Defiance against Christ Jesus!

“Destruction and misery are in their ways:
And the way of peace have they not known:
There is no fear of God before their eyes.” Romans 3:16-18

The Holy Spirit has been speaking to me for several days about defiance against Christ Jesus. Defiance manifests itself in many different ways.

Defiance is not respecting the nature of God or accepting His characteristics of greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty.

Defiance is failing to recognize the authority of God and choosing to live for self. It is satisfying the desires of the flesh with no concern about accountability to God

Defiance is not understanding how insignificant you are compared to the grandeur of God.

Defiance is not believing or accepting you are a sinner and unacceptable to God.

Defiance is replacing God with religion. It is choosing to function under laws and works to please God. It is rejecting the Living Christ who wants to enfold you with His life through faith in His Word.

Defiance is rejecting the goodness of God for the temporal things of the world.

Defiance is refusing to walk in the pathway of God because it causes you to lose your independence.

Defiance is refusing to listen to the voice of God or to be obedient to His calling in your life.

Do you realize your destiny is in the hands of Jesus? Life on this earth is like a vapor trail. It comes and goes quickly. The life of a believer is eternal and Jesus, the Creator of the heavens and earth, desires to live in you through His Spirit.

The mystery of life is Christ in you. The Cross gives you the ability to live personally with Christ Jesus forever and enter into His majestic kingdom.

Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. There is no other hope for life!
