The Spirit of Divisiveness Comes in Many Forms

We think of divisiveness in the body of Christ as being those who bring a false Jesus. But there is a much more subtle form of division and that is the one that takes our focus off of Jesus Christ and onto other things in a more dramatic but covert way when more attention is paid to these things than to Christ Himself.

Beware of those who are easily offended by correction. Beware of those who talk more about the things of the world than they do about Jesus Christ and His principles.

Remember that what we talk about the most is what we love the most.

As a seasoned born-again believer, I am aware that as we grow in holiness we interpret all things in terms of His Word, His principles, and the way He thinks.

We cannot know the way Christ thinks merely by knowing His Word, we must be empowered by the Holy Spirit to understand His mind. Many people know the Bible but disobey much because they interpret His Word according to their own mindset not the mind of Christ.

John 16:12-14 "…12 I still have much to tell you, but you cannot yet bear to hear it. 13 However, when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all truth. For He will not speak on His own, but He will speak what He hears, and He will declare to you what is to come. 14 He will glorify Me by taking from what is Mine and disclosing it to you.…"

When we are consumed with the Holy Spirit everything that happens will be interpreted according to the mind of Christ. We will be far less impacted by the world and more impacted by the Holy Spirit leading.

When we are consumed with Christ we think very little about where our food comes from, who is leading the country and about the things that happen to us, except in how Christ works through these things.

He is the One in control of all things. There is not one thing that escapes His notice.

John 14:17

"the Spirit of truth. The world cannot receive Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you do know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you."

Do not expect to get your wisdom from the world, it must come from Christ Who dwells in every believer.

Do not allow worldly people to entice you into fear or acting rashly to protect yourself. Christ in us tells us what and when His way, we have no need to fear or act independently of His Word.

Hallelujah!!!!
