WHAT ARE YOU WILLING TO DO?
Deuteronomy 18:9; Hebrews 4:11; Galatians 5; Romans 7:23 Isaiah 28:22
What are you willing to do? Take heed how you choose. Choosing to do good or to do evil is your responsibility and an act of your sovereign will. You choose every day, at any given time, no matter who you are or where you live. Hebrews 4:11 says. Don’t follow any example of disobedience. The scriptures say not to return to the ways that Jesus has delivered you from. Those who are accustomed to doing wrong are compared to a leopard not changing its spots. Remember that there is a law in your members, says Romans 7:23, that “wars against the law of your mind, trying to bring you into captivity to the law of sin”. This War can start with a small skirmish in the corner of your mind, but too soon the thought repeats until it becomes a pattern of disobedience that is hard to break. But Galatians 5 says: We know the truth now, and the truth has made us free. We are now the slaves of righteousness, and Isaiah 28:22 says to” let those bonds of righteousness be made strong, for there is destruction determined even upon the whole earth. “ In other words, God tells you to strengthen your will because of the future. Other hearts may grow cold these last days, but our bond to liberty grows the more we practice doing good.
God can rebuild your goodwill. Just as He hardened the Pharaoh’s heart so that His judgments against Egypt were justified, He can harden your resolve to obey. In the Bible, Esther was taken from the beanfield to be the Queen of Persia, and to save God’s people from the annihilation planned by Haman, the king's chief counselor. Even Our Lord was held in heaven until the time was right for Him to be born, crucified, and rise again to save the people from their sins. Time was created for God's purposes, and people were placed on earth to fulfill them. In other words, your time is now. Your purpose is going forward despite your setbacks. Remember, He does not deal with us according to our iniquities, and our mistakes have strengthened us for God's purposes. While you were suffering in your last trial, as terrible as it was, you were being molded into a sharp tool fit for His use. There is a time for everything under the sun, Ecclesiastes says, even though the appointed time for something in your life may lie as yet in the future. 2 Timothy 2:26 says to come to your senses and escape the snare of the devil, who wants to take us captive to his will. When you are being tested, we need you to stand straight, look ahead, and pass your tests in God with that bulldog will, that limitless determination. Although my message today is brief, listen and take heed of what you are willing to do. Amen?
