Freedom Will Always Have a Price Attached



I have come into encounter with several folks with in the last 3 months that are in a valley of decision being faced with the challenge of choosing God's Will or Free Will. And while I can only sit back and pray and seek God bringing the petition of Let your Will be Done oh God in their life it does cause my heart to ache while watching them sway in the balance with these issues weighing so heavy with-in them.... I guess as an intercessor you see more than you bargain for when activating in your grace and call. Its hard at times to sift through it and place it where it needs to go with out at times taking it to heart.Well that is what I have found a time or 2.

Last night, was one of those moments in time that for once I would of loved not to be graced to be an intercessor or even step farther prophetic. Because I was having a great time with a special person in my life..when a bomb shell of news went off while talking and it really made my spirit man come alive yet at the same time break my heart.....I did my very best to allow the spirit man to be activated and speak forcing my heart to be silent....because if its one thing I know..in moments like that is when God tends to use me the best...to speak what needs to be spoken....and I only pray that my words were those of my Heavenly Fathers and they penitrated the heart of the one I was with during this time....because I know all to well what lays ahead...I see the fork in the road for this one while looking to the left I see what God has, and then to the right I see the entrapment and life of destruction the devil has....but itsn't my road to choose to walk, and that is what hurts....I can only Pray that this one follows GOD'S VOICE and WILL RATHER THAN FREE WILL...and chooses the path God has ORDAINED BEFORE TIME FOR THIS ONE.

I have for some time now been meditating on the issue of free will and the price one pays to follow their free will rather than the will of God set before them for their life. While at the time free will doesn't appear to be costing you a dime, in the end the price will be death. Read Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."

And then I thought about the price one pays when they serve God and start trying to daily hang out with those who aren't serving God....there is a difference between a circle of close friends and a circle of those you are to minister to....Read 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 "Do not be misled, Bad company corrupts good character. Come back to your senses as you ought, and STOP sinning, fror there are some who are ignorant of God."

But the main place I want to zero in on tonight is found in

Provebs 14:12... "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death."

The book of Proverbs frequently talks about life and death. Wise living (choosing Gods will over free will) tends to make you live longer, while foolish living (living out of free will) pushes you into an early grave. If you take this observation at face value, you'll have a problem. Plenty of people who live foolishly (in free will) survive into old age, but the concept of life and death in proverbs is talking much deeper than a physical survival...Its talking about the spiritual death as well as physical. By life (choosing God's will) the book of Proverbs means "this is real living" full of peace and joy and wisdom. By death (choosing free will) means a spiritual decay as well as physical.

A person who chooses to walk in free will may as well be labled dead spiritually and plan their own funeral for the physical because its a matter of time before the sin catches them and kills them. Choices that seem perfectly right may end up destroying you, That is precisely why people need to cultivate wisdom and follow the Will of God for their life rather than walk in free will. What looks good may not always be good. "Everything is permissible for me, but not everything is benificial." 1 Corinthians 6:12

Galatians 5: 16-18 " So I say to you Live by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit and the Spirit contrary to the sinful nature. They conflict with each other, so that you don't do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law."

This means that when walking God's Will for your life you will not be forced to live in bondage but you will walk free! Free Will leads to bondage which will lead to death.

Ephesians 4:22-24 " You were taught with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self (following free will), which is being corrupted by its decietful desires, to be made new in attitude of your minds (a renewed mind) and to put on your new self (Gods Will) created to be like God in true Righteousness and Holiness."

So choose ye this day whom you will serve. As for me and my House we WILL serve the Lord!



Ecclesiastes 11:5 "As you do not know the path of the wind or how the body is formed in your mothers womb so you cannot understand the work of God the Maker of all things."

Don't sit on the fence, cuz when the wind blows you will fall off forcing you to land on a side that may cause you to pay the ultimate price.....eternal damnation of your soul!

Father, I pray that those reading this that are in a valley of decision will begin to experience you in their life like never before...begin father to speak to them, reveal to them and lead them into the truth, your will...lead them out of destruction into everlasting joys....Father let them have a life changing encounter right now that will change the course of their steps NOW.....I take authority over every evil scheme, plot and trick that the enemy has set out to take out the voices of this generation...SATAN, YOU HAVE NO POWER....THEY ARE CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.....LET ME REMIND YOU...YOU HAVE LOST....YOU ARE DEFEATED....I command every buffeting spirit that is causing these folks to walk staggering in the darkness like blind men to loose your hold now on them...and I command you to go into the dry and distant place now..never to return to them.....Now father I loose the angels of heaven to be assigned this night to them...guarding them, protecting them, ministering to them and even speaking and help leading them into all that you have for them.....HOLY SPIRIT GO NOW.....AND DO WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN SENT TO DO IN THEIR LIFE....for your glory and honor oh God......Amen....

Remember:

He that Started a GOOD WORK In You IS FAITHFUL To COMPLETE It....

Stay The Course

RENEW YOUR MIND DAILY In The WORD OF GOD

BEGIN TO SELF DISCIPLINE YOURSELF

ABSTAIN FROM THE VERY APPEARANCE OF EVIL AND WALK IN THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOUR LIFE...

Intimate Encounters


I began to talk to God...and when I was done, I began to listen for his voice. I turned the light on in the car and allowed my fingers to flip through the Bible and as I did God began to speak to me.
He started in 2 Timothy 4:18 then it went to Proverbs 3:5-6.

Followed by this statement The life people chose for themselves is of limitations. The life God ordains for one is a life of manifestations.

I then flipped to Psalms 119-105 and then Psalms 18:2

I stumbled apon these words written in my note book I was using to jot all this down in "loose your faith loose your voice." Then I recalled theses words spoken a while back "Only the hard hearted break covenant because they don’t care about others."

I began to listen more to God and as I did I found myself flipping through my notebook and read "Influence had got to drive the voice, Influence helps develop your identity. Influence means to bind and to tie. Influence comes through team concept. Team concept requires strong shoulders."

I know that I was reading this not by accident but it was God speaking to me and reminding me of what He spoke a while back for such a time as this.

The voice with influence is needed! Your voice comes through faith! Walking in influence allows you to walk in unlimited resources concerning the purpose God has given you.

Our weaknesses are present so God can connect us to those who have the same ’weakness’ as a strength to teach us how to not allow it to master us but teach us how to master the weakness.

Without unity there is NO POWER!

I then continued to wait on God to speak during our time together and then began to hear him speak on.

Scattered people accomplish nothing. Unity attracts Gods attention. Sight is the fruit of faith. Faith challenges us to something that doesn’t make sense. Faith depends on a voice. Mark 6:1-4.....

Sight can’t be used to understand faith. Submitting to God is what gets us to the unseen! 1 Corinthians 10:13
Determine in your heart that when adversity enters your world head on that you are going to praise your way through it in Spirit and in Truth despite what you see or feel in the natural realm.

There is an hour where God will REVEAL YOUR ENEMIES TO YOU! It was betrayal that promoted Jesus to the next level. Those who sacrifice with you are those sent to you!
When you get to a broken place know someone will show up in your world with the solution to your situation/problem.
When you are drowning move towards the place God has for you and you will find safety!
As I continued to seek God and His voice, I stumbled apon these words by Pastor Lane "The problem isn’t found in the harvest, It’s found in those who are called to do the labor (reap the harvest) running from the challenges they face while laboring."
As soon as I read this I camped there and began to meditate on the words....and God began to show me more on this.....

"Every promotion has a giant that needs to be taken out but it also is up to us (the one being promoted) to take out this giant so that we can be promoted. Our leaders aren’t required to take out every giant that we face in our lives." God recalled these words that were spoken on 1/14/04 by Pastor Gayle Brannan as I was seeking God on what Pastor Lane had said. (see above paragraph)

Then God began to remind me that Unbelief stops the ability to diagnose problems with accuracy and percision. He also reminded me that Iron sharpens Iron.. and that is to be the same in our friendships...Friends are to be like Iron.

I then began to think about some things in my own personal life and as I did God recalled to my mind this statement/question..... What your willing to walk away from determines what God will bring to you.

Then He reminded me that Covenant isn’t changed by what you see with the natural eyes. (example story of ruth and naomi)

Which then triggered my spirit to recall to mind that fear is brought on by a Spirit of Bondage. Fear when translated means faithless.

Which then began to take me to maturity....and God again showed me that True maturity is when you do what God commands without feeling it. And is seen when one presses through despite what they feel.

A promise is worth fighting for. When God promises you something ... fight with everything you got...the enemy will do everything he can to rob you from this promise.
PEOPLE WHO FIGHT OUT OF FEAR FIGHT OUT OF DEFENSE RATHER THAN A CONQUERING SPIRIT.

FEAR IS A PARALYZING SPIRIT.

Ex. 13:17-22 When fear is imparted the enemy is able to dictate and control every move you make.

Romans 8:15 and Hebrews 2:14-15

What must be done? God showed me that if we Renew our minds and stand on his word...and surround ourselves with those who HE HAS SENT TO US.....NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM!

Psalms 144:1-2

So when you can do nothing else..STAND...AND STAND AGAIN......GOD HAS YOUR BACK AND WILL SEE YOU THROUGH THIS...AND WILL LEAD YOU AND GUIDE YOU!

YOU ARE NOT DEFEATED!

BUT I HAVE A PEACE THAT GOD’S WILL SHALL PREVAIL!

So I will be still and Watch God!
