The Power Within

Christians are the most powerful beings that exist and certainly the only kind in existence. How can I make such claims? My authority comes from God's Word. Revelation 1:6 And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Also, 1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light;). what does that say to you? To me it says that we a the people of God are special! I do not know anywhere else, or in any other books written about the people groups of this planet described as Christians are in the scriptures. Do you? The thing is, we have to believe that we are who God says we are and walk in it daily to show God's presence in the earth. Christians try too hard to look like, act like and be like everyone else to fit in, when that's not why Jesus came to make us fit in. He told us that they hated him and the world will hate us also. We are to stand out or how can people see the difference in us. Well, maybe we just decided to overlook the words of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ because "we know what's best." We decided that "since Jesus didn't live in this day and age, what he said is really not relevant to us, times have changed". Truly times have changed and that's why we need to cling even more closer to Jesus' words. If God decided to send Jesus to us in 2013 (instead of when he did) and he grew up in our society, he would still be the same, act the same, condemn the same, heal the same, bless the same, pay tribute the same, speak God's Word the same and die for us so that we could be free to do the same as he did and even greater that he did. (John 14:12) The power within Christians is a sustaining power to help us live through the changes in society without changing us. We have to be single minded. We cannot allow the world's philosophy enter into our thinking, decision making, and actions. Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today and forever. I can imagine how the Father see's us. Jesus walking and leading us, but no one is following him. It's like children playing follow the leader, and the leader looks back and the ones who are supposed to be following have turned and gone in other directions. Not a great picture of what God intended. Jesus is not a bad leader...we are bad followers if we are being conformed to this world! Romans 12:1-2 Get behind our leader and do as he does. Jesus did what the Father told him to do, and said what the Father told him to say. Jesus left us a great legacy to walk in for our lives. Let's turn it all around and follow our Leader daily. When we begin following Jesus and doing as he did, then we will see a change in our society for the better. 2 Chronicles 7:14 "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. Then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land." 2 CORINTHIANS 5:20 WE ARE AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
