Salvation Is The Only Thing That Will Change The World

"Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:4

How many of us where filled with hatred, anger, drugs, lust, whatever, and then Christ came to us, He called us, and then we where home, and He was at home within us. Our old self was destroyed and behold all things became new for us. The hatred and bitterness of the past was removed and replaced with the abounding hope that was shed abroad in our hearts by the power of the Holy Spirit! Most of us can credit a praying mother, grandmother, friend, child, or spouse for praying continually for us. There is the answer, the weapon of our warfare, the Spiritual force that will bring down the stronghold, love, and we are now the home of it. The Glory of God that stopped them dead in their tracks under the Old Covenant, now empowers those of us under the New Covenant of Jesus Christ. Through the power of Christ we need to pray that all men be saved, it is the will of our Father and it is the thought and desire of the Mind of Christ that has been given us. We need to pray for Muslims, Buddhists, Atheists, Jews, Christians, Young, and Old, Male and Female, Minority and Majority to be saved and come to the full knowledge of the Truth of God!

Jesus taught that the greatest man ever born of a woman was John the Baptist. Yet Jesus went on to say that the least in the Kingdom of God was greater than John, Mathew 11:11. The reason Jesus said this was because John was under the Old Covenant. The Power and Glory of God had not yet come to dwell within man, but it has now, and God is now able to work through the least of us far greater than He was ever able to work with John! The Kingdom of Heaven is now! Now is the Day of our Salvation, now we are the Temple’s of God, and now the Spirit of God dwells within us! So as Jesus proclaimed, “And as ye go, preach, saying, The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.” Matthew 10:7-8 Through Christ God is able to work mightily through us, far greater than we can think of, dream of, or pray for, and He is able to do it by the power of His Spirit that is within us! And through the power of God that now dwells within us, the world can believe and be saved!
