I read something once that has caused me to think:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Power is not in wealth, but in control.<\/p>\n
This world would have us think that money is everything.\u00a0 Money brings power, money buys whatever you could possibly want, money places you above others.\u00a0 Money makes the world go round.\u00a0 Money is what Satan uses for power.<\/p>\n
We are “natural (wo)men”.\u00a0 We chose to come to this earth to receive a body and, unfortunately, the sins that come attached.\u00a0 What we forget is that this earth life is all about our learning and mastering control, sacrifice, giving of ourselves, and rising above what is offered by Satan.\u00a0 The true power is in our hands\u2026when WE are in control.<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s another quote I think about:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Money is worthless before a man who refuses to be bought.<\/p>\n
One of my favorite scriptures is 1 Cor 6:20\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cFor ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God\u2019s.\u201d\u00a0 My Savior purchased me long ago.\u00a0 How could I ever sell my soul to anyone else?\u00a0 Satan cannot buy me; therefore, I stand triumphant in the power already made available to me.<\/p>\n
We are well aware of Hollywood\u2019s bad reputation and influence.\u00a0 But be honest, when you see a new, rising star, don\u2019t you still feel shock when you hear about their exploits?\u00a0 Don\u2019t you just hope someone will hold on to some kind of value?\u00a0 Don\u2019t you yearn to admire someone who didn\u2019t \u201csell out\u201d?<\/p>\n
The gospel of Jesus Christ teaches us what we must do.\u00a0 WE KNOW!\u00a0 Our attitudes must be full of the spirit.\u00a0 Our actions must be full of righteousness.\u00a0 We belong to God and He is waiting to welcome us back.\u00a0 Let us check ourselves now, daily, that we may stand tall before our purchaser, our owner, our king.<\/p>\n
I am guilty of forgetting who I am, what I am about, where I want to go, and sometimes why I chose this way, in the first place.\u00a0 My reminders are plentiful, and they keep urging me on.\u00a0 When I do remember who I am, what I am about, where I\u2019m going, and why I chose God, I feel His power upon me.\u00a0 I will not sell out to Satan.\u00a0 I will\u2026I must\u2026stand strong to my standards, principles, and values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
