The Difference Maker

People command attention no matter what, and they influence the same by what they say or do even if physically present or not: "Oh I hate what they stand for", or "I love what they represent "; "I want to be like them", or " I want nothing to do with them", "They are worthless", or "They are meaningful." "I want to know them", " I don't want to know them." As people, we base value on whatever reason we have, and we classify others into groups for whatever reason we have but we shouldn't. The good truth is that we are all equal no matter age, no matter race or gender, no matter nationality or religion, political or economic status, no matter health condition or physicality, no matter if you live across the pond or tracks etc. It's the human spirit that is the common denominator in humanity, and it is the Spirit of God who is the true Difference Maker among and within us. God in Christ Jesus is our Value Maker. Therefore, in our shared equality, and amidst the living God what we do and say and believe impacts everyone. This truth emphasizes the importance of being honest in all things and when in wrong to make the critical decision to repent back to God quickly. It also emphasizes the significance of being in someone's actual presence and how powerful our actions can be to influence another. It is an honor and very highly significant to share the presence of another person, because humanity is created in God's image with the capacity to receive the Spirit of God inside them. You'll find that when in the presence of God you are highly significant and especially valued beyond your ability to reason, because it's not what you look like, what you've done, nor what you believe that makes your value. It's that you were created by God and infused with a spirit that was intended to know him and experience him personally. To become one with him! This is the truth! When Jesus was on earth being in His physical presence revealed his selfless servant nature. He did not come to be waited on but to serve us. The reason why Jesus is the greatest among us is because he is the greatest servant. He puts his Father and people first. He's the one whose first inclination was to follow through and protect the innocent, lift high the low, empower the weak, stabilize the wayward, save the lost....
If there is doubt that Jesus is worthy to be Lord of Lords and King of Kings then we need to hope in the presence of the Lord. If there is no evidence of his servant nature we must request, rather plead, that Jesus would make his presence known among us by his Spirit. Making things great again does not start with focusing on class or status, money or power, sickness or health, failures nor successes. Rather, it has everything to do with the human spirit finally resting in the presence of God who is Jesus Christ, and trusting in his ability and power to make the whole world great again by his servant heart within us. Letting God work is a Spirit thing between the human spirit and God's Spirit. We Yield and Let Go! We must ask God to forgive us of our pride and sins, the only barrier that keeps God out of our lives, and wash us clean of our broken nature. We must receive His Spirit inside of us by confessing that Jesus is Savior and Lord, and that we need him to transform us by becoming born again by Water and Spirit. We must pray that the blinders come off so we can know Jesus is God in the flesh. We must confess and believe that he died to shed his blood (the cleaning agent) for everyone personally on the cross, and arose from the grave on the third day. If each person would sincerely pray to God and pursue him for this Salvation in his Son Jesus everyone would soon have the Spirit of God in them, and would be controlled by God's Spirit who is the real Difference Maker. The Bible reveals all of this. God the Holy Spirit points to Jesus Christ just as God the Father does. Because Jesus can and will make everything great again if we yield our bodies, souls, minds, and spirits to him. We can repent of our sins because we are human, because we can respond to the kindness of God. Look at the crucified Jesus, CRUSHED, on your behalf. Personalize his pain, sympathize with his suffering and you will be closer to repentance. You will hate your sin, you will want to be made clean because of the compassion Jesus has for you. Finally grasping on to Christ will take us quickly into true and everlasting change. 

We gotta let go into this truth for one another, and watch the Holy Spirit Energize. This is the Energy, This is the Chance we can take, this is the Fight, it is the Lift and Shake."
