lives are no longer worldly; they are now spiritual.
The new creature looks outwardly toward Christ instead of inwardly toward self. The old things died, nailed to the cross with our sin nature. 🌱🕊
“Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.”
Isaiah 49:15
Revelation 3:15.16
“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” #JesusIsComing
“Who knoweth not in all these That the hand of the LORD hath wrought this? In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind.”
Job 12:9-10
“In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,”
Ephesians 1:13
KJV || Romans 14:8
For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord:
Whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.”
Romans 8:16-17
Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
2 Corinthians 10:5-6
As Christians we look forward to a time when Jesus will come back for us and we are united with Him.
But the reality is not as it appears now, for we have already been united with Christ and are seated together in heavenly places.
Let's reflect the truth of this Heavenly unity.
