God has given us one of the greatest gifts. That gift is called “Free Will” and with this gift comes the “Power of Choice”.
This is a major component that most Christians miss. Not just Christians but anyone of faith. We tend to think that if we believe in God then EVERYTHING we go through in life is a product of what God wants to happen to us. Through the good or bad, if we have a success or failure, every trial and tribulation we are asking God “Why are YOU allowing this?”, or praising God in “Thank You”. Now don’t misinterpret what I am saying. God IS involved in ALL that we do but ONLY to the extent that we allow HIM to be. And one thing I have noticed is that God is NEVER at fault or to blame regarding ANYTHING that we may be facing or dealing with.
God is a gentleman and He is NOT a God of control. He gave us the gift of having a “Free Will”. He gave us this gift BELIEVING IN US to use this gift wisely and to make the right choices along with one of the best manuals to help steward this gift which is HIS WORD. He gave His ONLY Son to bear our sins, He gave us the Holy Spirit to help guide us, He gave us His Word to help instruct us and He gave us the opportunity and the HONOR to have relationship with Him and Seek Him and See/Hear Him respond. However, He gave us ALL of this and then gave US the POWER to CHOOSE if we want to partake in it.
We must start maturing within ourselves and begin to examine where we are at in the present moment. Everything you see around you is a product of what you CHOSE or are CHOOSING! Whether it is something good or something bad it is a product of your CHOICES! It seems so easy to place the blame on God or other people for our own failures. Whether it is a relationship, something with our career, an addiction, financial difficulty, bondage or whatever else one may be facing. It ALL came about through choices we made. And some of us KNOW better. Some of us KNEW or KNOW the Lord, have relationship with Him, were raised in the Faith, study the Word and yet we still CHOSE “Free Will” and did things our own way only down the line to now look at God asking Him how HE is going to get us out. So here we are again, facing choice.
Yes, God can deliver instantly and He does still work miracles but what are you going to choose when He does? When He delivers you and that which you were delivered from presents its self again are you going to choose to stay delivered? When He releases you from bondage and bondage comes back to bunk with you again are you going to choose to stay free? When He performs that miracle are you going to choose to do what is right after receiving that miracle? And lets be honest, sometimes CHOOSING Him and His way may not be popular at the time, it may not make sense to others, it may seem that you lose some material things or relationships but in the end CHOOSING Him and His way will be popular, it will make sense to others, and that which you lost WILL be restored. It may or may not be the same things or relationships being restored but what is restored will be that much BETTER.
We live today in a world where there are so many choices around us. Choices to make in belief; food; careers; housing; finances; investments; health; entertainment; and relationships to name a few. We also live in a world where change is rapid. Everything around us is constantly changing and sometimes we may have to make a choice in a matter of seconds. I believe that if we can remain balanced between our everyday lives and being in the Presence we will be more prepared to make those choices that need to be made in a matter of seconds. We will also become more confident with who we are and what we have been purposed to do which means when the opportunity to make a choice comes we will be less likely to make the wrong one.
I’m reminded of a time I went to the Lord to commune over some opportunities that had been presented to me. I remember being concerned and fearful of making a mistake. His response was, “Daughter, there is My PERFECT WILL for you but I can NOT going to push My perfect will on you. I gave you “Free Will”. I gave YOU the POWER to CHOOSE!” He then showed me in His Word regarding the good, the acceptable and the perfect will of God. Some settle for the good, some settle for the acceptable and others desire the perfect. I want the perfect will for my life. I want to be right where I am supposed to be when I am supposed to be there. He then began to give me insight on if I chose this or if I chose that what I would face, what I would have to do and where it would lead. He gave me what I needed but it was still MY CHOICE! I could either take heed to the instruction I was given or do my own thing. And I have found in doing my own thing it only prolongs and wastes time. So now I take heed to the instruction He gave, believe that I receive it, trust Him through the process and obey His instruction. Most people think God is like a genie, they think they can run to him ONLY when they are in trouble or need and He will continue to bail them out. He may do this when you first start your walk as your natural parents do but eventually even God will look upon us and tell us to GROW UP, to take responsibility for our own choices. What I also know is unlike people when He does do this He does it ALL in LOVE. How many times has God given us counsel and yet we still do our own thing and then when the moment is over we are looking back wondering why we didn’t listen to His counsel and then asking God to help get us out of our situation when we could have just received His counsel, BELIEVED His counsel and moved forward in it.
Now please understand. This walk, again, is about growth. We will always be going through some event to help build character and to help us grow. To help us grow IN Him and IN His Word. And yes, some situations are completely out of our control but even in those situations we have the power to choose. As I heard one individual say, “Don’t make a life long decision in a temporary situation”. How true that is. Something at the present moment may not be going right or may even “appear” to be right BUT seek God out before making any choices. He knows best where He is taking you and He knows best what choices being made now will get you to where He is taking you with fewer obstacles. I believe if we seek Him out and His Word before making our choices, especially major ones that can affect not just us but those connected to us down the road, then we can lessen the pain or hurt that we could experience.
Of course the best part about this is it is NEVER too late to choose Him or to make the decision to choose His way. Even if you are smack in the middle of a situation you can turn to Him, choose Him and His way and watch His power unfold. CHOOSE God and His Way and walk this thing out. People are counting on it!

The TRUTH Shall Make You FREE!
We know the Word of God is TRUTH and that the Word does make one free but in order to receive the Word of God as truth and experience the freedom that comes with it there must be truth before God in regards to SELF.
If God is giving us the solution to our freedom (the Word) then He obviously knew that there was going to, at some point, be situations, people and spirits that would seek to bind us. So, us pretending, faking or leaving stuff out when we go to Him is absurd. After all, He is ALL KNOWING. So who are you truly hiding from? What are you truly hiding from Him…your NOT. He knows if you made the wrong choice, He knows if you are not following His principles, He knows if you are faking, He knows if you are tired / weary, and the list goes on. The only one(s) you are truly hiding from are yourself and the people around you.
We must see Him as our secret place, our safe place and learn to deal with the truth of our situations and what we are bound to when in that place. We must trust that He can handle those parts that are so deep that only you know about them. We must take ownership of the role we had to play in our current condition(s). If you are truly in the Presence of God you will not be able to avoid the inner dealing or wrestle that takes place when you come face to face with Him, when you have that intimacy with Him. We must begin to come to God without a planned speech but in a truly humble state where we pull off the mask and learn to cast everything on Him. Our cares, our faults, concerns, failures, worries, insecurities, fears, issues, etc. Yes, this can be an uncomfortable place, especially if you aren't able to see, at the moment, what your freedom entails. In the end though, it will be worth it.
Bondage is the counterfeit of freedom. It provides a false comfort. And the longer you are in it the more familiar you become with it and its day to day function. Sadly, most people prefer this because they know what to expect. It allows the individual to stay the way they are with no responsibility to change.
We have a responsibility to truth (the Word) and a responsibility to be truthful. We must learn to be truthful with God, ourselves, with those we love and those who are connected to us, especially if we are in a position where we are over others. And I don't mean this in the sense of throwing ALL one's business out there but in being able to be honest, admit to a mistake when we make one, to ask for one's forgiveness, to teach and share the revelation we receive. Otherwise those connected to you, those you are over are observing someone that in their eyes is perfect and then when they mess up they walk in a guilt or shame, and possibly become bound to it because they didn't reach the perfection that they feel you walk in.
I will never forget the day, many years ago, that I broke through in this. First, in my time with God and then with others. The Lord showed me that transparency is an effective tool. Our walk isn't about being perfect but it is about being available. After all, what will it benefit others, and even self to go through life constantly making things / situations appear one way when they are really another? It can actually become dangerous because it then causes those connected to you to make decisions, some that may be life altering, based off a lie, which has no future, rather then truth.
Not every deliverance is immediate, like salvation. Some take time and are a process. No matter how long, remain forever truthful to God, yourself, those you love and are connected to. And when God gives you the Word that will set you free keep that Word before you and in your mouth. Do not part from it. Stay in it until that Word makes you free.

Our Words... Matter
Today, I went to God about a recent situation and His response was so simple it was almost humorous.
He said, “Stop talking about it. The more you talk about it, the more you keep it alive. You gave it to me, I confirmed what you asked and I exposed what needed to be exposed. Whether those involved change or not, you laid it down, you gave it to Me and now it is Mine. It belongs to Me. Don’t take it back and don’t keep it alive by continuing to talk about it and question it. Keep your eyes focused. Your mouth shut. Your heart right and move forward.”
This correction reminded me how important our words are and how easily it is to forget this. Our words are a huge representation not only of who we are, but also of where we are at in life. Our words can either paint a false picture of our reality (denial), the truth of our reality (acceptance), or the hope of what we desire our reality to be (faith). Our words reflect our innermost being, that which is in our hearts, our minds and our Spirit. Our words can either be our best friend or our worst enemy. They can reveal our insecurities or they can reveal our faith. They can reveal our motives or they can reveal our goals. Our words can bring animation to our vision, our desires and our dreams. Our words, once heard, can bring correction to us, they can minister to us, and they can encourage us. But mostly, our words can bring the power of life and death to others, to ourselves, and to our situations. Our words can either tear others and stuff down or they can build others and stuff up. Our words can keep things in our lives that should be dead, alive. In the same, they can keep things that should be alive, dead.
Words are a powerful source and can be a powerful weapon if used correctly. So moving forward, think and filter before you speak, not just about self and self-situations but also about others and others’ situations. Where the Will of God or another is not known be careful not to create, with your own words, your will. Be cautious when in a place of uncertainty, unfamiliarity, hurt, anger or confusion and guard your words. Rather than pull from your emotions, pull from your Spirit, pull from the Word. Train your heart, your thoughts and your mouth. (And this takes consistency and practice) Take control over your world, not through forcing, manipulating, working or deceiving but through your words. Choose to speak words that bring life and that bring faith. Choose words that build rather than tear down. Choose to be the difference by your speech. Choose to open your mouth with wisdom and the law of kindness. Don’t allow that which does not represent the real and true you to be your representation. Remember to be slow to speak and quick to listen. Awake with an ear and a tongue of the learned that you will always be prepared to give a Word IN season to him/her who may be weary. And lastly, surround yourself with others who understand and speak your same language.

What Have We Become?
I have recently found myself coming in contact with more and more homeless Christians. Christians who love God, have passion for God, carry the gifts and the callings of God but are wandering, some seeking for a place of fellowship they can call home and others staying away from the place of fellowship they call home.
It would seem, with what has been transpiring over the past three years in our world that more Christians, and non-Christians, would desire to either stay locked in to a place of fellowship or find a place of fellowship they can stay locked into. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.
When in conversation with these individuals the same themes seemed to come up. They weren’t staying away from church because of the Worship or because of the Word but because everything else seemed to be out of order and out of God’s character, including a lack of God’s Love. The church, to them, was slowly looking more like the world with its props, entertainment and falsehood. They shared that we, the church, seem more concerned with advancing our lifestyle rather than our relationship with God. Makes sense, when a person is hurting, possibly contemplating suicide they aren’t desiring to hear how God is going to bless them with a car or a home. Furthermore, if they come in contact with the wrong representation of God, well, we could lose a soul.
My concern is that if Christians, who have a true relationship with God, are feeling this way, then what are those with no relationship with God feeling? While we are yet to be a fragrance it seems we are becoming more of an odor. We seem to have strayed from why we do what we do and to whom we are to be doing it to. The Word says that if God is lifted up, not people, that He (God Himself) will draw all men unto Him. If we are repelling people then we need to question whom we are lifting up and where our focus is? God so loved the WORLD that He gave His only son. Why then do we stick up our nose and feed into the concept that God doesn’t love the prostitute, the addict or the homosexual and only loves the perfect holy-roller? Has the church lost its focus or is that the church has become so hurt and wounded it can no longer bring forth the healing so many are seeking after?
It’s time more than ever to get back to the foundation, open up and let people in. Time to stop pointing blame, especially within the church, because, truth is, those under leadership have just as much to do with it. In God’s Generals it states that one can lead a move of God, but the people also have a part to play, and that if a move of God fades, then it is partly because the people never continued in what they received. (Selah)
I attend church and I have served in church so I’ve seen from both the inside and the outside and I can relate to both, if not all sides. I’ve witnessed what they are talking about and sometimes have agreed with what they are talking about. I’ve been there, where the place, which should have brought healing, encouragement and edification to my Spirit, was bringing hurt and offense. I too felt like, “Why should I attend when I can get this kind of treatment outside from people who don’t know any better? ” People tend to forget their actions have a voice and too often forget that because God IS in us that whatever they do to us they are in fact doing to Him. We forget that sowing seeds of strife and discord have a direct effect not just on us but the church as a whole.
Most recently the Lord reminded me that hurting people hurt people. Doesn’t matter what position or title they hold. It’s a fact. At some point, our flesh is going to come out and it will want to react. At some point our flesh will make a decision that doesn’t line up with His Spirit. I’ve seen it, I’ve been there, I’ve reacted at times and I can personally relate to the side of serving in a church and all that comes with it. It isn’t always easy. The pressures and sometimes stress, feeling like you always have to be “on” when at times the reality is you just want to turn the switch “off”, being spread out to thin or placed in positions there is no grace for because of need, and of course, having to show up and smile when inside your dying and outside you are dealing with a situation that no one knows anything about because no one takes the time to ask how you are because in these positions others will separate you from your function and begin to see your function more than your person.
We must realize that when we come in contact with these people or situations, whether we are on the offending side or the offense side that we are not God, we are people, human beings going through a journey we have never been on before, learning and figuring it out along the way, making mistakes yet pressing in, attempting to follow and execute directives, some of us without the grace or the Anointing to do so, and at the same time dealing with our personal lives and getting acquainted not only with God but with ourselves, the real us, and our Anointing, and it can be a lot. We must remind ourselves that every answer we need in His Word. If something appears out of order, then pray. If something appears to need change then change it. Be the solution and not the problem. If someone offends, forgive. If you offend, ask for forgiveness. Time to refocus, shut up and march.
We must remember that we are in partnership with God. He has trusted us to be His example on Earth. Whatever drew you to God allow that quality to be in you so you can draw others. Look to Him as your example. He didn’t shun away those with a past, or a situation, He embraced them. And I mean genuinely. Not because He needed or wanted something, but simply because He desired to be pleasing to the One who gives you life and continues to give you life. We must remember the Great Commission. Why we are here? We are to be fisher of men, not cars and houses. This is about people’s souls, people who are precious to God. Reality is, when in your assignment, that other stuff will come. Even more of a reality, it will come not just for you but also for others. We must remember the greatest commandment and choose to Love. We must be the Place of Grace, where whoever can be healed of whatever. We must remember how God has dealt with us so that we can deal with others the same, without judgment and with compassion. And we must remember we are not God, we are humans. It’s OK, especially for those who serve to take a break. It’s OK to make mistakes along the way, as long as you fix them. It’s OK to not be perfect, as long as you remain available.
To you, who know where you belong but have been hurt, disappointed or offended in some way, take your focus off of people, off the building and off situations and keep your focus on God. STAY in the place HE sets you. Don’t allow anyone, including self, to move you. Stay in communion with Him. Stay consecrated to Him. Stay in obedience to Him. He’s got this.
To you, who have doubts of belonging to a place of fellowship, I get it. But don’t allow us, and our mistakes to dictate who God is and who God can be to you. Come as you are and experience Him for yourself.
It would seem, with what has been transpiring over the past three years in our world that more Christians, and non-Christians, would desire to either stay locked in to a place of fellowship or find a place of fellowship they can stay locked into. But that doesn’t seem to be the case.

To you, who have doubts of belonging to a place of fellowship, I get it. But don’t allow us, and our mistakes to dictate who God is and who God can be to you. Come as you are and experience Him for yourself.
