: To be new creatures in Christ, the Lord molds us anew. We do not achieve this through conviction, nor by our own will, we achieve this when, upon knowing His word and having His revelation, the Holy Spirit comes and nests in us. Only He, our Father, transforms our hearts. We must, thanks to the free will that the Lord has given us, walk the path that He has for us. We must master the flesh and let the Holy Spirit flow in each one of us. You will know them by their fruits.

Francisco Diaz S.: How many people are there who want to follow the call of Christ but refuse to leave the things of the world: They will say, How will I live? What will become of my family? What will I do with my business? These doubts lock them in the darkness of the world and they do not see the light of the Lord. Let us pray for those souls who do not take off, do not free themselves so that they understand that glory is not in the world.

: When I entered into the ways of God, I did not understand leaving everything behind. As I studied and matured in spirit, my spirit understood that it is leaving the old man behind and this means that we have to change the way we live and not miss anything of our old nature, so as not to make the mistakes of looking back as Lot's wife did or the people of God did when they left Egypt. They did not value the curtain of fire and the cloud that took care of them 24 hours a day. When the Father sees that our heart belongs to Him and that He is first in everything and His joy is firm regardless of the circumstances, it is there that we see His Glory and the supernatural of Him in us, and how is that Glory? We submit to His Will, Good, Pleasant and Perfect and He totally takes care of our life, home, children and all our relatives. Our focus is to remain on the Rock that is Christ Jesus.

It is inspiring to see how you have understood the meaning of leaving everything behind when entering into the ways of God, leaving behind the old man and embracing a new way of living in Christ. Your comparison with Lot's wife and the people of God leaving Egypt is very apt, reminding us of the importance of not looking back and trusting fully in the Lord's constant provision and care. When our heart belongs completely to God, we experience His glory and the supernatural presence of His in us. Keeping our focus on Christ, the Rock, guides us to remain firm in the midst of any circumstance. May God continue to strengthen your faith and lead you in His perfect will. Thank you for sharing your profound reflection! God bless you abundantly!
