God is in Control and He Chooses what We Need to do for Him—R Fritz
When we choose Jesus, we do not choose what we decide to do and what we do not want to do, we do what Jesus wants us to do. Why would we not want to do exactly as we were told when we decided to choose Jesus? That decision changed our life forever. I can say that in my case I had to deal with fear and at first, it slowed me up as God was helping me to overcome. What I chose to do was keep making headway towards my goal of defeating fear. It was moving forward then back then forward until I was given the tools to move on. I see other people struggling with fear and have struggled for some time with the same issues but have not made much headway. It comes down to trusting the Holy Spirit and not depending on our past failures with our expectations not able to get past them failures. It is called fear of failure where we lose our faith and belief that our life will not change as we have been believing a lie from Satan. These past failures keep us from taking another shot at a better life. It is saying and believing we do not have enough money when we should be expecting God to bless us where it is not happening. It is a matter of changing our attitude where we expect God to bless us. It is thinking positive about our expectations all the time. We need to look at ourselves and ask the question what are we doing wrong and why are we not seeing the blessings? We should be pushing closer to God through the Holy Spirit. Hebrews 4:16 says “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” We need to come to God confidently, sometimes we come to God defeated, we need to come to God before we feel defeated where he can pick us up.
We are in control when we choose to overcome issues in our life as God is waiting on us to ask for the help then he will show us to overcome whatever is our issue. For me it was that I had to work my way through that issue so that I could teach somebody else how to overcome it. That is how the Holy Spirit operates as he teaches us so we can teach somebody else. When we refuse to listen and choose what we know we are in trouble. Wisdom comes when we choose to listen and we follow what the Holy Spirit says to us through our thoughts. It comes down to we have lost our hope. Satan stole our hope and our confidence. The answer is to get back in the Bible read and study where God changed the situation and gave that hope back then we will gain back the confidence we lost. That is what I did to change when I had a lack of confidence. We need to put everything we have into Jesus as we gave our life to him believing he could change our life. We are fighting in the flesh, that is why we are beat down. Satan knows we fight in the flesh and tricks us into that fight because Satan knows we will lose. The flesh is the automatic where we were born into. The spirit is where battles are waged and won and lost, where we win because that is where God is and that is why after Jesus died the Holy Spirit is our teacher, spiritual leader and the hope we were given. We must believe and embrace Jesus then give up or surrender our control, our will, to the Holy Spirit. Until we do that our direct line is stopped by us because we do not trust the Holy Spirit where God can use us. One thing God gave us was the ability to choose, free will, we choose everything in our life or our decisions do. Whether we choose the wide road which is where we are when we are born or choose to change to the narrow path to righteousness and heaven thru Jesus, we will make that choice every day. Matthew 7:13-14 says “Enter ye at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.” Few people will find that strait gate because that narrow path requires us to follow Jesus every day. It is not a choice we make once and we are good; it is a choice we must make every day otherwise we start to go towards the wide gate as Satan always points us to the path towards that wide gate or destruction.
What most people do not understand as spiritual understanding comes from God the issues that stop us or the disabilities we claim are only in the flesh, they do not exist in the Spirit. I was asking a question from somebody I was talking to where the Holy Spirit gave me an answer about the Spirit verses the flesh. This also answers the question about heaven and disease and what we will look like in heaven in our spiritual body without sin verses our fleshy body with sin that eventually will decay and die. We are spiritual beings, but we
were born into the flesh (what we can literally see) where moving to the spirit which is taught by the Holy Spirit and who lives in us is seen in the spirit with our spiritual eyes. Most people are not ready for the spiritual side; the spiritual side is life. 1John 5:10-13 says “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that have the Son hath life, and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.” The witness is the Holy Spirit that lives in us. If we do not embrace the spiritual side, healing is what he should ask for in our prayers when we have physical or mental issues, and we need to believe and have faith for spiritual things to happen. Study the things of God and ask for God’s wisdom and his understanding to make our life all we want it to be. God Bless.
