Free will 

Part 3 of 3

   OK, I need you to stop, and think for a while, how come someone was willing to go through all the pain He did. Then be nailed to a tree? Because in equal measure He loved us that much. Do you know anyone whom your willingly – unconditionally – ready to sacrifice yourself for? That is how great Gods love is for all of us. W.O.W Once you can finally get your head around that, and grasp how great a gift this is, how much better you will fully feel about yourself. You will not want to even dip your big toe into your old ways.

# OK, now that part is sinking in,

now try the following out for size. #

   Over 2000 years ago, Christ Jesus & our father God knew you, way before your parents new about conceiving you. This is true supernatural stuff. Let this resonate with you for a minute. So then after accepting Him into your life because you knew you had to change you ‘life style choices’, to go back to your old ways, that would be plain stupid.

   You don’t go and pay good hard earned money on a brand new computer, only to get it home, then go on line to your old virus filled web sites, or do you?

OK, Sixty million Dollar Question: …

Why if God so loved his Son, why send Him and allow

Him to be treated worse than a common criminal.

Then allow Him to be wiped till there was barely any

skin left on His back, if that was not enough then

they put a thorny crown upon Jesus’ head.

Then made to carry on Jesus back , through the

streets for all to see, all the waywardness streets

to the Mount of olives. Then with these great

long nails, they drove them through Jesus’ hands and

feet, right through to the other side of the cross …

Why oh Why?

… All this to beat death, and ascend to Heaven. But wait this is just scandalous, I don’t know of anyone today that would love us so much they would freely sacrifice their only son, so we would have life more abundantly, do you? That is why we sing songs of worship, and give prayers of gratitude today. Now, when we die and go up to Heaven, as death has no hold over us any more, to be with Christ Jesus in Heavenly realms.

   Within our relationship, and it’s so good, surly you would not take advantage of this beautiful thing. But yet, Christ wants to be closer with you, helping you. Surly you know the sky is the limit in what you can have. Here’s a point to ponder … ‘The more I want Him, the more I behold Him, (if you will), there is a change in me, a supernatural change that leaves me more & more & more, felling Wonderful .. Happiest .. Contentment ..Whole’. Finally liberated from all that had bound me from before for so long. Instead of wanting the urges to go after my old fleshy ways, now I yearn for the good graces, from our living God above. I’m now wanting a personal relationship, so that when I get to Heaven I will already know Him. It’ll be like meeting up with a long lost friend, who would not want that?

   The old 1,000 hoops we had jump through, are now gone. We are not coming to Church for a performance, nothing of the sort. Praise Be. Now, what should move you spiritually, is, Christ Jesus our Lord & Saviour. While we are looking upon Him, looking into His Glorious face, and trying to more like Him, there is something stirring within me that is beyond measure and wealth, I feel so liberated. I no longer want to give my time or thoughts to my old fleshy ways, not for a second. Now I only seek a relationship with Him, for ALL else is folly! Again the only thing that should move you is that relationship with Him.

"While we try and to be like Him the Holy Spirit is

working in me something wonderful is which changing 

me for the better”

   Because now I’m taking pleasure in Him, and all my desires are totally changing. Now there is this wondrous opportunity to tell so many people about this as possible, till it sinks in. This has changed me so much so, I thought I was happy, but now I know true happiness. I recognise Gods graces now upon my life I refuse to let anyone one still this true happiness and Gods good graces in my life. I will share these for eternity, and back, never letting them be taken, that would be this Worlds greatest travesty. I want all of us to know Him better, closer.

Q: Are you ready to know Jesus on a

more personal level?

    

   There is something wrong with a person who says “I feel less condemned, but I still want my old ways”. So then why did you choose to be saved? Then still expect all of Gods graces. Let me put it this way – ‘Why would you want to get your dream job, yet you don’t turn up for work, and still expect to get paid, really who does that?

Psalm 150                                            Praise the Lord!

1. Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

2. Praise Him for His mighty acts; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

3. Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; Praise Him with the lute and harp!

4. Praise Him with the timbrel and dance; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!

5. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

6. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!

   Everyday, with no let up, you are going to be in conflict with yourself, your old fleshy ways, and Jesus ways? I know as soon as I open my eyes, it’s always Jesus ways, no hesitation, no question. Some of you may still be in conflict, so let me help you with this suggestion of a poem, try and remember it or write it down and keep it in your wallet…

“ Jesus I know I have to choose myself

I’m angry and frustrated with myself,

so help me God, so that I know to choose

you every time”

...may god be with now and forever, to help you through life’s trials and tribulations. Every morning before you get out of bed say aloud if you can..

I Choose Jesus every time

[May Gods word be a blessing to all may it shine a light unto your feet].
