CONTROLLED LIVING
Who controls your life? Is it God, you or Satan? What matters is what God wants! Don't ask others about your ideas or opinions. Ask God for a strategy and put your trust and faith in Him. Let the Holy Spirit lead you. When you step out to do God's will, the people who love you will be against you. When you bid God's calling, beware! He is Wonderful and cares about you! Give all the control to God and stay balanced. Put God in the driver's seat of your life. Before confronting an issue, always ask God how to deal with it. The flesh always likes to complain when inconvenienced. Buckle up because He will take you on the ride of your life if you trust Him.
Don't control others and don't be controlled by anyone. Control, manipulation, intimidation and deception are all from Satan. Self pity is idolatry. Don't feel sorry for yourself. Start your life over in Jesus Christ. You may think religion will help you through life but the truth is it won't. It is the RELATIONSHIP with Jesus Christ that sees you through life. We need to gain knowledge of the wisdom in the Bible. God goes the extra mile for us so let's get out of the slavery to Satan. What fruit are we bearing? Spend time with God and abide in Him and He will make every bitter thing sweet in your life. Pray for the people in your life to have God's light. We can live a Spirit controlled life.
Don't be suspicious about things. That is Satan's way of attacking you. When Satan messes with your mind, remember how good and patient God is with us. Satan is a liar. We can't believe lies are truth. Resist the devil.
We grow when opposed. The devil opposes righteousness. We need to learn to say "NO". Stay on the attack and you won't be under attack all the time. In this world there will always be tribulation because Satan never gives up. The moment we do good Satan tries to trip us up. The devil constantly tries to divert our minds. If we stick to something, we will have a breakthrough. If we are adaptable, we will have victory.
Satan doesn't want us to ever be happy. Our progress with God in our lives drives Satan to a jealous frenzy. We must recognize evil when it appears and be ready to turn it away. Only Jesus can help you. The calm in our souls comes from happiness. If we have joy, we have it on purpose. We have it because we have Jesus Christ in our life!
If repression consumes us, we have terrible health problems along with what ever else is troubling us. Don't let oppression take over. Our focus needs to be constantly looking forward with Christ leading our way. God had a plan for your life before He created the foundations of the earth. Listen to His calling. The decisions you make now will forever mold your future.
Confess your sins to God because he will forgive your sins. Tell Him you love Him and want to be His child. Ask Him to lead your life. Trust Him! He is locked in the mold of faithfulness. He will lead you "Home"!
