WHEN PEOPLE CHANGE
Brother James, OIC
Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled.
Change is a constant force that fills the essence of all things. Change itself can be good or it can be evil. Change in the world is tethered to decay. Change in Christ means growth to Eternal Life. We can become alienated from God by our thoughts and we can become alienated from one another by these same thoughts. The one change that binds our hearts and minds together is the change that comes from Gods Word it changes us into a New Creation. Besides Change there is another constant in the world today. There are three types of individuals: Sons of God, sons of the Wicked One, and those who are becoming Sons of God. A Son of God is a completed change. Sons of the Wicked One will never know the call of God only that an invitation was given. And those who are the Called of God and are becoming the Sons of God are given to much testing to either secure their chosen place in Son-Ship or be a castaway to the Faith of Christ.
For most who are the called of God the greatest struggle against positive change is the struggle that causes them to look back to their past romancing its deceptions. This is the sole work of the Devil who seeks to divide you from finishing your race in Faith.
Believing God is a High Calling. Few have the Faith even the size of a mustard or things would happen in a positive way for them. Jesus stated:
Mat 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of a mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
From Mustard Seed size Faith you can move mountains but mountains are never moved by looking back.
Luk 9:62 And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
This is why it is most necessary for those who are still small in their Faith to grow under the watchful loving care of an anointed minister.
Gal 4:1-2 Now I say, That the heir, as long as he is a child, differeth nothing from a servant, though he be lord of all; But is under tutors and governors until the time appointed of the father
Rebellion is what causes the change in those who might be saved to turn back. Once the turning has begun the spirit of rebellion enters and starts telling them they have rights, control, freedom of choice and gives them the mind set I will do what I want when I want. They turn from the Light and Love of Liberty in Christ to darkness (though to thenm it appears by deception as Light). But you must remember:
1Co 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
While negative change always comes from rebellion positive change comes from submission to Gods Word and those given rule over you.
1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Jas 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Your thoughts your reasoning’s your attitude will change as you rebuke rebellion and submit to where Light has called you and then Positive Change will be eminent.
