Sowing Seeds of Faith
Before we can really make any great changes in our society, political and justice systems and culture, the foundation of truth must be restored. We must come back to the absolutes of Biblical authority, recognizing that God is the source of all truth.
As people who have been born again of God's Spirit, we have been delivered from the power of darkness. There was a time when all of us were under the influence and the jurisdiction of Satan's kingdom and domain. Now that we have been born again and translated into the kingdom of God, we should not take lightly that we still have an enemy who wants to bring harm to us and render us ineffective as ambassadors of God's kingdom.

Francis Frangipane writes, "What men call "salvation" is simply the first stage of God's plan for our lives, which is to conform us in character and power to the image of Christ. If we fail to see our relationship to God as such, we will allow too many areas within us to remain unchanged. Pulling down strongholds is the demolition & removal of old ways of thinking so that the Presence of Jesus Christ can be manifested through us." (2 Cor 10:4)
Jesus Christ is the model of what God considers typical for the new-creation man. He is not just our Savior, He is the Indwelling One who conforms us to His image, the first-born of a family of glorious sons. When our thought life is in agreement with unbelief, fear or habitual sin, the enemy has rest and seeks out those places that are in harmony with him. Are you giving him free access to these areas? Or are you allowing your thoughts to be conformed to the Word of God and what God says about you?
We have a mindset that has been shaped by our parents and educators as well as the ungodly environment in which we live. As Christians, the only truth suitable for eternity is the truth of Christ. If we fail to realize this we will be like our teacher, never doing more than the deeds of our fathers. When we come to Christ, all that we are in nature and character is destined to change.
