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...
