You belong to this world; I do not.

 And yet some of you are trying to kill me because there’s no room in your hearts for my message. 

“If God were your Father, you would love me, because I have come to you from God. I am not here on my own, but he sent me. 43Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It’s because you can’t even hear me! 44For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. 

 He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!

Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. 

 “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”

Lord God my Father,

Help me to move past my reality and accept yours as it is. Allow your Truth to own my thoughts and give me wisdom on how to share you. Allow your perfect Truth to overwhelm the ways of the world I accept and cause me to only accept you. Give me strength to overcome the sin I am comfortable with and allow me to crush it with your authority. Keep me from seeing the world from my limited perspective and rely on you completely.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
