Conquering Contradictions

Association brings about assimilation.  You become what you are around.  You are affected by your environment.  You think like who you run with.  What is cultivated in you?
Culture - an integrated pattern of human knowledge, belief and behavior that depends upon the capacity for symbolic thought and social learning.  The set of shared attitudes, values, goals and practices that characterizes and institution, organization or group.
What happens in your social environment develops a culture.  The power that shapes the mountain is Christ.  Christ is not Jesus last name - it's the anointing.  We have such contradictions of who we would like to be and who we are.  It's easier to bring you out of it then it is to bring it out of you.  It's a race to see who can become more anointed.  Sometimes the folks who do the best shouting are doing the worst living.  We think that being more anointed will liberate us from what is after us.  What do you do when what you are trying is not working?  What do you do when you keep getting lonely?  What do you do when you keep wrestling with lust?  What do you do when you keep getting anointed but frustrated?  God anoints you for service.  The anointing comes upon you for power to do a task.  The anointing is empowering you to do something, but not necessarily change something.  You can do great works.  You can witness, but you can't be real with the people around you?  Wrong thinking.  Even in lifes shaky times we can conquer contradictions.
