2 Timothy 4:3-4

Jesus said come as you are. What He didn’t say was stay that way. His

word tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, so we

can know what His good, pleasing, and perfect will is. The New Living

Translation says let God transform you into a new person by changing

the way you think. So we have to keep in mind that when we walk in

ways that aren’t according to God’s word and His desires for our

lives, His correction won’t appeal to our feelings. God is loving. God

is good. But our flesh can steer our emotions, and our flesh is

contrary to God. If our flesh “isn’t that bad” He wouldn’t have had to

die for our sins. He loved us enough to die for us, to meet us right

where we’re at, but He didn’t die so we could just stay there. Hence

the need to change the way we think. His commands and ways are for our

benefit. Our flesh and its inherit sinful nature bring bondage. Funny

how the enemy can trick you into believing it’s the other way around.

Be mindful of that family. We were bought at the highest cost

imaginable!! Embrace what He has and crucify your flesh. He died and

gave us access to all of it, we just have to decide if we want His

way, or ours, and in these last days, our ways will cost us

everything. His ways will bring us everything. Be blessed this

beautiful day!!

“For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and

wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look

for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to

hear. They will reject the truth and chase after myths.”
