Questions are one of the best ways to discover
where we stand. Every doctor I go to always asks questions to find out what is
going on in my life. Michael asks some questions that easily show us what is
going on Spiritually in our life.
Don’t you just love “tests”?
DAY 212
Not of
This World
And do not be conformed
to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may
prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. --Romans 12:2
Here is a simple
test. Please answer the following from the heart.
--Would you rather
meet the President of the U.S. or a new believer in Christ?
--Do you believe that
computer-chip dates determine your destiny?
--Imagine meeting a
famous celebrity and a Christian on the same day; neither had you previously
known. Arriving home, which one would you first tell your family you had met?
--You have the
opportunity to speak to a small group in the inner city, and a famous
politician calls you for a private meeting. Would you cancel the little group
meeting?
--When reciting your
family history, do you immediately tell of all the famous people to whom you
are related?
--In a social
gathering, do you drop the names of celebrities, sports figures, and
politicians you have met?
--Do you discuss the
ideas and statements of politicians as though they are important facts?
--Do you brag about
the intellect, talent, and abilities of someone close to you?
--Do you believe that
people are rich because of their great talent, ability, and effort?
--Would you lay down
your life to maintain the glory of a man?
See how easy it is to be influenced by and conformed to
the world? The world has done a good job convincing us of
its ultimate importance. Since the glue, Jesus, that holds all men together witnesses constantly to
something higher, the world must clamor for our attention by constantly
bombarding us with messages of its importance, lest we stop for a moment and
question.

Every Christian has two souls (seat of the mind,
emotions, and will/decider). The one we were given at our physical birth. The
One we were given at our Spiritual birth. Choose the one from our physical
birth, and we only think of the world and all it has to offer. Choose the One
from our Spiritual birth, and we only think of Christ and all He has to offer.
To be influenced by the world takes us to the one
from our physical birth.
Abiding, and receiving from our Vine (Jesus) only
takes us to the One from our Spiritual birth. All of Michael’s teachings take
us to Christ’s Soul in us. Well, amen.
