Political Ability Isn’t Your Answer

Daily writing prompt
What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

The most important ability isn’t political ability. It’s the ability and willingness to surrender to and obey “Christ in you, the hope of glory,” not just in words but in day-to-day reality. The living Jesus is the answer to what your heart is longing for.

Biblical Christianity is about the fruit of the Spirit and the Sermon on the Mount. It’s not about national or political pride.

The kingdom (invisible inner government) of God and the kingdoms (nations) of this world are in conflict with each other. It’s best not to confuse the two different kinds of government.

Routine religion can produce spiritual blindness that makes people think that they see clearly when all they see is custom and tradition and their own desires. The ability to see things as they really are is essential if we want to avoid deception. That ability is called discernment, and it is a gift from God. Open your heart to the risen Jesus and let Him show you the things that you aren’t seeing.

If you want people to know that you are prolife treat them like their life is important to you. Ask God to give you the ability to be kind and loving to your enemies so that you can be a true disciple of Jesus and obedient to His enemy-loving command. Radiate Jesus in all you say and do!

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
