WE ARE REGRESSING

2 Peter 2:20 For if they have escaped the world's defilements through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

The pandemic is one of the most significant setbacks in history. The war in Ukraine is a massive tragedy for the entire world. The damage from climate change is already worse than predicted. WE have taken a giant step backward for gender equality and women's health. We are more intelligent and lazier; we're home more and spend less time talking to each other. Technology has taken over family time; no one eats at the table; everyone is in their rooms. So what's happening to the world, we ask. Could it be "we are the victim of false teaching; we have been reformed but not transformed."

Father, so much is happening in the world today that goes against Your Word because so many believers are being reformed but not transformed. We are born again through a partial knowledge of Christ and His Spiritual principles, which so many have not received. So, help us turn from our sinful nature to moral cleansing. Lord, let us not come under the influence of this world but walk in Your ways through this Valley of death. Father, we have taken You out of our everyday surroundings, so we have begun to sink, and nothing is holding Satan back. So, we who are called by Your name come to You with clean hearts and opened minds for You to intervene in the Holy name of Jesus. You're the only one that can fix this broken world, so please renew our strength and courage. Increase our faith and understanding 🙏 let our actions encourage others to receive You and walk in Your ways, so we can turn it around right now in the name of Jesus Amen.
