Request
the "Good Life from Behind Prison Bars" Now
|
Caught in a dead end job; trapped in an
abusive relationship; prisoner to a physical or mental handicap; or, it
may be as simple as the current circumstances seem to be stacked against
you.
|
|
At one time or another, we all find ourselves behind prison
bars--things over which we have no control.
|
|
What was the secret of Paul that enabled him to say, ". . . I have
learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content"
(Phil. 4:11)?
|
|
Is the good life determined by the flesh and blood
reality of the physical world--including trying circumstances?
|
|
Or,
does the good life originate in the spiritual realm of the heavenly
domain--regardless of the physical circumstances in which one might find
himself?
|
|
What makes the quality of life good?
|
|
Paul
knew that the warfare for the good life was not in the circumstances in
which he found himself, but it was in his mind.
|
|
Because he was made
strong in the Lord and he had been invested with the armor of God, he was
not going to fall prey to the cunning devices of his own mind.
|
|
Empowered by the grace of God, he was not going to let any circumstance
have mastery over him, which he knew would occur if he first gave
anything the privilege to control his life.
|
|
There is no mystery in
spiritual warfare--the carnal mind is enmity against God.
|
|
The
mystery is in the gospel--how God can produce the good life regardless of
the circumstances.
|
|
The question needs to be raised, "In the current circumstances of
which I find myself, am I an ambassador of the earthly domain (gloom,
despair and agony from the circumstances) or am I an ambassador of the heavenly domain
(peace, joy, and a sense of justice from the Spirit controlled mind)?
|
|
We can be strong in
the Lord and in the power of his might.
|
|
We have been invested with His
armor.
|
|
May we withstand the cunning devices of our own mind to stand
tall in every circumstance of life.
|
|
Nothing can harm us unless we
first form the opinion in our mind that we have been harmed.
