How do you respond to authority? - Laetitia van Schalkwyk

  How do you respond? Especially when it comes to authority. How do you respond to authority? We read in 2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 TPT “Now, if anyone is enfolded into Christ, he has become an entirely new person. All that is related to the old order has vanished. Behold, everything is fresh and new.” Ephesians 2:4-6 NKJV “But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:4-6 TPT “But God still loved us with such great love.

Genuine connections involve uncomfortable conversations. It is always better to address things rather than avoiding, withholding & ignoring. Opening and leaning into vulnerability is key instead of refusing to engage when others let us know how our words/actions have impacted them.   But! This is key:   Practice the pause .

  I bless you with a Christ centred 2023. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever.” The Greek word for the “same” emphatically states that Jesus Christ is unchangeable! May you remember, that when God said: “I AM,” He didn’t say “I WAS” or “I will be,” because God is the same yesterday, today and forever. His nature will never change. He will always be good. Today is a good opportunity to shed that past because when you are living in the past, it causes depression and when you live in the future, it creates fear.
