Greetings to all of you Champions!
I am so proud of all that each of you are doing on a daily basis to BE the Light of Christ to the world around you. This is Kingdom living! The biggest mistake that most Christians make is thinking that Christianity is about going to church and fulfilling obligations placed on them by the doctrine of whatever faith they may be associated with. It is this kind of thinking that causes so many people to remain separated from God! True religion James says is taking care of widows and orphans. It is "doing" that is generated by "being" who God created us to be. It is not a bunch of rules and regulations to follow! It is simply loving God and loving your neighbor. Pretty simple, but religion has caused us to stray from the simplicity of the Gospel.
I met a man on Sunday who has been a drug addict for years. He told me that he has been on Methadone for over 15 years and doesn't think he will ever be free from this substitute drug. Methadone is a drug given to drug addicts to wean them off of whatever drug they are addicted to. Does that make any sense? I know that mankind has good intentions, but this man was still an addict who was in bondage to another substitute drug! That is what religion does. Mankind is addicted to sin and in bondage. Religion, with all good intention says, here come to Christ (many do not even say that) and then adhere to these rules (doctrines, etc). They go from one addiction and bondage to another addiction and bondage. Jesus Christ came to set you free! Free from sin and free from the law. Please do not misunderstand what I am saying. You are not free to sin as Paul wrote to the Galatians, but the law will never set you free. You will remain a slave and never step into the freedom and authority that is yours in Christ as a son of God!!! Read Galatians 4.
I pray today that you are not in bondage to religious Methadone, a substitute that will never allow you to walk in freedom and authority of Jesus Christ. It will never bring people to the peace of God and understanding of their right standing in Christ. It will never allow them to understand the mysteries of the Kingdom of God and to live life in a manner that changes the world around them. Today I was reading in Colossians 2:1-3.
For I want you to know what a
This is what I feel for you today. I long for you to attain to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, both of the Father and of Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Be set free to walk in your full authority as a man or woman of God. This is how you and I will become the solutions to the problems around us. May each of you find those hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge today to BE the solution to the problems we all face.
What a privilege it is to live for God and share His Light with people every day. May you walk in total freedom in Jesus Christ to solve the problems of sin addiction in the world today. Another substitute drug will never solve the problems of the world. Only the freedom that Jesus Christ brings and the freedom of walking in His Kingdom having authority over every principality and power in this world! Go and change the world!
