Life.....Based by Choices, What Do You Choose?

Life...... its all decided by choices and actions, its full of attitudes, and personality. Some say we can't control Life, others say you can take control of Your life. I like to say Jesus take control of my life.
People are the reason why the world is the way it is.....God is the creator yes..... but people seem to think they know better then God......there is too much of pride and selfishness.
I am a person ....... you reading this is a person......we all fail and there are times we all succeed.....The funny thing is a lot of people will denigh the power of God and scoff at one when they Praise God for doing something great in ones life....and the scoffers will try to pass it off as a coincidence....and refuse to give God credit when Gods miraculous hand is at work .....but yet their the first ones to complain and blame God when terrible things happen in the world.....and say why did God allow such a thing.....you see God won't control people He gave all of us free will, meaning we have a choice to live for God or not.....things happen because of the actions of people.......and based off the decisions of people....and sadly no matter what way we choose to look at it innocent people unfortunately get affected by other peoples decisions....if you don't have a relationship with God then you will blame Him for the crap in your life and all the junk going wrong in the world......if you Love Him and know Him then you will thank Him for all the stuff in your life and understand what is really going on in the world.
What page are you on today? I want to be on the same page as Jesus, despite the turmoil in this world and the chaos I'm glad I know who Jesus is.......Stop blaming God for all the terrible things in your life and the world when truly its because of all the Un-repented sin in the world and lives of people based off the choices people made.......its not God out there committing the crimes and doing the killing.......nor did He make them do such things. You see there is a battle going on beyond our eyes if you choose to believe it or not. The question is are you gonna serve God and join His Army and live and apply the Word of God and build a relationship with Christ? Or......Choose to think your way is the best way....
Know this, just because I or any other person is a christian don't make them perfect, its funny how the ones who don't live for God seem to know what or how a christian should be. I am a Christian not once claimed to be perfect, I to am a person, I to mess up and sin,we all do, for the Bible says we ALL sin and fall short from the Glory of God..... it also tells us "Romans 6:23" For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.....I am not better then you and your not better then me and Jesus Loves us all.......but not all people Love Him. I repent daily asking God to forgive me, why? Because everyday I sin....I also accept His gift of life His Spirit convicts me when I do things that dis-please Him it helps me know what I done wasn't approved by Him and because of my Love and desire to live for God I notice when I do wrong and make it right with God as I repent....scripture says if anyone claims He has no sin then he is a liar and have not the Love of the Father in him....but it also tells us when we repent God will forgive us.
DO you Love Jesus? If the answer is Yes.......then show it! That goes for me to. He wants us to Love Him with all of our heart with all of our mind and with all of our soul.....He tells us to seek first the Kingdom of God.....He tells us to denigh ourselves and take up the Cross daily, Many of us say we Love Him but spend very little time with Him, He desires that time with us......stop waiting to be perfect before you decide to live for Him.....we all need His Spirit for if we have not the Spirit of Christ then we are none of His, its a free Gift, not something we need to earn or beg for its free gift for all who will receive it, The Holy Spirit will help us live a life pleasing to God......receive it today.
Some think that people become brain washed because a lot of times it changes ones life.....because of such a drastic change many think its because of a church that brain washed them....mind you there are many churches out there even-though they claim Christ they anger God because of how they pervert the Gospel......but for many when one allows God to fill one with His Spirit they become a new person....no longer wanting to do the things they use to....as one is filled with the Spirit they become alive spiritually and allows and wants God to mold and shape our lives what we use to like we don't like no more we begin to take interest in the things of God and choose to Live a life pleasing to Him. Its not because we are told to ....well some do......if so then its not genuine, allow God to lead you and convict you, if you choose to stop because your told to, it gives room for bitterness to grow, what I am saying is don't be dictated to make sure its Bible because people have their own opinions and ideas doesn't mean its right let the Bible be your scale....change because God says and because you see it in His Word......to many people when asked why don't you do this anymore and many will answer because my Pastor says its wrong.....or why do you believe that and then people will say because my pastor says that....don't base your salvation on what people say......check it out yourself and if it lines up with Bible then apply it because of obedience to the Word and your love for God then that way you will know why you believe it. If you truly Love God you choose to live for God because you Love Him and see what His word says and choose to obey it....I encourage you today, allow God in your life He Loves You, will you allow God to come in your life and get to know Him?
Some say there is contradictions in the Bible.....Gods Word does not contradict peoples understanding of His Word will make it seem at times like there is ..... but you see where people make mistakes they go on their own understanding and not allow the Spirit to teach them, and many will decide what is for today or not....they go by the wisdom of man and get all these different interpretations......and many agree if its convenient for them or goes along with their life style..... regardless of what we try to make it be Gods Word is perfect many will add to it or take away from it or twist it to make it seem like what they teach is correct, for one the Bible interprets the Bible....and for one to understand the Bible is to have the Spirit of Christ in them the Holy Spirit some versions call it the Holy Ghost, for it will help one to understand the Word of God for it becomes the living Word, as our spiritual eyes are opened we will see more and understand more of the Bible. As long as we stay humble and have a teachable heart and allow the Spirit to teach us and give us understanding......
Back to choices of people, If you Love God then you will want to know His Word for its Gods divine Word it helps us know what God likes and hates it teaches us principles to live by that pleases God, and also warns us what is to come for them who choose not to live for God......Some will choose to Live for God and others will choose not to live for God.....Some will accept all of His Word and apply it to their lives and others will say its just a book and not take it serious. Like it or not its is the book we will All be judged by in the end, some choose to believe that others won't, many of us who claim to be Christian will live a luke warm life some will choose to give their all to Him, many think because God is a Loving and forgiving God and say that all will make it to Heaven, but many forget that He is also a Judging God and He tells us that lukewarm Christians make Him sick, He tells us that the way is narrow and there be few that will find it.....He will even say to many that day who were sooooooo sure they made it that they were living pleasing to God because of things they have done and works they did in His name and even then to many He will say I know you not worker of iniquity....anotherwards one who chose not to follow Him and His ways.
For me and my house we choose to live for God.....we are far from perfect but God is still working on us, We choose to apply the Word of God to our lives and strive to be all we can be for Christ as we allow Him to mold and shape us as we grow. Teach us oh Lord to live a life pleasing to You. Its all about choices, and with choices there is sacrifices, and there is consequences. Jesus gave us all a choice.....to accept Him and let Him in our lives or to reject Him and do our own will. It all depends on what we let influence us, that chooses the road we decide to take.......
