You can change the direction of a conversation by speaking words of HOPE, LOVE and FORGIVENESS. God loves you. The devil hates you. Jesus came to give you life. The devil comes to kill, steal and destroy. The devil is a liar. HE is a destroyer of life. You are the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
I am ageless – immortal – in the image and likeness of God – and the cosmos (the world) (the universe) is looking for the sons and daughters to take their Righteous act and to seek the peace of God.
The Lord sees you as HIS RIGHTEOUS CHILD just as if you had never sinned. Jesus Christ came to save you from all condemnation, not to condemn you. HE came to give you HIS Crown of Righteousness and Robe of Righteousness.
Kingdom Living Being BE versus do. Knowing your identity in Christ, knowing you are a child of God, knowing the finished, completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross is where you get your identity. Your doing will come from your BEING, instead of doing to earn your being.
You have an unfair advantage because God the King Lord Jesus Christ is always looking at your heart, while man is judging and looking at your height, weight, skin color, hair color, race, religion, sex, wealth, family, job, education, intelligence, and abilities.
This is what I command you: that you love one another. John 15:14-17. Jesus Christ the word of God, the creator and redeemer chose you to bear everlasting fruit when you love others. HE calls you HIS friend when you love others as HE has loved you.
