Hey, I hope you're having an awesome day today. Without getting too deep and spiritual on you - I just wanna say that there are a lot of things going on in this world behind the scenes pulling the strings for a lot of the physical outcomes around us. And no I'm not talking about the Illuminati, the NWO or another group of rich aristocratic fat cats.
In the Bible it says "we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalitalies and powers, against spiritual wickedness in high places". In a nutshell there is a spiritual world with powerful forces that effects the physical world we live in. But there are also powerful forces in this physical world that can effect the spiritual world... Us. If you believe in Jesus then when He said "Greater is He that's in you than He that's in the world" applies.
What Jesus was saying was this... "You have God in you - so push back". We as the Children of God have the ability because of Jesus to make a change in this world. To be the light to the darkness. To wrestle with forces that would normally be far more powerful than us - but because of God in us we can dethrone and take back territory. We can change things. How awesome is that? So how do I do that you ask? Easy. When those thoughts of hatred, revenge, lust, greed and selfishness come your way pushing you to respond the way they tell you to - make a choice to say NO.
Push back and instead of doing what "impulse" tells you to do - be positive. Be encouraging. Be caring for others. Be thankful. Be giving. Be forgiving. Be love. And if in the moment that's just too hard to do... then bite your tongue and wait. Impulses pass but the truth and the heart of God lasts forever. It's far better to go back and say a nice word later than to have to apologize later for nasty selfish words and actions.
So today push back and be the change this world needs. You'd honestly be surprised how much weight God puts behind those who seek and give His heart to others. So give someone a reason to smile today and be thankful for the gift of life. God loves you.
