In his Image

We live in a society where most people want to be accepted by their peers, and regarded well by others.

But in reality we will not be liked by everyone, even in the Body of Christ.

Jesus said:

John 15 NIV
18.“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. 19. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.

The spirit of worldliness is a growing epidemic in the Body of Christ, and we have to rebel against it.

This spirit needs to be bound and cast out in the Name of Jesus, and if need be, cast out of the spiritual leaders in the Church.

We should not have the characteristics of those in the world (we are the salt of the earth).

We will not have favor with all men, but we can have favor with GOD, who can turn the hearts of others either towards us or against us.

Proverbs 21:1
The king's heart is in the hand of the LORD; he directs it like a watercourse wherever he pleases.

Seek to be in fellowship with the true vine, and all the things you have concerns about will be added unto you if it be God’s will.

Because in him we do not compromise but overcome by the testimony of our Faith.


Matthew 6 Amp Bible

^33.But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness (His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

^34.So do not worry or be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will have worries and anxieties of its own. Sufficient for each day is its own trouble.

Agape!
