Faced with an internal urging to connect to a higher authority and burdened by an external power to focus on his humanity, mankind is forever challenged to maintain a balance between these contradictory elements. The internal element is strong, unavoidable even, but the external confronts his senses to conform to what he has been exposed to and molded by from birth. How can he satisfy the conditions laid out by these two forces ? Herein lies his folly. For centuries, man has been trying to serve two opposing masters, at the same time. Jesus Christ provides the answer that would eternally solve this dilemma and free mankind from this "war" that has harassed his entire existence. "Verily,verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God"..John 3:3...Simply put, Jesus is saying to every man, submit to the internal urging entirely which will transform you and make you over into a new creation. In this new creation, the power to overcome the lure of the external, is a reality that would put a transformed you in touch with your God given purpose for existence. The pull of this external force would be of no consequence, in accordance with John 1;12 "But as many as received him to them gave he power to become a son of God. even to them that believe on his name." This is the solution to the age-old vexing problem. YOU cannot win this battle. YOU cannot overcome the forces of the carnal world because You are a product of the carnal world. What is needed is complete renewal of who you are, by the power of God, so that the effects of this world can have no sway over your life. YOU must be born again and become a son of God, with a change in nature,from carnality to divinity. Humanity's dilemma is a deception that was contrived by the carnal self of man to keep the focus on itself. man has fell prey to this deception by creating religious systems that would satisfy both the internal and the external, at the same time. It has not worked. In this way, the external would always have dominance over your life. Jesus is saying, there is no power greater than God, for Almighty God is the Creator of all things. Then allow His Spirit to reign over you life. We have tried to do it on our own but as we have seen, you cannot use the product of carnality to overcome carnality. Become a son of God, in the image and nature of God for this is why you were created, to live and walk in fellowship with your Creator. The peace that has eluded mankind for so long would now be his experience because man would now function in accordance with the purpose of the Divine Manufacturer.
