No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.\u00a0<\/span>God is faithful, and\u00a0<\/span>he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. ~ 1 Corinthians 10:13<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Jesus was the only human being who did not have the pre-existing condition of sin. He was tempted in every way that we are, yet He never succumbed. And He has given us His Spirit. The same Spirit He lived by when He was on earth.<\/span><\/p>\n

In\u00a0Revise Us Again<\/a>, I address numerous \u201cpre-existing conditions\u201d that Christians have which are rarely talked about, along with their remedies. Unfortunately, the biblical reality of transformation and being formed into Christ\u2019s image is of little interest to countless Christians today. They\u2019d rather learn about the anatomy of heaven or hell in the afterlife.<\/p>\n

This is one of the reasons why the body of Christ is in such sad shape today, having very little impact on the world.<\/p>\n

Thankfully, God is raising up a tribe of followers who are deeply interested in transformation and understand that the kingdom of God depends upon His children being \u201cchanged into His likeness.\u201d<\/p>\n
