The toxic lie so many of us believe is because everyone else does it, it’s okay for us and won’t harm us. The truth is just because everyone else does it, doesn’t mean that it’s right for us spiritually.
How have you seen toxic influences in your life affect your relationship with God and others?
I hope you will read all the verses. At the link given above you will find both the Complete Jewish Bible (which I have come to treasure) and an older favorite of mine, the New American Standard Bible translation.
2 . . . Instead, keep letting yourselves be transformed by the renewing of your minds; so that you will know what God wants and will agree that what he wants is good, satisfying and able to succeed.
Keep lettingyourselves be transformed by the renewing of your minds.
My Friends, the command is KEEP LETTING. The transformation we desire is GOD’s WORK. Our transformation comes by HIS POWER when we keep on keeping on one choice after another to THINK ABBA’s Way. It’s an uphill climb; an uphill climb that we CAN in YESHUA’s Name do.
There are four types of fears: fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of rejection, and fear of the unknown. It is very likely that you are struggling with one or more of these fears. These fears can paralyze you and keep you from God’s best. Remember what 2 Timothy 1 says in that God did not give us a spirit of fear, but a spirit of power, of love, and of self-discipline.
Which fears do you currently struggle with the most?
We are glad you are here; stay a while, look around, and be encouraged. We estimate there to be over 3,000 posts here at The White Stone Blog. Please know my hope is ALWAYS to help and NEVER harm. I have voiced many opinions and thoughts here since 2007 and by now I MAY NOT EVEN AGREE with all of them and some of my grammar and punctuation likely needs editing. But this is changeless: JESUS is our ONLY Savior and Hope. Do you KNOW Him?
