The Problem: Many are in despair - in mind, body, and spirit today. We are living in a time where lawlessness is on the rise. When we hear or see the news, it can bring us to mental despair.
The Solution: But we are a part of another kingdom and there is hope. We live according to the standards of the King of Kings, as set in the Word of God. Jesus says in Matthew 4 "Man can't live by bread alone, but by every word." We can't be above the law, we have to live according to the Word and the only way to do so is to read the Word. The Word will show you how to live in and love the world.
The Question: What does the Word of God say when the world is in despair?
1. God wants your mind healed. - For a purpose. Do you know why God has healed you?
- So that you will open your mouth to tell others about His goodness.
- So that you would serve Him by loving others.
When you turn everything over to God, He will make it better for you. God's got it! God is able! God knows exactly what you need. Sometimes you have to let something go to get what He has for you. He wants ALL of you to be healed - mind, body, and spirit!
Romans 12:1-2 "I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect." (ESV)
