What Part Of This Do We Not Yet Get???

The more brokenness I see in this world, the more passionately I pursue God. We give the spirits of darkness WAY too much power! And it's so futile... They have NO authority over our lives... UNLESS we give it to them...

And that doesn't mean we have to bully the bully... all we have to 
Picture
do is seek and stand. There are SO many ways in which the truth sets us free... but it ALL starts inside of us... what we choose to choose... 

I'm fairly convinced that if we who call ourselves Christians or Jesus followers took care of our own stuff, instead of attacking those with differing beliefs, morals, religions, colours or lifestyles, this world would be a far better place. We are supposed to be an example of Christ in us... we aren't the judge or the jury... It's not our place to condemn, it's our place to pray.

No one is going to seek Jesus if His followers, those who 'say' they believe, spend their time judging, condemning and being self-righteous. 

IF My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

God is speaking to HIS people - those who 'say' they are Christians - NOT to those who deny Him... WE are to lead by example; WE are to be Jesus to someone; WE are to be salt and light to the darkness; WE are supposed to love and pray.

Jesus said: You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect. (Matthew 5:43-48)

What part of this do we not yet get? Is religion standing in the way of relationship? Is religion standing in the way of love? If it is, then we are not Christians, because Jesus came to set us free from the bondage of religion and asked us to have a relationship with Him.
