Those Who Rage and Those who Confess

Those who rage easily when challenged about their attitude or conduct are deeply fearful people.

Those who are secure and free from guilt may feel bad that someone thinks ill of them but they are not threatened by a challenge when they know the disagreement is without merit.
 
Fear in the guilty party is what drives defensiveness. Those who are overtly unkind are readily seen but the covert ones know what they have done and are easily angered because they sense the insecure feeling that they have been exposed.
 
Exposure of narcissistic individuals is the worst form of attack to them, in their own mind. This is the reason for the rage even when the challenge is minor.
Secrecy is the hallmark of those who are easily offended. They live in a world in their mind that must keep up false appearances in order to maintain a fondness for themselves.
 
This is also the reason we see so many cliques in the church and other organizations, people must feel elevated in order to have a sense of worth to the world. Born-again believers have no need to be accepted by others because their worth and well being is in Jesus Christ.
 
When we encounter someone who walks around on eggshells out of fear we have met someone guilty of something.
 
There is no reason to fear a challenge or become enraged when someone disagrees with us when we understand that everyone has a right to their own ideas and that we are not "lesser" because someone else does not validate us through agreement.
We are not enmeshed with anyone but Christ as believers. We have no need to be supported by someone else to remain faithful to our own beliefs.
 
Those who are insecure and full of guilt are the ones who are easily offended by anything that might make them think about their own actions or attitudes. They see disagreement as a personal attack and will defend themselves when no defensiveness is necessary.
 
Proverbs 28:1. “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion”
 
Proverbs 29:11-20
"Fools are quick to express their anger, but wise people are patient and control themselves".
 
Wise people are those who find it easy to admit things about themselves that need work but the fool must elevate themselves as perfect. They must have the admiration of others around them to feel of value. This is called co-dependency, when someone is highly dependent on appearances and the praise of men more than substance. Character does not matter much to those who are full of guilt, only how they appear to others is of any value to them.
 
Authenticity and truth are low on the spectrum of character with the narcissist. They will twist the words of others and even the words of God to justify what they wish to believe about themselves and others.
 
Matthew 23:27-28 "27 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside, but on the inside are full of dead men’s bones and every kind of impurity. 28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to be righteous, but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."

A believer must continually evaluate their own attitudes so that when the attitude becomes an action it will reflect the glory of God and not themselves.
 
2 Corinthians 3:18 "
But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."

The only way to grow and progress in holiness is to keep close accounts of our attitudes and actions, and confess it to God when necessary and to anyone we have harmed by our words or actions. Confessing only to God when others were involved does not fix a relationship. Relationships are mended by one party admitting the fault and the offended party forgiving. 
 
1 John 1:9
"9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous, so that He will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Luke 17:3 says, "If your brother sins against you, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him". The verse continues, "If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, 'I repent,' forgive him".

The World or God

When the world speaks of love they talk about emotions associated with attraction, whether appearances or common interests.
When God speaks about love He is guiding us according to His salvation, good sense and reasonable rational thinking according to His Word.
Many Christians have been led astray by the world's way of thinking so much so that they can no longer wrap their minds around the wisdom of God. They will even read God's word with their worldly mindset negating God's meanings.
Psychology has twisted many principles of life because it comes from the teachings of Darwin and not the Bible. Darwin was raised in a Christian environment but in his rebellion against God he set out to disprove the Word of God by reading the writings of evolutionists. He was not the first person to bring this idea to the public, he was just born in a time when the culture was ready to receive it, at least in part.
Darwin taught that people were nothing more than animals who did everything according to instinct. That there is no right and wrong. He erroneously taught that good stimuli would cause an animal to be good and bad stimuli would cause an animal to be mean. This left the blame for bad behavior on the person who caused the angry reaction instead of on the person who caused the problem and reacted in rage.
This may work for animals but people do not operate this way. People are specially made by God with reasoning and the ability to learn and choose right from wrong. Animals are not like this, they are driven by instinct to protect themselves or to love those who provide something for them. We love them but they are users after all.
When human beings act like animals following their feelings entirely without rational thinking they destroy relationships and build within themselves concrete barriers to empathy, kindness, and selfless love toward others.
Our modern Christian culture has taken on more of the world and the ideas of Darwinism than they adhere to the principles of Christ. Many are in the church gatherings but have never known Christ.
Because of the distorted idea of worldly love, problems cannot be resolved and impatience and hypersensitivity to criticism, which would be of help, runs high and is supported by almost everyone around the one who refuses correction.
Since "correction and rebuke" are the new hate speech few people can improve in their character and important relationship problems cannot be resolved. If you don't believe me take a look at the divorce rate and the disrespect of young people and even married people toward their aging parents.
Many people if not most, are experiencing levels of disrespect that are beyond anything in past generations. Here is what we are seeing as described by God in His Word:
2 Timothy 4:3-4 "3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4. So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths."
2 Timothy 3:1-5
Difficult Times Will Come
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult (RAGINGLY INSANE) times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these."
1 Timothy 4:1
"Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons,"
Jude 1:17-19 "17 But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.”
19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit."

Enjoy How God Made You

We are seeing bad being called good and good being called bad everywhere and in all matters.
Divorce and remarriage are called good when God calls it sin.
Malachi 2:16“ For I hate divorce,” says the LORD, the God of Israel. “He who divorces his wife covers his garment with violence,” says the LORD of Hosts. So guard yourselves in your spirit and do not break faith."
Abortion is called good these days and God hates murder.
God said there is male and female while feminists of the world are calling it good to attempt to be like men. Sadly this diminishes women basically saying the gender of a woman is worthless and the gender of men is superior, the reason they must become like men. They ridiculously think that becoming like a man makes them superior while diminishing their own gender as worthless.
I have to say this, if you are a woman and you love Christ you will be pleased with the gender He made you to be and embrace your womanhood as something to enjoy.
A woman who diminishes herself by attempting to be like a man is an insecure shame-filled person driven by the worldly lust of being accepted by the world which is dominated by the thoughts and intents of the devil to thwart God's plan and His creation.
1 John 2:15-16 " 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…"
Ignore the foolish worldly ways and be what God made you to be, this is how to be full of joy!
There are many other things like this in our day when even "Christians" are defending the evil thing calling it love when it is hate.
I have to say this, if you are a woman and you love Christ you will be pleased with the gender He made you to be and embrace your womanhood as something to enjoy.

God Loved Us so Much He was Willing to Die to Save Whomever would Repent and Trust in him

Thinking About Christ Every Hour of Every Day

Psalm 117
"A Psalm of Praise. "117 Praise the Lord, all nations; Sing His praises, all peoples! 2 For His mercy toward us is great, And the truth of the Lord is everlasting. Praise [d]the Lord!"
It isn't possible for a born again believer to go one hour without thinking about Jesus Christ.
Acts 17:28
"28 For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring."
Hallelujah!!!

Demonic Mind Games Narcissists Use to Manipulate You

Christ in Believers is on Their Side

Pride is at the root of all sin as it was for the devil when he was thrown out of heaven. He wanted to be above God as is true of everyone who refuses to trust in Christ.
Those who claim to be Christians but resist what God says in the Scriptures are demonstrating the same rebellion the devil exhibited when he was cast out of the presence of God.
Revelation 12:7-12
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,
8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
When you encounter irrational and unjust hatred from others remember the source is the devil and the haters are his pawns.
1 John 4A:3-4, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and which is already in the world at this time. 4 You, little children, are from God and have overcome them, because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. That is why they speak from the world’s perspective, and the world listens to them.
Bottom Line: stop agonizing over how you are treated by wicked people and rejoice that Christ is on your side.

Who Do You Stand With, Christ or the World

In this present day full of arrogant and self-absorbed people we are continually running into people who think we are too radical if we love the Lord Jesus Christ with all our hearts enough to speak His word boldly and live what we believe.
Many people "say" they are "bible believers" but negate more of the Bible than they obey, thinking they are special and compliant for adhering to some of the principles of Jesus Christ while ignoring and twisting others.
Mark 7:13
"13 thereby invalidating the word of God by your tradition which you have handed down; and you do many things such as that.”
The words of God they ignore or malign are the ones they are guilty of violating so they pretend not to see them or worse change their meaning to fit their desired beliefs.
2 Timothy 4:3 "For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance with their own desires,"
I have not been chastised for not following scripture, but I have been chastised many times for declaring what God said to those who claim to be Christians.
I have not been chastised by unbelievers for using the word of God because they don't know it and have no means of refuting what I say to them. However, I have been treated with contempt and dismissiveness by those who say they are Christians who want to defend their false version of truth to be able to accept the very things God hates.
2 Timothy 4:2-4 "…2 Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and encourage with every form of patient instruction. 3 For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires. 4 So they will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.…"
We are living in the days of the great apostasy in which the organized church system cares more about pleasing the pew people than they do about obeying Christ.
Isaiah 30:10
They say to the seers, "Stop seeing visions!" and to the prophets, "Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions."
These are the times we are living in right now as prophesied in Isaiah.
The following passage tells us what to do in these times of rebellion.
2 Timothy 1:13
"Hold on to the pattern of sound teaching you have heard from me, with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus."
2 Timothy 3:1-5
Difficult (ragingly insane) Times Will Come
3 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.
2 For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, slanderers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these.
We are living in the days just like those of Noah when few will want to hear the truth and the laborers are few. We are a small remnant who care about the heart of God. Most people, yes and even in the church gatherings, will follow their own desires and negate God's word to feel justified in their rebellion.
In verse 5 of 2 Timothy 3 we read that the solution for us is to avoid such people who refuse to hear truth while claiming they are Christian. God says they will have a form of godliness but negate His Word in favor of their lust for pleasure and self-exaltation.
Do not become anxious about this brothers and sisters, do not take it personally, they would be mean and rude to anyone who challenges their hypocrisy and lies against God. And, remember too that we are living in our "boot camp" in which we must learn to be strong, for our learning to be able to lead with Christ in the Millennium.
These times of rejection will serve us well as we learn to stand alone with Christ. The most blessed person is the one who can be alone and rejected while being empowered by the Holy Spirit in us to avoid being sucked into the mess of the world.
1 John 2:14-16 "14 I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one. 15 Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh, the desires of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not from the Father but from the world.…"
Who do you stand with, the world or with Christ, you cannot do both?

STOP Using THIS Christian Quote!! (It’s WRONG)

Transformation not Conversion

God told us to go into the world and preach the gospel to all nations. He never at any time told us to bring the world into the worship time of believers.
The gathering of believers is to worship Christ and to equip the saints for the work of evangelism. When we bring in unbelievers to evangelize them we dilute the message of holiness for those who wish to walk according to God's Word.
Ephesians 4:12-16
12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ,
13 until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ,
14 so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes.
15 Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ,
16 from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."f
After we have preached the gospel to someone and they have trusted in Christ realizing their own sinful nature and repenting from it, they then become born again by the power of the Holy Spirit, not by their own words or their feelings of pain but by the transformation Christ does in them.
Romans 12:2
"2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect."
If someone says they converted to Christianity it is likely they were never born again. To convert means someone made the choice to join without the transforming work of Christ.
When we trusted in Christ He transformed us completely changing how we think through the Power of the Holy Spirit Whom He placed in us to be our teacher, our guide and our comforter.
Those who convert to become acceptable to "the club" they think they joined are attempting to please men and their own conscience through good works but are not being led by the Holy Spirit.
This is the reason we have so many deceived pretenders in the church gatherings today, they like the idea of "being a Christian" so they decided to make themselves a better person in the eyes of others.
If there was no brokenness over someone's sinful nature and no desire to be changed by Christ then there is no salvation and no transformation. It is tantamount to the Eve experience in the garden where the devil convinced Eve she could become good enough to be like God.
Those who are converted are still "the world" and do not understand the things of Christ because He does not live in them.
1 Corinthians 2:14 states, "The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned".
This is the reason we have so much resistance to the truths of the ?Bible within the modern church gatherings. Many people claim they are Bible believers but do not obey Christ in many things. They twist the scriptures to make the words of God mean what they want it to say denying Him as they do it, while claiming they are speaking for Him.
2 Timothy 3:5-7
5 holding to a form of godliness although they have denied its power; avoid such people as these. 6 For among them are those who slip into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
Notice this is the state of the modern church, they are always learning while denying the truth. They are weak minded and full of pride thinking their pride is the same as strength when it is weakness at it's worst.
Satan teaches the watered-down version of the Bible mixed with psychology to confuse and defraud those who live the pretense of Christianity.
There is a very big clue we can see among those who "converted" rather than being transformed, and that is there seems to be no Spiritual fervor and no desire to grow in holiness. The lifestyle may be somewhat better to fit into the newfound group they desire but it is mechanical and lacks enthusiasm for Christ. Often these people regress back to their old lifestyle while shouting "don't judge" to misguide through intimidation those who are weak in the faith.
May we not shrink back from challenging those who are not growing emotionally and Spiritually. If we love them we want them to be sure of their salvation, if they are not we hope they will ask Christ to change them into a new creation so that they will no longer be pretenders.
Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
It is only through transformation by the Holy Spirit that anyone is saved from hell. Conversion in our own minds will never save us, only this life-giving transformation when Christ completely changes the way we think and comes to live in us that we can see heaven.

Stop Declaring People As Good or Bad According to the Flesh

I am dismayed when someone declares someone a "nice guy" or a "nice lady", they are making a judgment about them when they have no idea what their home life is like. They are basing their judgment on how friendly they are to the one making the judgment.
Even worse there are many people judging someone as "great" or "wonderful" because of some talent they have that pleases the one making the judgment.
judgment
When someone says; "don't judge", they must be consistent to be convincing. If one believes we should not judge bad in someone's behavior then they should never judge good in someone's behavior.
Behavior can be a manipulation to fool people into believing someone is good when behind the scenes with people they don't like they act rudely and even wickedly. Never take good behavior as an indicator of one's character. We must judge righteously with the discernment of the Holy Spirit based on the Word of God.
Those who are born again and living their behavior according to the Spirit will be able to be seen by other born again believers. The Holy Spirit is able to tell us when someone is genuine or counterfeit.
Satan loves to draw in kind hearted people through false inauthentic behavior.
How do we know if someone is false or genuine? Here is what God says that helps us distinguish between those who love God and those who are pretending to be good people.
Matthew 7:15-20
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them."
And,
Galatians 5:22-23 " 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.…"
Born Again believers do not practice unkindness, unloving and manipulative ways. If they catch themselves acting rudely they are deeply convicted and repair the damage they did through confession of it and sorrow for it.
Romans 8:5
"Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit."
We can tell when someone loves us or hates us because we know what love looks like when we walk with Christ. Here is what God tells us love looks like:
1 Corinthians 13:4-8a
4 Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant.
5 It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered,
6 it does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 it keeps every confidence, it believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
8 Love never fails;
A relationship based on love will never harm the persons of its love. Those who love protect and are loyal to those they love.
When our loved one falls we feel bad and want to help. Those who do not love only want to further harm the one for whom they have contempt.
When we walk in the Spirit of Christ we can easily see the difference between love and role playing that only serves to hoodwink the one being manipulated.
May each one reading this post self-reflect to see if they are walking in the Spirit or if they are walking according to the flesh to gain advantage over others.
1 Corinthians 13:1 says, "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal".
Only those who love deeply by the Holy Spirit of God will be able to evaluate themselves and admit where they fall short desiring to be changed by Christ to walk in righteousness and holiness.
Remember to judge righteously and not according to feelings but according to the leading of the Holy Spirit and knowledge of HIs Word.

A True Christian is not Converted They are Transformed

True Christians are not "converted" they are transformed into a completely new creation opposite of what they were before and it is Christ Who does it.
Ephesians 2:10
"10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."
2 Corinthians 5:17
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new."
No one becomes a Christian by deciding to do it. Only those who have confessed they have a sinful nature and cannot change themselves and who have trusted Christ Who paid their debt of sin for them, AND, desire to be changed by Him into a completely new person opposite of what they were before, will be saved.
Those who join Christian gatherings because it will enhance their own lives or because of pressure from family members are not born again. Motive is everything, desire to be cleansed of our sinful nature is everything.
Psalm 51:10
"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me."
Psalm 100:3
"Know that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture."
If someone says they are a Christian their life should be transformed completely, if it is not, if they remain exactly as they had been before they claimed to be a Christian then they were never born again.
When Christ changes us we no longer think the same way and because we don't think the same way we act differently. We hate the sin we used to love and love the righteousness of Christ we used to despise.
Those who fight against the truth of God's Word are not born again. Those who are hostile toward and embarrassed about Christians are not born again.
John 13:35
"35 By this all people will know that you are My disciples: if you have love for one another.”
1 John 2:15-17
"15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever."
1 Corinthians 2:14-15 "14 The natural man does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God. For they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned. 15 The spiritual man judges all things, but he himself is not subject to anyone’s judgment.…"
Another indicator that someone is saved or not is whether or not they have the fruit of the Spirit and the Love of Christ is demonstrated in their lives.
Galatians 5:22-23
"22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law."
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. 6 Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."
The fruit of the Spirit is the qualities of Christ Who lives in the born again believer. Love is seen in the responses to people and situations as described in 1 Corinthians. Every born-again believer is the fruit of Christ.
When we encounter someone who lacks this fruit and this love then we have met someone who is a pretender, an unsaved person who has not repented and trusted in Christ.
Matthew 7:16-18 "16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit."
May anyone reading this self-reflect and pray to know for sure if they have the fruit and love of Christ.

The New Covenant

The Bible says that under the New Covenant, GOD will put His law in the minds and hearts of every Christian, Additionally, whether or not they know the Law of Moses or receive the Holy Spirit, all people receive the gift of conscience from God to distinguish between right and wrong. According to Romans 2:14-15, " When Gentiles, who do not have the law, do by nature things required by the law, they are the law for themselves, even though they do not have the law. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them" Since the Spirit of God indwells every true Christian, we possess new desires and new capabilities to do His will. " This is the covenant I will make with them after that time, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their hearts, and I will write them in their minds." Hebrews 10:16. He prompts you to desire and to do His will. "....for it is GOD who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose" Philippians 2:13. He provides you with the power to do what He calls you to do. " The one who calls you faithful, and he will do it" 1 Thessalonians 5:24. #LOVE #TRUST
