With everything taking place in our world today, Christians must be very careful, because, we know from the Word of God we are called to walk by the Spirit. The Spirit produces fruit in our lives which appears as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.
However, I’ve noticed many Christians seem to be taking on more of a worldly nature. Yes, we’re definitely living in unprecedented times, but, that’s no reason to jump in and live like everyone else. And we can tell if we’re not living according to the Word of God when the scripture reads;
But understand this: In the last days terrible times will come. For men
will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, abusive,
disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, slanderous, without
self-control, brutal, without love of good, traitorous, reckless, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.
2 Timothy 3:1-4
While it seems as if this world is completely falling apart, it’s also a time to be very cautious. Cause we’re not called to live as the world, but, to pick up our cross and follow Jesus. And since Christians believe in the Lord Jesus as the Son of God, who was born of flesh, sacrificed for our sins, and raised on the third day, we’re no longer a servant to this world, but, a child to the Holy of Holies, God Almighty.
To live and walk in heavenly places causes us to be free from the turmoil of this chaotic world. It is through the warfare of the Spirit of Christ within that we find grace to touch the “Peace of God that passeth understanding”. The storm is coming to our land and we have time and grace to learn of Him now to walk “in our high places” in Him.
Such a good word. They who walk and live in the natural have no resources to be free from the hatred and animosity of this world. The prayer of my heart is to no longer love my life unto death that I may honor Him who laid down His life for me. Easy words to say but His grace is sufficient for us to know the victory of Him over all the weakness of ourselves.

I agree, this hatred is being pushed all over social media, news outlet and governments. These are not what Christ taught, and it seems many Christians have forgotten this. Stay safe, continue to pray for the hearts of man to soften and turn to Christ Jesus. Thank you so much for the comment. Robin
