The conflict between Jesus and the world!

“Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.” Colossians 3:2

This is a very difficult issue because we live in the world and depend on the world for our resources. We have been taught from an early age to seek out the world for our desires. We all have worldly thinking patterns.

As Christians, we set our minds on the things above through prayer, worship, Bible study and listening to the voice of God. Then we tend to turn off God. This causes us to get sidetracked by our desires and temptations from Satan.

It will never work to separate your life into Jesus time and worldly time. The two will never be compatible. The solution is to give Jesus authority over all of your life through the Holy Spirit.

Jesus is omniscient and knows your every need. He even knows of needs that are unaware to you. Jesus lives in you and wants to bring order to all of your life.

The Bible tells us we live in the world but are not of the world. But we all have bills to pay and many needs so we have to interact with the world.

The world is not your friend!

Commit your works to God each day and ask Him to fill you with His thoughts. 

Invite the Holy Spirit to have authority over your life. This will release the wisdom and order of Jesus into your thoughts and actions. Jesus will be guiding all your routine and important decisions during each day.

Be sure to inquire of Jesus on the big decisions and wait for His response. Avoid impulsive decisions. They usually bring misery.

Waiting on Jesus will bring a quality lifestyle and perfect timing.
