We Need to Cast Out All Evil from Our Lives, But Also Fill Our Lives with God, Obey, Heed, Follow and Reflect Jesus, and Be People of Goodwill!

 

Commanded Judah to seek the Lord... and to do the law and the commandment. 

- 2 Chronicles 14:4

Our goal in life is to make ourselves holy and beautiful like Jesus Christ! We are called to repent, turn from all sin, obey God and His Commandments, the teachings of Jesus, and be people of goodwill reflecting Jesus in our lives always! Jesus is the only way to Heaven, we must follow Him, walk with Him, reflect Him! We need to cast out all evil in our lives, fill it instead with God, and follow Jesus! 

The Mornings With God App today said, "Repentance is not complete unless we get back to God and renew our allegiance to Him. One of our Lord’s parables tells of the casting out of an evil spirit, the man’s heart then being left empty. By and by the demon, returning after many wanderings, found his old house swept and garnished, but still empty; and, gathering up a number of other demons worse than himself, he returned into his old place. That is always the story when evil is cast out and the life is not filled with God. There is a verse in one of Paul’s epistles in which the apostle calls upon Christians to present their bodies as living sacrifices to Him. He wants our body that He may purify it and give it back to us cleansed. We must not think that it is merely for the help that we can give to God that He so earnestly desires the consecration of ourselves to Him; it is that He may take us, with all our sinfulness, and make us holy and beautiful, like Christ."

This Mornings with God App quote/prayer today was very nice. A good reminder like always, we need God, we need to turn from sin, we need to obey God and His Commandments, follow and reflect Jesus, and be people of goodwill on this Earth School journey! We need to pray to God! Humble ourselves to Him!  I am going to live the way He says to live! I am going to walk with Jesus!
