We cannot afford to allow strife to function in our lives and relationships.

Strife: angry or bitter disagreement over fundamental issues; conflict

James 3: 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. (KJV)

James 3: 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. (NKJV) 

James 3: 16 For wherever there is jealousy (envy) and contention (rivalry and selfish ambition), there will also be confusion (unrest, disharmony, rebellion) and all sorts of evil and vile practices. (Amp. C)

Strife and anger create enemies. How we treat our enemies directly affects our prayer life.

Luke 6: 27 – 31 “But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, (28) bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. (29) To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. (30) Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. (31) And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise. (NKJV) 

Proverbs 21: 14 A gift in secret pacifies anger, And a bribe behind the back, strong wrath. (Amp. C)

The same Abiding Word that will set us free will also new our minds. If the Word does not abide in our Spirit Man it cannot set us free or new our minds.

Our Minds are Renewed by the Living Word.

If we are to live a consistent Christian Life, we must renew our minds.

Ephesian 4: 23 And be constantly renewed in the spirit of your mind [having a fresh mental and spiritual attitude], (Amplified Classic)

Romans 12: 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. (NKJV)

2nd Corinthians 4: 16 – 18 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory, (18) while we do not look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things which are not seen are eternal. (NKJV)

John 6: 63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life. (NKJV)

This Living Word of God is constantly at work in us who believe It.

John 8: 31 – 32 So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. (32) And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. (Amplified Classic)

John 17: 17 Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. (Amplified Classic)

It is the abiding Word that you know in your heart that sets you free.

John 15: 7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. (Amplified Classic)

The Word cannot abide without Faith.  Faith comes by hearing.

Romans 10: 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (NKJV)

Faith works by Love.  Without Love our faith will not work.  Without Faith and Love the Word cannot abide.

Galatians 5: 6 For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. (Amplified Classic)

John 8: 31 – 32  So Jesus said to those Jews who had believed in Him, If you abide in My word [hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them], you are truly My disciples. (32) And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free. (Amplified Classic)

John 17: 17  Sanctify them [purify, consecrate, separate them for Yourself, make them holy] by the Truth; Your Word is Truth. (Amplified Classic)

It is the abiding Word that you know in your heart that sets you free.

John 15: 7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. (Amplified Classic) 

When we study the Word, meditate on the Word, confess the Word, and apply our faith to the Word, it comes alive in our hearts or spirit man.

As we meditate on the Living Word the Holy Spirit will enlighten our understanding.  As He enlightens our understanding we grow in the knowledge of Who God really Is and His Ways.  We also grow in the knowledge of who we are in Christ Jesus and what our ways are supposed to be.  We become the light in a dark and hurting world revealing Jesus.

Psalm 119: 130 The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple. (Amplified Classic)

(18) Just as You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. (19) And so for their sake and on their behalf I sanctify (dedicate, consecrate) Myself, that they also may be sanctified (dedicated, consecrated, made holy) in the Truth. (20) Neither for these alone do I pray [it is not for their sake only that I make this request], but also for all those who will ever come to believe in (trust in, cling to, rely on) Me through their word and teaching, (20) That they all may be one, [just] as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe and be convinced that You have sent Me.
