Daily it’s choices, it’s decisions, but more than anything it’s about denying ourselves..and our sinful nature…see it’s sin that gets everyone of us in trouble…it’s that old man so to speak that rises up an as I said gets us all just a little bit in trouble…that’s why were told to pray continually for that is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning each of us..1 Thessalonians 5:17….the Lord knows that we were formed in sin.Psalm 51:5….and He knows that we are merely made from the dust..Genesis 2:7…see God knows us…and He knows the sinful part of us…see we all daily choose what it is that were going to do…but as well were told that if we walk in the spirit we will not mind the things of the flesh..Galatians 5:16…see it is that sin that blinds us and deceives us…it fogs our memory…it makes us believe things that doesn’t even exist…it makes us do things and say things that we would never do or say….see that sin nature is easy for us to entreat…because we are sinful people…and we have to daily deny ourselves and pick up our crosses and follow the Lord..Matthew 16:24…we have to keep our minds and our hearts daily…we have to choose what were gonna think about and what were gonna focus on….see our choices and our choosing always comes down to us and what we chose to do…no one makes us do anything…we ourselves choose for ourselves….but guys if were gonna walk with Jesus.. and were gonna follow Him….than it isn’t about us and what we think or want…but it’s all about the Lord and what He thinks and wants….self as I said is an easy thing to entreat…I heard a preacher once say this…you don’t have to teach a kid how to lie…they just already seem to know how to lie…but you do have to teach a kid how to tell the truth…see we have to teach ourselves as well daily….not once a week…but daily….daily we have to come into the Lords presence….and daily we have to seek out His help and ask Him to create in us clean and pure hearts and to renew right spirits within us..Psalm 51:10…guys we live in a sinful world…and we are constantly being bombarded with it’s ways….so we have to put on Christ and His ways…if not we will walk as the world walks…we will talk as the world talks ….and yes we will live as the world lives…and that is not and should not be any of our goals….especially if were children of the most high God….so let us work on us…and let us be kind to people and love everyone…and stop all of  the hating…all of the bickering….all of the arguing and especially all of the jealousy…for all of them things are not from the Lord…nor do they represent Him at all…so let us step and rise up…to be and to become everything that our Father which is heaven would have for us to be…In Jesus’ name I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen!! Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi
