Choose Carefully

Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. HE will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination!   HE will outdo them all, for HIS miraculous power constantly energizes you.  (Ephesians 3:20 TPT)

Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 10:

17 When the seventy missionaries returned to Jesus, they were ecstatic with joy, telling him, “Lord, even the demons obeyed us when we commanded them in your name!”

18 Jesus replied, “While you were ministering, I watched Satan topple until he fell suddenly from heaven like lightning to the ground. 19 Now you understand that I have imparted to you my authority to trample over his kingdom. You will trample upon every demon before you and overcome every power Satan possesses. Absolutely nothing will harm you as you walk in this authority. 20 However, your real source of joy isn’t merely that these spirits submit to your authority, but that your names are written in the journals of Heaven and that you belong to God’s Kingdom. This is the true source of your authority.”

21 Then Jesus, overflowing with the Holy Spirit’s joy, exclaimed, “Father, thank YOU, for YOU are Lord Supreme over Heaven and earth! YOU have hidden the great revelation of this authority from those who are proud, those wise in their own eyes, and you have shared it with these who humbled themselves. Yes, Father. This is what pleases YOUR Heart: to give these things to those who are like trusting children.

FATHER hides reality from those who would abuse it for their own selfish purposes.  As we come to the reality that it is all about Jesus and His Blood, we gain further revelation concerning His power and authority which is able to operate through us just as it did with the seventy.  When the seventy embraced and operated in the authority given to them by Jesus, satan fell.

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 6:      

16 Don’t you realize that grace frees you to choose your own master? But choose carefully, for you surrender yourself to become a servant—bound to the one you choose to obey. If you choose to love sin, it will become your master, and it will own you and reward you with death. But if you choose to Love and obey God, HE will lead you into perfect righteousness.

17 And thanks be to God, for in the past you were servants of sin, but now your obedience is heart deep, and your life is being molded by Truth through the teaching you are devoted to. 18 And now you celebrate your freedom from your former master—sin. You’ve left its bondage, and now God’s perfect righteousness holds power over you as HIS Loving servants.

The comparison is quite clear and anyone who has eyes to see will choose to Love and obey Our Heavenly Father.  Once again, it is all about Love!
