Episode 27: 2nd Timothy 2

I live my life empowered by God’s free-flowing grace, which is my true strength, found in the anointing of Jesus and my union with him.

I overcome every form of evil as a victorious soldier of Jesus the Anointed One. As a soldier called to active duty, I have divorced myself from the distractions of this world so that I may fully satisfy the one who chose me.

Just as an athlete who doesn’t play by the rules will never receive the trophy, I choose to remain faithful to God.

I carefully consider all that I’ve been taught, and the Lord inspires me with wisdom and revelation in everything I say and do. I make Jesus, the Anointed One, my focus in life and in the work that I do. Jesus came to the earth, was crucified for my sins, and rose from the dead. But the word of God can never be chained. Any hardship I endure is for the glory of Christ Jesus. I have discovered the overcoming life in him and experience a glory that lasts forever!

I know that just as I was joined with him in his death, I am joined with him in his life. If I am joined with him in his sufferings, I will reign together with him in his triumph. I do not disregard him. And even when I am faithless, he is still full of faith, for he never wavers in his faithfulness to me.

I am committed to share the gospel with others. I do not allow myself to be drawn into meaningless arguments, or tear others down with useless words that only harm.

I am always eager to present myself before God, perfect and mature, without shame, as one who correctly shares the Word of Truth.

I avoid empty chatter and worthless words, knowing that they simply add to the irreverence of those who converse in that manner. I know that the Lord God recognizes me as truly his. I forsake wickedness and worship the name of the Lord Jesus.

I do not disgrace my life or my purpose, but remain a pure container of Christ, dedicated to the honorable purposes of my Master, prepared for every good work that he gives me to do.

I run as fast as I can from all ambitions and lusts; and chase after all that is pure. My holy pursuit is after whatever builds up my faith and deepens my love. And I live in peace with all those who worship Jesus with pure hearts.

I stay away from all the foolish arguments of the immature. I know these disputes will only generate more conflict. As a true servant of the Lord Jesus, I am not argumentative but gentle toward all and skilled in helping others see the truth, having great patience toward the immature. With meekness I am able to carefully enlighten those who argue against the Word so they can see God’s gracious gift of repentance and be brought to the truth, so they can rediscover themselves and escape from the snare of the enemy and his purposes.
