Luk_9:23 And
he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and
take up his cross daily, and follow me.
1Co_15:31 I
protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.
DAILY we choose,
daily our will to walk after Christ is put to the test. DAILY we give ourselves
to the LORD and RESIST the devil!
Jas_4:7 Submit
yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
DAILY!
Truly we ONLY live
in the present and nowhere else. Our pasts may shape up but we don't live in
them it's impossible. Yes, people may talk about someone living in the past but
they are really living in the present but obsessed with the past. Likewise, we
can't live in the future. NO ONE is promised tomorrow, not a single
person. We live in the present and in
the present we must choose Christ, we must use our will to choose Christ. If we are NOT actively choosing Christ we are
choosing Satan, he is the default choice that we make by not choosing Christ as
our Savior, daily.
Evil spirits will
grab ahold of ALL- not some, not a few, not a lot, but ALL those who do not
actively choose Christ- constantly. If
we stop actively choosing Christ, the evil spirits will take that as an
invitation and do all they can to deceive us. Every evil spirit strives to
deceive us into believing we are still Christ's while secretly owning us and
our will. NEVER forget that Christ will
tell MANY people to get away from Him, that He never knew them and they in turn
are going to cry out how they did so much in His name that surely He has to
know them, but HE does not know them and will not claim them as His.
Please, Lord, we
would ONLY EVER be YOURS- help us to this end to be found only in YOU, choosing
you over all else! Please! All through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior now and
forever!!!!!!!
'One common
principle underlies the way all ground is relinquished to evil spirits: it is
through passivity, the inactivity of the will.' Excerpt 'The Spiritual Man' by
Watchman Nee
Our wills must NOT
be inactive! We must actively use our will for CHRIST, submitting to HIM
always!
