You Are A Force

Many forces are at work in this world we live in. Either forces that collide, that oppose each other. Forces that influence each other, and forces that work together. And you, brother, are a force as well. You may now be thinking “I’m no force” or asking “what kind of force am I?” and so on. Let me answer that for you. The question is, though, what kind? Are we forces that live for goodness and greatness? Is this broken world better with us in it? Are we only forces that remain neutral? Or are we the “me and I” forces, for selfishness, for negativity, for control and self-power? Whatever answer you have made here will be the force you live by.

1 Timothy 2:8-10 tells us a very real truth. This is what is written – “I will therefore that men pray everywhere, lifting up holy hands, … but [which becometh women professing godliness] with good works.” God asks us to pray always. This is His heart’s desire for us to do. Prayer is powerful and takes us into His throne room and leads us into a greater relationship with Him. It also shows Him we want Him to be a part of all our decisions. We are a force to be reckoned with when He is in our lives permanently. World forces are evil and we are forces for good, therefore opposing evil and the devil; that serpent who lies, who comes to kill, steal and destroy. Read Galatians 5:13-26. The questions we ask as per above do matter, and they matter to God as well.

If we want to change our kind [meaning others around us], to intensify the positive force we offer because Jesus lives in us, we can start in this manner: intercessory prayer. It works! God wants us to be that force that pleases Him and helps others from falling into the dungeons of sin, or free those who are already chained to sin. Two forces exist. God’s followers and forces of righteousness or forces of evil led by Satan and his lies. Which force are you right now? Which force would you rather be? I’m in the “force field” of God’s kingdom, the force Jesus put in my life. Two forces. Which are you? Enjoy the choice you make. Just make sure it is God’s force. Be blessed.
