CHOOSE LIFE!


 

CHOOSE LIFE!!!

 

 

“I have set before YOU life and death, 

blessing and cursing: 

therefore…

CHOOSE LIFE,

that both thou and thy seed may live.” (Deut30:19)

 

 

You mean… I HAVE A CHOICE?

 

 

You bet you do!

 

 

Every day… every hour… every minute… every situation… every circumstance…

YOU HAVE A CHOICE…

You choose to succumb to the storm and all that seems to be falling in…

Or to rise above all the turmoil 

AND LIVE!

…FULLY… COMPLETELY… and with JOY!

 

 

 

Ps118:24

“This is the day the LORD has made; 

WE WILL REJOICE

and be glad in it.”

 

 

Because…

 

 

…in (HIS) presence is fullness of joy… (Ps16:11)

 

 

AND…

 

 

“…The joy of the LORD is your strength and your stronghold” (Neh8:10)

 

 

1Th5:16-18AMPC

Be happy [in your faith] and 

rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); 

Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; 

Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, 

be thankful and give thanks], 

for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will].

 

 

1Jn5:4

“For WHATSOEVER is born of God overcomes the world.” 

 

 

Are you born of God?

 

 

Then see things from HIS perspective…

as seated at the right hand of the Father in a heavenly places. (Col3:1)

YOUR FAITH HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD (1Jn5:4-5)

 

 

“For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, 

but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. 

For to be carnally minded is death, 

but to be spiritually minded is LIFE AND PEACE.” (Rom8:5-6)

 

 

You are of the last Adam… Jesus Christ

Who is a LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT. (1Cor15:45)

 

 

In Him you now live and move and have your being. (Acts17:28)

 

 

Col1:13

“Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son”

 

…A NEW KINGDOM… UNDER A NEW LAW… 

THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS (Rom8:1-4)

 

 

So…

 

 

Phil4:4AMP “REJOICE in the Lord always [delight, take pleasure in Him]; again I will say, REJOICE!”

 

 

You DO have a choice!

 

 

CHOOSE LIFE!

THE FOOD PRAYER

Image
  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

The Perfect Will of God

Image
  The Perfect Will of God   Rom12:2  “…Do not be CONFORMED to this WORLD , but be TRANSFORMED by the RENEWING of your MIND , that you may PROVE WHAT IS that GOOD and ACCEPTABLE and PERFECT WILL OF GOD .”   I was always taught that there were three different WILLS of God… And you are placed in one WILL or another determined by your maturity level, your faith, and your closeness to God.   However… let's dissect this verse to clearly see the intent behind each part.   ·        CONFORMED – properly means: assuming a similar  outward  form (expression) by following the same  pattern  (model, mold). ·        WORLD - properly, an  age  ( era , "time-span"),  characterized by a specific quality  (type) of existence ·        TRANSFORMED - metamorphóō - changing form or shape in keeping with a transformed inner reality...
