Changing Your World

We all want to do the right thing. This is a normal part of being human; however, sometimes what others expect of us, and even what we expect of ourselves, can cause undue pressure and stress in our lives. If we’re not careful, we can get caught up in ceaseless religious striving and efforts to measure up to others’ expectations (which traps us in pride).

Change can be interpreted on more than one level; it can be seen as undergoing a transition, experiencing a transformation, or becoming something different. We can experience God’s best through the process of change, similar to how a caterpillar changes into a butterfly. Change isn’t always easy but, looking back over the process after we go through it, we realize how much better our lives are and how much stronger we are than before the process began.

Change is necessary for growth, and if we’ve been born again, our own lives should demonstrate transformation. Others should be able to look at us and notice some type of difference or alternate route taken as a result of our Christian walk. Yielding to the Holy Spirit’s prompting and beginning to think in line with Him begins changing our lives radically. Letting God direct and guide us as we change is similar to the metamorphosis a caterpillar undergoes in becoming a butterfly.

Getting born again changes us radically on the inside. Specifically, it gives us new, sinless, flawless natures that begin influencing how we behave. No longer are we comfortable with ungodliness, because our old, sinful nature that made us sinners is gone. We’re now the righteousness of God, and we want to live godly because it’s our nature to do so.

When we get born again, we receive a new nature and become as perfect and flawless in God’s eyes as Jesus, Himself. God sees everyone who has accepted Christ as completely righteous. However, we’ll still continue falling short and committing sinful acts while on our Christian journey. The difference between the old and the new is that God no longer holds our sins against us because our old, sinful selves have died.

Christians are under severe attack from the enemy. In this spiritual battle we’re fighting, our minds are the battlefield and the arena of faith. The devil relies heavily on suggestion to contradict what God has said to us; the person who doesn’t know their God is open to deception. In God’s eyes, our righteousness isn’t because we do right, but because of our belief in Jesus; we mustn’t let the devil’s lies shake us from this.

The coming year will be a pivotal point for Christians. The changes it will bring will include a split within the church in which people fall away from the faith and their love will grow cold. There will be plenty of slander, conflict, and offense, and people will compromise their values; however, we’ll recover from that. On a global level, governments will team up and become allies in preparation for the anti-Christ, whose mission it will be to destroy God’s church.
