Check Your Interface!

 

The proper interface is important for two entities to share information. For example, if you have a computer that lacks an 802.11 or 3G interface, you cannot access the internet wirelessly.

 

Every human being is equipped with what is commonly known as a conscience. Another term for this is “moral compass.” I like to think of it as a “wireless interface” or a radio receiver. Likewise, your internal receiver is always tuned – without change – to that frequency. I like to call it, “W-G-O-D!”

 

One of the failures of Christian evangelism is that its practitioners are little more than fire-insurance salesmen. Folks obtain salvation as a means to avoiding eternal hell but little more. The ultimate failure of religion is that it promises a pleasant afterlife without dealing with the present issues of the here-and-now.

 

Every other major religion of the world views Jesus as a great man. Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and others all call Jesus a “prophet” or a “holy man.” However, one of the characteristics of a “good,” “holy,” or “prophetic” man would have to be honesty. Consider the words of Jesus in John 10: 7-9:

 

⁷Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep. ⁸All that ever came before me are thieves and robbers: but the sheep did not hear them. ⁹I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

Here, Jesus identifies Himself as an interface, calling Himself a door. It is interesting that He refers to Himself as a door, because a door is an interface to either another room in a building or a point of entry or exit to the building. Understand, though that without a hinge, a door is merely another type of wall. What made Jesus a door was the cross; the cross is the hinge!

 

As if that weren’t enough, Jesus puts the punctuation mark on His assertion in John 14:6:

 

⁶Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jesus is not merely saying He is an interface; rather, He is the interface.

 

It is essential to understand interfaces because they often represent the gateway to something we are trying to achieve or receive.

 

Which begs the question, what is Jesus the interface to? Well, He clearly stated He is the door to salvation and the way, or interface, to the Father.

 

“But,” as they say in the infomercials, “wait, there’s more.”

 

Jesus said in John 10:10 that He “…is come that they (His followers) might have life and have it more abundantly.”

 

In other words, Jesus is the gateway not only to eternal life but to abundant life! This abundant life is only possible through the interface to proper relationship with the Creator; that is, God. And it is through this relationship that we find our purpose, receive our divine assignment, and fulfill our destiny.

 

Mankind cannot fully comprehend its purpose without a revelation springing forth from the mind of the Creator. And this type of revelation only comes from a holistic relationship with God through Jesus Christ.

 

So, if you are a disciple of Christ and you are not experiencing the abundant life promised you by the Word of God, or if you are among those who do not know Him but want to experience life to the full, check your interface!

The following is an excerpt from the book, "satan, Let Me Refresh Your Memory," by Derrick and Angela Day. 

 

Who’s backing you?

 

Before we get puffed up and wise in our own conceits to think we can take on satan on our own power, we have to remember that true warfare require fighting forces. Every standing army is backed by the government it is sworn to defend. And every standing army has a commander-in-chief; in the Kingdom of God, the Commander-in-Chief is our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Citizens of the Kingdom of God serve two roles, ambassador and soldier.

 

First and foremost, we are ambassadors of the Kingdom of God:

 

Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20)

 

It is our duty to represent our King. As part of the new birth, we are commissioned to spread the good news of our God and His glorious Kingdom. When our citizenship changes, we remain in the world but we are not of the world. Therefore, we are ambassadors in a foreign land and, as such have the responsibility to speak the words of his home government, lest we be subject to recall!

 

Next we are called to be soldiers. This is why the Apostle Paul gave the illustration of combat apparel:

 

Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God…(Ephesians 6:13-17)

 

We have to understand that, in our capacity as soldiers, we are to be an occupying force of a victorious power. We are to be peacemakers (Matthew 5:9), not aggressors. We are to fight the good fight of faith (1 Timothy 6:12).

 

In our charge as ambassador and soldier, we are backed by the power and glory of Almighty God, creator of all things, the King of kings, Lord of lords, and the savior of mankind, Jesus Christ, and the Governor of all Creation, the Holy Spirit.

 

Just like U.S. dollars are backed by “the full faith and credit of the United States Government,” we must be fully persuaded we have the backing of the Lord of Hosts when resisting the devil. What is the guarantee we have this backing? The Word of God! It is the believer’s assurance that God will do what he says.

 

The devil is not the opposite of God. If this were true, satan would be God’s equal and would possess God’s creative ability. The fact is God has no equal! Evil is not the opposite of Good, it is merely the absence of it. Just like darkness is not the opposite of light, it is simply the absence of it!
