Our Daily Walk- Part 2

The Beloved Disciple wrote by THE SPIRIT in John chapter 1:

9 There it was—the true Light [the genuine, perfect, steadfast Light] which, coming into the world, enlightens everyone.

10 He (Christ) was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.

11 He came to that which was His own [that which belonged to Him—His world, His creation, His possession], and those who were His own [people—the Jewish nation] did not receive and welcome Him.

12 But to as many as did receive and welcome Him (Our Lord Jesus Christ), He gave the right [the authority, the privilege] to become children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name—

13 who were born, not of blood [natural conception], nor of the will of the flesh [physical impulse], nor of the will of man [that of a natural father], but of God [that is, a divine and supernatural birth—they are born of God—spiritually transformed, renewed, sanctified].  AMPL

FATHER specifically intended for you and I to become HIS Sons and Daughters to further the Kingdom and were placed on earth at this time for a very specific purpose.  Only FATHER can truly appreciate how each calling fits together to further HIS Divine purpose and none of us can truly fathom the intricacies of our impact on the world.  This is why it is so important to walk in faith and be led by THE SPIRIT rather than to overanalyze every step we take.  Our logic and reason cannot begin to comprehend HIS wondrous plan and all its moving parts.

Our trust in HIS Word to us must be protected from man’s attempts to distract us from the Truths revealed by HIS SPIRIT.  When we become challenged or weary, simply recount the blessings of the past and be refreshed in FATHER’S unfailing reliability to deliver us from harm’s way.

Paul wrote in Titus by THE SPIRIT in chapter 3:

3 Remind people to be subject to rulers and authorities, to be obedient, to be ready and willing to do good,

2 to slander or abuse no one, to be kind and conciliatory and gentle, showing unqualified consideration and courtesy toward everyone.

3 For we too once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various sinful desires and pleasures, spending and wasting our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

4 But when the goodness and kindness of God our Savior and His love for mankind appeared [in human form as the Man, Jesus Christ],

5 He saved us, not because of any works of righteousness that we have done, but because of His own compassion and mercy, by the cleansing of the new birth (spiritual transformation, regeneration) and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

6 whom He poured out richly upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior,

7 so that we would be justified [made free of the guilt of sin] by His [compassionate, undeserved] grace, and that we would be [acknowledged as acceptable to Him and] made heirs of eternal life [actually experiencing it] according to our hope (His guarantee).

There is much division being promoted in the political arenas around the world.  The vessels of dishonor are attempting to negatively impact the vessels of honor.  It is clear that many people are becoming blood thirsty and are actively seeking extreme judgment against their adversaries.  Let us refrain from being affected by these divisions, for we too once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various sinful desires and pleasures, spending and wasting our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another!  Be careful and not allow yourself to waste time, focused on the hate being spread by those vessels.

Let our walk be acceptable to FATHER and be ready to do good by listening intently to The Holy Spirit, knowing that FATHER will bring forth judgment by those whom HE chose as HIS instruments.  We are to be kind and conciliatory and gentle, showing unqualified consideration and courtesy toward everyone.  Let us not abuse our right and privilege as Sons and Daughters.
