“Paul wrote Timothy saying, “No man serving as a soldier entangles himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who has chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Tim. 2:4. While we are not to be of the world, the promise remains that we may very well face persecution in the world. Jesus said to His followers, “These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me you might have peace. In the world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.” John 16:33.”

“This doesnt mean we must ignore the duties of the world forever; that would be impossible. Let prudence be our guide. However, I do believe that it is a common mistake of Spirit-filled people not to leave the cares of the world periodically to praise God in their spirits and to rest in the peace of His divine presence for a few moments.”

“It’s not only true that my life is Christ’s, but my life is Christ.”

“But you need to meditate on the Word. You need to spend the time cultivating your spirit. You need to spend the time with God, doing some of these things that will grow you, so that when the glory turns up, or when you turn up in the glory, then your body does not get freaked out. Because your spirit man is the candle of the Lord (Proverbs 20:27).”
