....war as the world does....
In the second session of the Youth conference I went to, the speaker talked about how we need to change our perspective, and how no matter what, we still have value!
We have value in GOD's eyes no matter what we have done! It's like money, no matter where it has been, no matter if it is crumpled, or even if it is stomped on, the value will still be the same as it was before all that happened to it! And it is the same way with people. We have the same value in GOD's eyes as we always had, today, yesterday, and forever!!
GOD loves us no matter what, and yet the church is constantly judging people. We are failing (in my opinion) to be a place of compassion. We are supposed to show GOD's love to this lost world that we live in!
It is our job to shine His love into the darkness of the world!!!! In Matthew 5:14 it says, "You are the light of the world." We are changed through His saving Love and Grace and Compassion and Mercy! It is because of this change that we can shine GOD's Saving Love every where we go.
What are we doing in this time of need in this Battle of Life and Death on an eternal level?
This is the kind of battle that when we are not fighting we are helping the opposition. The opposition is satan and to be honest with you, I don't want to be helping him out!
GOD's word tells us that the battle we are waging "is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12)
In 2 Corinthians 10:3-4 it says that "For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have Divine power to demolish strongholds."
God has given us the ability to be the best soldiers for this war that anybody could ask for. He made it as easy as pie to be those soldiers all that we must do is to let Him use us as He deems.... And have the faith of a stubborn mule!
We all have value in GOD's eyes and He has given all of us a purpose in His mighty plan. But we can not fight the battle in our own strength and on our own terms. No, we must let Him use us to our full potential. The potential He gifted us with when we first believed in Him.
Thanks and GOD Bless!!
