WHAT IS YOUR COURSE OF ACTION!!!

WHAT IS YOUR COURSE OF ACTION!!!

YOUR WILL: The mental faculty by which one deliberately chooses or decides upon a COURSE OF ACTION. So my friends today what COURSE OF ACTION have you taken in regards to your Salvation.

Each of us as candidates for God’s pure and holy kingdom need to remember God will not force us to Choose Him over Satan. if we do not protest by using the armor of Christ salvation, we allow the forces of evil to take over our life, and at that point,

Satan has a legal claim to our mind and body because by our choice and only our choice we have allowed him to Be OUR MASTER, and not God. And God will never overrule a person’s COURSE OF ACTION. ‘That’s why it is important to first know who we are in Christ.

John 1:12 tells us “But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become CHILDREN OF GOD.” So if I understand that text correctly my faith in a Crucified Savior gives me the right to be a Child of God.

Oh what love, that He would give such A RIGHT to a wretched sinner like me “amazing grace how sweet the sound” Another step in our COURSE OF ACTION should be to know Our RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES once we have established ourselves as a Child of God.

Psalm 8:4-6. tells us “What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet.”

You mean all that is good that my God has created I have dominion over and a RIGHT TO. Wow this is amazing. And then I believe the most important aspect of our COURSE OF ACTION should be to know what power, and authority do we have as Gods children against Satan and the forces of evil.

My friends as we follow the word of God we should understand that Satans motives are only to keep us blinded with what his world which is bound for perdition deems is right and acceptable, for in 2 Corinthians 4:4 it tells us

“whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.” Well my friends this is where it really gets good. Paul tells us in

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

So if I get this right. As Christians and believers in Jesus Christ and Him crucified if we ”Walk in the Spirit, we shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.” Galatians 5:16-17

Also James tells us in James 4:7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” Oh my God what a COURSE OF ACTION for His Children. WALK IN THE SPIRIT AND SUBMIT TO GOD in other words

“take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” My friends as I read the Word of God I can see that if we just follow a step by step COURSE OF ACTION that our Savior has laid out for us

“the Lord will always deliver us from all evil and will bring each of us into his heavenly Kingdom. To God be the glory” My friends “Satan well knows that all whom he can lead to neglect prayer and the searching of the Scriptures, will be overcome by his attacks. Therefore he invents every possible device to engross the mind. But my friends Neither wicked men nor devils can hinder the work of God, or shut out His presence from His people, if they will, with subdued, contrite hearts, confess and put away their sins, and in faith claim His promises.”(E.G.White The Great Controversy)

“not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.” Zechariah 4:6.”The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and His ears are open unto their prayers. . . . And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?” 1 Peter 3:12, 13 MY FRIENDS JESUS CHRIST AND HIM CRUCIFIED MUST BE EACH CHILD OF GOD’S  COURSE OF ACTION IF YOUR DESIRE IS TO MAKE HEAVEN YOUR HOME ONE DAY

So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
