If We Are the Church It Requires Us to Renew Our Mind

If we are the church in this world, it will often require us to renew our minds daily in the Lord. Satan will come after the children of God and we must always be prepared. The word of God has everything we need to defeat the enemy.

God knows what we are up against in the world. So, as we represent Him, God promised us that He would never leave us nor forsake us. And He is a God of His word.

Living in The Peace of God

To be the church requires us to walk in the peace of God which also requires us to walk in love. To have peace with others requires you to first have peace with God. He will teach us how so that we can know how to be in peace in love out in a hurting and lost world.

Problems will come during our journey in the Lord. But we have the full power of God dwelling in the inside of us. It is time for us to spiritually grow up and use our faith to trust and believe in God in whatever we may face in this world. God will never give us more than we can bare because whatever we may have to bare in this world He will bare it with us.

We will never run out of the power that God has given us because the spirit of God that is within us is being renewed every day. And it will continue to be renewed if we spend time in the word daily. Be determined to have more of God in your life and less of yourself.

So, as we strive to be God’s temple, God’s “church,” we should also humble ourselves and submit ourselves to God. Continually resist the devil and he will flee. Whenever we choose to humble ourselves before the Lord God, we put ourselves in a position to receive more from God than what we even asked for. Because God knows what we need before we even ask. Always put your trust in God and use the word to come against Satan whenever He tries to get in your way of doing the will of God. God has everything you need to defeat the enemy. Just stay in the word of God and continue to represent Him.

This other me have many things the old me never had. Like Jesus, joy, peace, love, hope, faith, grace, and many more. I never knew about any of this until Jesus found me and invited me to a better place. And now that I’m here I never want to go back to that old side of me. This other side of me can stand no matter what the world does to keep me down. This special love I feel I know can only come from God. Sometimes it seems too good to be true, but I know it is because He lives in me.

The old me felt like she had no one. But this other me know that I have Jesus on my side when the world seems to come against me. The old me wanted to do things her way and never seemed to ever get it right or thought she had it right since it was her way. But this other me have God to guide me, so I know I’m going down the right path. The old me couldn’t see anything because she lived in darkness and couldn’t see the answers to her problems. But this other me has a shining star in the darkest night. Jesus takes my hand and keeps me steady. In the face of a storm I’m always ready. This other me is strong and bold and has a love for Jesus that will never die.

With Jesus in my life I’m higher than high. And He will someday take me above where I can live in heavenly love. I can accept this other me even if no one else can. I’m more than what I thought I was. Jesus understands me better than I do or anyone else understands me. Someone who loves me.

Many times, Satan has tried to get me but through it all I’m still standing. God has given me the power to overcome anything. And whatever Satan takes from me God said He’d bless me with it a hundred times more.

So many things seemed impossible to me and God always had a way. He’s always willing to take care of me and take care of my problems. And it doesn’t cost me anything. He paid the price for my sins when He died on the cross. With Jesus there’s always a way. And if anything is too difficult for me all I must do is give it to Jesus and I know it’s already taken care of. It would be great to share Jesus because then more people will be saved and can go to heaven and live with Jesus. They will no longer have to live their life trying to get people in the world to accept them. It’s nothing like this place. It is so much better. And when you are in Christ no one can do you any harm, not even Satan.

Since I’ve lived in this other me, I never feel I must please anyone, just tell him or her about Christ. And live according to His word. I never feel I am less that who God has made me to be. And with Jesus in my everyday life, I feel so free. God never said it would be easy, but if you have the mind of Christ it will be was easy as it was for you when you were living in your old self. And whatever your heart wants, just trust in Jesus and He will bless you with that and many more.

I enjoy talking to God because I know He is always there listening and understanding me. He never criticizes me or lets me down. I love no one more than I love Jesus, because no one can treat me better than Jesus can. I can cry on His shoulder, I can tell Him my secrets, I can laugh with Him, I can get Him to understand me and no matter what I do God never thinks less of me. As long as I have Jesus in my life I know I have everything. And as long as I’m on this earth Jesus is the only one I will ever count on.

When I gave my life to Christ it was the best thing I have ever done in my life. And it is something I will never ever regret doing. And I will let Him know how much I love Him because He loved me so much that He died on the cross for me.

I went from Satan to Jesus, bondage to freedom, darkness to light, confusion to understanding, friends to enemies, terrible life to a wonderful life, not knowing Jesus to knowing Jesus. I could go on and on because when you become a part of Jesus you will receive endless blessings.

I learned that when you give your life to Christ people will treat you different. They will treat you like dirt. But guess what? Jesus was treated the same way. But who, in the end, went to a better place? Jesus will give you what you need to get through this sinful world and go to heaven where His Heavenly Father is.

Life with Jesus is so great you will want to invite those who do not know Him. You will start to realize you have the power God has given you to face ANYTHING. You can even save those that are lost. God gives everyone a choice. Him or Satan. Heaven or Hell. And if you don’t know then either go to someone who knows, go to church, or read the word. But God will always make a way and He always has a way. He will know if you truly want to give your life to Christ.

And don’t think you can fool Christ because we are the ones who are learning and just beginning. And you can’t keep anything from Him. Giving my life to Christ is the best decision I have ever made. He didn’t say it would be easy, but it will be easier than doing it all by yourself. Anything you can’t handle you can just give it to Jesus and He will take care of it for you. He will even show you how to handle the situation yourself.

This just gives you the opportunity to grow in Him and to know how to handle situations differently now that you are in Christ. Just believe and accept Him into your life. There’s nothing hard about it unless you make it hard. He can also be your mother, father, sister, and brother. Uncle, friend, anything you don’t have on earth. And Satan can’t even touch you because God protects you.

So life with Jesus is life everlasting. And no matter what you go through you will always have a reason to be joyful and thankful. And you will never get tired of thanking Jesus, because blessings will continue to come and it will constantly let you know just how much God loves you. And let Jesus know you love Him because He loved you so much that He died for you.
