I could no longer do these things because of His power, not mine.
I have come to see the repetition of g7 and others is because relationship with God
is not their model. Their model is denial of consequences while not dealing with the root
cause, so stay frozen in their conversation.
Paul in Ephesians talks about leaving the world behind and walking in things of love.
It is a reality.
Over the past months I have come to see if your heart is freed, love is met, loneliness
and hurt healed and resolved, Jesus reigning with us on the throne is our life.
Everything springs from this resolution. Purity, holiness, love. If we have forgiven people
and really know them and love them, we adjust and care. And once we love God from the heart
we are slaves to the law of Christ, because this is the law of love and care.
But what I read and see, is something very different, lenses, interpretation, fear of the word
and reinterpretation that takes away guilt for failure and sin, and says this is the expected life
of the believer. Now I have had long conversations where selfishness is evil or doing things
for self is evil, and everything gets hyper legalistic.
But then I talked about purity, the list of impure things people do, and rather than people saying
no that is simple, I am not involved in this, just constant accusation I am lying that impurity is
not an issue. So truly the basics of the heart people are failing at but too scared to admit it
and go to Christ in an open broken way. And so the argument repeats in their mind, because
nothing progresses, it is just this defeat.
But we know in our hearts Christ the overcomer. But many do not know this.
Are they prepared to admit this to themselves and others though?
