Changing Your World
Weekdays from 9:30pm
The world desperately needs reconciliation. We’re surrounded by groups of people in strife with each other, fueled by hatred and division; however, because of what Jesus Christ did, we no longer have to be divided. Jesus shed His blood to bring equality for everyone and make it possible for us to be reconciled with one another. When we’re willing to admit our wrongdoings, and also forgive others and set aside our differences and past hurts, we find healing in our relationships.

Because of what Jesus Christ did on the cross, the broken relationship between God and mankind that resulted from Adam and Eve’s sin has been restored. Everything about the restoration of this friendship revolves around Christ, because reconciliation wouldn’t have been possible without Him. This means that not only can we be reconciled to God, but we can also be reconciled to each other. Reconciliation begins with acknowledging equality among all people, no matter who they are.

Our external environment operates completely opposite from God. Contrary to the world’s monetary system based on money, God uses love as His currency. When Jesus came, He replaced the Law of Moses with God’s law of love; as Christians, this is the law we must live by. The law of love fills us up with everything we need until we reach the point where we overflow and the excess spills over onto others. Paying the debt of love changes lives and releases the power to transform people into His image.
Believers need to know about fighting in the spiritual realm. When something bad happens, we make a mistake to assume that it happened because we did something wrong. The devil, our enemy, is real and will fight us every step of the way to prevent us from walking the worthy walk God asks of us. We’ll be in deep trouble if we’re unaware that we’re in a fight; it’s therefore imperative to know that we are at war and that we must not only defend ourselves, but go on the offensive by using God’s Word.
In a world where most people work hard to earn God’s blessings, all we need to do is to accept and believe in His finished works. We’ve already been blessed and accepted as members of God’s royal family; this happens automatically when we get born again. He has given us undeserved gifts because we are—and always will be—His beloved children, regardless of what we do. Faith in what Jesus did for us on the cross enables us to continually bring our earthly walk closer in tune with God’s will for us.

Believers are called to live life on a higher plane. God has declared us righteous because we’ve been born again. This position of righteousness and holiness isn’t something we could ever earn; it’s a grace gift from Him that’s permanent and independent from anything we do. God appeals to us to display good conduct to match our status as members of His royal family by birth, which we received when we accepted His Son.

Life is more than just what we see and feel with our five senses. We need food and water on the physical level, but we also need God’s grace to sustain our spiritual lives. Jesus, who is grace in human form, provides us with spiritual meat that we can’t earn through our works. He gives it to us without us doing anything to deserve it; this food leads to eternal life and ensures that we’ll never perish.
As believers, our authority comes from our identity in Jesus Christ. We’re righteous, forgiven, healed, and one with God. It’s imperative that we know who we are; if not, we must renew our minds to our true identity. Operating in our identity as God’s children gives us the same power and ability as Christ holds. Allowing God to change our thinking results in life-changing transformation in us.

We’ve been given tremendous power. The authority that God gave Jesus and Jesus shared with His disciples is the same ability that He, in turn, gave to us. This empowers us to do the same things that He did during His ministry, including healing the sick, casting out unclean spirits, and even raising the dead and walking on water. However, nothing will happen until we “flip the switch” and activate this power by believing it.
