Do you believe
we can be
as glorious as
the angels
and even more
even our bodies?
We're commanded
to change
from a catterpillar to a butterfly
so we can fly.
How?
Develop good habits,
allow God's Word
to change your thinking.
You're what you think.
As your thinking changes,
you appearance also will change...
your outlook, your countenance,
your expression, your response.
The spiritual affects also the physical.
First thing is
don't fill your mind with the garbage
from the junkyard of this world.
But sadly for many,
the rubbish things of the world...
unholy attitudes and behaviours,
unrighteousness,
choices that'll lead us down a bad path
and ruin our futures...
have become so acceptable
in their thoughts and outlook.
If we don't quench
the small still voice,
our conscience will lead us
in the right direction.
But if we choose to live in corruption,
we'll start to accept it as normal...
marital fidelity, honesty,
spending habits,
eating and drinking
what the world offers
through advertisements, romance
novels, soap operas,
violent movies and video games,
sex and violence, fun and pleasure
that deceive.
The first command here is
don't conform to this world.
How?
Develop good habits.
Learn discernment.
Seek wisdom.
Have the fear of the Lord.
Be humble.
That's how to receive blessings.
The second command is
allow our minds be transformed
from the inside out
by God's Word,
so that you can discern
and experience God's will.
Your lifestyle and thinking
will be influenced
by God's will.
