By THE SPIRIT Paul wrote in 2 Timothy chapter 1:
7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
FATHER has given us power, Love, and a sound mind thus it is your choice whether you pursue what HE has ordained or you choose to be controlled by man’s traditions and sensual wisdom. Men would have you believe that you have no choice but FATHER makes it quite clear that you do. The mere fact they are trying to convince us means they really understand we have a choice and they want us to submit to their view.
Choices either produce life or death, good or evil… it is that simple. In Deuteronomy chapter 30, by THE SPIRIT it is written:
19 “I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live; 20 that you may love the LORD your God, that you may obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give them.”
If we had no choice, FATHER would not have asked us to choose. Your thoughts are controlled by you, not someone else so we must not allow the intellectuals to trick us into submitting to man’s excuse not to choose life. Those who believe we have no choice are often lawless and/or irresponsible because they don’t accept accountability for their actions. “The devil made me do it” just doesn’t fly.
Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Philippians chapter 4:
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.
We are given the directive of what to allow our minds to dwell on- pure, true, and positive life-giving thoughts. Any other thoughts produce toxic and evil results. Which are you going to entertain? In the end, it is your choice.
