Becoming NEW in 2013:

We all need to transform. All of us are born into sin and incapsulated into a worldly structure that naturally pulls away from God from very early on w/in our lives. Everything that we grow into (socially, educationally, morally, mentally, ethnically, emotionally, etc.) natrually repells God.



This nature is of antiChrist (evil) that rules this world. The nature of evil doesn't rule the world because it's force is above God's force but because it's what WE as humans desire by nature... we are part of it.



It's what we desire because it's what we're born into, it's what we know. We have to come to a heartfelt decision to TURN TO God in direct rebellion, in direct decision, and in direct determination to go against OUR NATURAL GRAIN.



When we come to the crossroads where what's natural to the world collides with the person of Jesus Christ, as many times as we get to that place in time; this is where we as humans have been given an opportunity to see the difference between the two worlds, and decide which way to turn.



This is the decision in the crossroads for every man and woman who's been born into this world. The distinction between these two worlds is clearly seen and understood by the conscieousness placed inside of us to know and identify right from wrong.



The results of our collective decisions can be clearly be seen by that state of the world and likewise the results of our individual decisions can be clearly seen by the state of our personal lives.



And so the consequences our these decisions can be felt today and are also promised for tomorrow.




"However, if you do not obey the LORD your God and do not carefully follow all his commands and decrees I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you"

 
- Deuteronomy 28:15

 
"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

- Ephesians 6:12


Consider yourself on that crossroads again this very day and hear what the Spirit of God is saying to your heart.
" I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh."

-Exekiel 36:26
