We are all connected

We are all connected in this life. Our choices foster shifts in our nature, our obedience creates a catalyst for generational changes, cultural changes, and personal changes. See there are people appointed by God for a time, a season, or a life time to further the important legitimate interest of providing all with the opportunity to participate in the full range in the goodness of our Father. Yet, this comes about with or without our permission, and to feel the fullness of this grace one must understand this. 1 Peter 3:13-16 - Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander (NIV). As you see in these verses doing right is not the whole picture, without a cost or responsibility. We must learn how to speak from our truth, if we desire peace granted by a clear conscience; we all want that. Where our faith will not fall, not bend, or compromised resulting from fears of our own or others. When we stand firm, commit to the call of being chosen of the LORD, we speak life with our obedience, and change the future for many we shall never meet in our lifetime. David knew what it meant to be called and chosen of God; God called him a man after HIS own heart. Guess what, he was not perfect. He was obedient and had an expertise understanding of the favor bestowed.
Check this out 2 Sam 7: 18-20 Then King David went in and sat before the LORD, and he said: "Who am I, O Sovereign LORD, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 1And as if this were not enough in your sight, O Sovereign LORD, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant. Is this your usual way of dealing with man, O Sovereign LORD? "What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Sovereign LORD. (NIV) David got it; he was to be the catalyst to change generations to come. Why can’t we get this? It has to do with trust, waiting, submitting, no matter what, and enduring our consequence. Praising the Lord, how we are lead, not changing because the company kept or discouraging words or looks received. Know like Paul and Silas knew when you are a change-agent that shifts cultural entrenchment, atmospheric mindset, or systemic procedures, it does not matter where you are, it does matter whose you are and the belief that you can… Acts 16:25-28 -About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenly there was such a violent earthquake that the foundations of the prison were shaken. At once all the prison doors flew open, and everybody's chains came loose. The jailer woke up, and when he saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself because he thought the prisoners had escaped. But Paul shouted, "Don't harm yourself! We are all here!" (NIV). We are all here! When you know, your actions changes lives, connection, then cosmic shifts both figuratively and literally for all connect to you. You sit comfortable, at peace, knowing you have aligned with God purpose for you, change agent, and God will get the glory….We are all connected, and we speak life, we receive life, and life begins to birth new life. This has nothing to do with biology or genetics, it is a god-thing create on the cross of redemption.
