Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in 2 Timothy chapter 1:
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
A sound mind is one of sound judgment and personal discipline which are abilities that result in a calm, well-balanced mind and self-control. We are not moved by the ego’s desire for self gratification and instant results. We are allowing patience to have its perfect work in our lives. Our calmness arises out of our trust in FATHER’S perfect plan working in us and through us. Each day we are becoming more sensitive to the leading of The Holy Spirit in our lives.
We have a spirit of power residing on the inside of us and we must not allow fear to dissuade us from this inherent power given to us by Our Heavenly Father. Christ is in us and His anointing is available to us as we become aware of its proper use and intent. This power is meant to restore us into full and complete communion with HIM WHO formed us in the womb.
FATHER has given us a spirit of Agape Love. As we submit to The Holy Spirit, Agape Love will begin to take over in our thought life, our relationships, and our actions. We will begin to see people as FATHER sees them and treat them accordingly.
When Jesus healed the multitudes, how many of those were perfect? I submit that they had the same character flaws as the multitudes today. Jesus was and is in the restoration business and we are called to have the same mindset as Our Elder Brother.
8 Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share with me in the sufferings for the gospel according to the power of God,
9 who has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began,
10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
We are not to be ashamed of who we are in Christ. The world tries to shame us by using derogatory labels usually ending in “phobic” as though they are normal and we are perverted in some manner. It is time for each of us to proclaim the Truth and facts which cannot be altered. We are called according to HIS own purpose and grace thus we are to be a true light in a world of darkness.
The abortion issue has been grossly misrepresented by those who are completely selfish and lawless. They want to succumb to their fleshly desires without accountability and responsibility for their actions. When does life begin? I say that it begins with FATHER’S Divine Intent to form us in the womb and manifest HIS purpose in the earth.
FATHER spoke in Isaiah chapter 44:
24 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,
And He who formed you from the womb:
“I am the LORD, who makes all things,
Who stretches out the heavens all alone,
Who spreads abroad the earth by Myself;
25 Who frustrates the signs of the babblers,
And drives diviners mad;
Who turns wise men backward,
And makes their knowledge foolishness;
FATHER formed us in the womb and scientists observe resulting life when the lively sperm finds an egg with life already contained within it. Does the sperm have intent? Of course it does. Does an egg have intent already resident within it? Absolutely! Life begets life. The inorganic does not create organic. Men and women want to redefine when life begins so they try to convince themselves that they are not guilty of destroying life. FATHER, forgive them for they know not what they are doing!
Agape Love forgives the lawless but also demands restitution in some manner. FATHER will bring forth correction in HIS Love and we are to walk according to HIS SPIRIT as this correction comes forth. We must walk with a sound mind and not be moved by the circumstances of judgment which are coming upon the lawless. Our calmness and Agape Love will draw those who suffer the consequences of their lawless acts and we will lead them to repentance and restoration. FATHER’S power and Love will flow through us as we fulfill the purpose given to each of us when HE formed us in the womb.
