Romans 12:2
Amplifed….
And do not be conformed to this world (any
longer with it’s superficial values and costoms),
but be transformed and progressively changed (as you mature spiritually) by renewing your mind (focusing on godly values and ethical attitudes),
so that you may prove (for yourself) what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect for you).
*** THERE IS A COMPELLING CONSTANT PULL ON US TO FIT INTO THE WORLD’S
PROGRAM. ***
*** REMEMBER THE WORLD HAS A SPIRIT
AND GOD HAS THE “HOLY SPIRIT HE HAS GIVEN YOU. ***
*** THEY ARE INTO SUPERFICIAL VALUES AND CUSTOMS. ***
*** THE BEST WAY I CAN EXPLAIN CLEARLY THE DRIVING FOCUS OF AMERICAN LIFE IS….”GET YOUR MONEY, CONSUME TOYS AND LOOK LIKE A WINNER!” ***
*** THERE IS A LOOK OF SUCCESS WITH THE LIFESTYLE THAT COMES WITH IT THAT THE WORLD PROMOTES FOR THOSE WHO CONFORM. ***
*** LET ME JUST SAY, THAT “IT” IS ALL A
LIE. THE BIGGEST OF LIES. THE “BIG LIE”.
*** IT IS ALL COMMING TO NOTHING AND DESTRUCTION WITH ALL IT’S PROPS AND CELEBRITIES TO HOLD IT UP. ***
*** ALL THE GLIMMER AND FALSE HOPE THEY GIVE IS A DISTRACTION FROM WHAT IS REAL. ***
********************************************
*** WE ARE TO BE TRANSFORMED AND PROGRESSIVELY CHANGED FROM ALL THAT INTO SOMETHING “NEW”. ***
*** HOW, YOU SAY?…….BY THE RENEWING OF YOUR MIND! ***
*** THIS NEW MIND SET FOCUSES ON VALUES AND ATTITUDES THAT GOD GIVES YOU! ***
*** WHY, YOU SAY?……SO YOU CAN FIND OUT FOR YOURSELF WHAT THE WILL OF GOD IS. ***
*** SO YOU CAN FIND THE GOOD PURPOSE, WHY GOD PUT YOU ON THIS EARTH. ***
*** SO GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU WILL BE CLEAR TO SEE. ***
