“I have given them Your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.”
~John 17:14

As a Christian, you are in the world but you are not of the world. So you must learn to live apart from the world. You must learn not to consider yourself as a part of the other nations. You have to daily guard yourself against worldliness.

“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God…”
~2 Corinthians 6:14-16

When you as a believer date an unbeliever, demons are deceiving you; the devil is at work in your life. How can you?  A Christian that dates an unbeliever is under demonic influence; worldliness has taken over his life. A Christian dating an unbeliever is just like a human being getting married to an orange tree. It’s bestiality.

A Christian is in a higher order than a human being. So when you begin to date an unbeliever, it amounts to bestiality. It’s just like those humans who go to have sex with beasts. Little wonder those Christians are very weak and spiritually impoverished. The truth is that you can’t walk in power if you’re mixing up with the world. To walk in dominion, you must guard against worldliness.

Thank You Father, that though I’m in the world, I’m not of the world. Strengthen me to retain my separateness, in Jesus’ name.
Amen.
