Do Not Conform
My Bride has been swept away by the lures of the world. The pressures of this world and concerns of how they think can persuade them pretty quick. But do not conform to the pattern of this world but be conformed into the image of God. Have a higher respect for me and my ways that have been made clear by my Word than for what other people say. Their opinions should not persuade you to think any differently than the ways of YAHWEH.
The patterns of this world are not meant to rule your life but you are to be a shining light to it instead. Do not be swayed by the latest thinking but be swayed by my Spirit’s leading instead. Every act of obedience to me takes you on the path of holiness. It is hard to live a lifetime of holiness when your eyes are upon the world.
Step away from the conforming ways of the world and learn how to walk in my ways instead. Too many have fallen away and not lived an exemplary life before me. Their hearts have been led astray by the persuasions of influential men. What do you care for more, impressing the crowd around you or living for me? Is your life only yours or does it belong to me? Ask yourself what is truly important, to be recognized by men or to be recognized before my Father? You say you belong to me but your actions reflect those of the father of lies.
Set aside your life and give it all to me. Remain loyal to what you know is true and forsake all others. Popularity only lasts for a moment and then the lights go dim. It’s not about impressing the minds of men that gets you far, but a life of dependency upon me. Pressurized situations that you find yourself in are the proving grounds that show who truly reigns in your life.
Reevaluate your thoughts and consistently bring them to me. Do your thoughts and pattern of thinking align with me or do they align with the father of lies? Can you align your decisions with what I have given to you in my Word or have you deviated from what is true and right and good? Do you serve the Living God or do you find yourself bowing to another?
Remain true and loyal to my Word and to my Spirit’s leading. Trust in me may not seem popular to others but it is required in following me. Your path requires obedience and living a holy life unto me. There will be difficult decisions to make but my Spirit will lead you on the only path you should take. Receive a new heart from me and walk on a holy path designed for you. The decisions you make require dependency upon me. Remain loyal to me and forsake all others. Be the people who are led by my Spirit and not by the persuasions of men.
