The world wakes up one morning to find a total change. No, not zombies or only one man left. Instead, no more being able to put self first, no more being able to self determine who was worthy of your love or help. What would the reaction be? Personally and world-wide.

That would be something wonderful to see. Personally, that's the way I live every day.

You do not take care of your basic needs before attempting to take care of the basic needs of others? That's amazing.

I would say for people to be more understanding and more love in this world.

What would happen to business, finance, government, etc?

Remember they ALL CRY WOE WOE WOE BABYLON IS FALLEN ! When it is fallen.

All society is greedy, sinful, pernicious, opposed to truth.

As written: IF / or WHEN / 'they' find out that you serve a living God who demands a total
life change,

'they' will turn viciously against you, gnashing their teeth on you, and

no longer accept you as brother or friend. (because 'they' are opposed totally to God and
Jesus and truth and life) ....

That would be the description of a world-wide indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Are we caught in some kind of cosmic catch-22? Do we not have enough faith for the Spirit to dwell in us to the degree that we can manifest the sorts of gifts we only read of in the Book of Acts...OR, does the Spirit not dwell in us to a degree to make those gifts possible? Are we all too lukewarm?

Sorry, I'm not seeing the connection between my quote, what you're asking of me and the OP.

It would be the exact same if we just chose to do the right thing every day. We'd be the same, we would just have a clear conscious, we'd be confident because of obedience and wow....we might actually love each other! :D

Can't wait to check out of here!!!

Somewhere I heard
be careful what you pray for.
M-Bob

Somewhere? How about right here....I will tell everyone that it's true, when someone prays for testing, if you're a true Holy and Righteous Child of God, He'll most certainly allow many incredible and even frightening events that demand growth and maturity. It's incredible, how God will show His Power to those who truly believe.

Many do so now, so for them to wake up and be the same as the day before would be the norm. But they might find the persecution, mockery and being discredited may have stopped, at least while those who previously did so come to grips with the idea they can no longer do it, and try and figure out how to now function.
