The word for today is - Apart

Good morning,
The word for today is - Apart!
Lets look at Romans 12:1-2,I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Understand that you, being set apart from the world is a great thing! Have you ever have someone say to you that your different? Your chosen, by God! This is the plan of God, you are chosen or set apart by God for His glory! We have to get to a place in God an be able to speak,No matter what happens in this world or in our own individual lives we will trust God's plan. God has set us apart from the world,we are in the world but not of it, read John 17:15-18,I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. Read that again, this is Jesus praying to the Father, for us, asking God to keep us from all evil. Wow, that is true love! Most,often lack of peace results simply from the absence of God in ones live. Do you need peace,there is only one way to get this peace, its in Jesus! With God involved in your live,you can rest easy. As we get to know God and listen to what he says in the Bible, he brings about that peace of mind in our lives, the peace that the world can't take away. Why? because the world didn't give it to you.God's intent is for us to have a more abundant life no matter what the circumstances are. He wants to have a positive influence in every area of our lives. When we rely upon him and his words, we are building upon the Rock that will stand forever. Unlike us, God knows what will happen tomorrow, next week, and next year. He says, "I am God, and there is no one like me, declaring the end from the beginning." He knows what will happen in the future. More importantly, he knows what will occur in your life and mine and He will be there for us when it happens, if you have include him into your life. He tells us that he is "our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in times of trouble." But we must make a sincere effort to seek him. He says, "you will seek me and find me, when you search for me with all your heart." So, set aside everything that is holding you from seeking the Lord. So speak, you have the power,apart from me, speak to these things that are not of God, get out of my way, and get out of my sight and my life.Read this, it is Jesus talking, He tells Peter to get out of His sight, read Matthew 16:23,But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. You have the power its in your tongue, life or death. To those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.We have been set apart for the call of God on our lives. It is during these times that we will find ourselves spending quality time with God as He molds us and makes us into His image. Read Matthew 22:14 says,"For many are called, but few are chosen."Thank you Lord for your word. Amen !
