Change Is Not Carnal…
Self meditation, physical discipline, & implementing righteous deeds upon the Earth are glorious & all, but none of it will ultimately change me (or any human) sans intervention by the Divine.
“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:”
“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)”
“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; (2 Corinthians 10:3–5)”
Change ultimately begins within (starting with the inner mind).
Although I have to initially embrace changing for the better (or at least desire to change), Christ is the one who will empower me to become a better human.
