Are You Willing

John 6:29 NLT
Jesus told them, “This is the only work God wants from you: Believe in the one he has sent.

We have all been programmed through our life experiences. We like what we like and shy away from the unfamiliar. We like to stay in our comfort zone.

It takes a lot to move us from that place of security. Years ago mankind was convinced the earth was flat and if you sailed to the horizon you would fall off.

I am sure this was taught in their schools and believed by their scholars. It was not true but their teaching made it true to them. We believe a certain way because of our past programming.

As man experienced that you didn’t fall off but kept going because the earth was a globe, reprogramming occurred.

Consider the Jews. They believed a messiah was coming and had been programmed as to what he would look like and what he would do for them. They did not expect Jesus as a man like them growing up with them and therefore did not see Him as the messiah. They still deal with that wrong programming. God placed a veil over their eyes.

What about our programming from past religious experiences? Are we willing to be reprogrammed? Are we willing to walk away from all we believed and walk in the truth?

We are saved by grace and are no longer under the bondage of the past. Satan has no hold on us. He who is in us is greater than he who is in the world.

An yet many think they have to work hard to stay on the right side of God. That grace has a price to pay by our good works. But Jesus told the disciples that the only work was to believe.

Father God, I am willing. Help me to allow Holy Spirit to guide me through a transformation of my thinking, a reprogramming of past religious thinking into the freedom you have given me. In Jesus name.

Believe it. Receive it.
