“... life and death I offered you, blessing and curse. Choose life, so that you and your offspring may live ... ”[Deuteronomy 30:19]

Many people today are in dire circumstances and often they blame someone or someone else. But for the most part, they find themselves in unpleasant situations due to the wrong choice.

"... he who sows to his flesh (dirty desires, feelings) from the flesh will reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit from the Spirit will reap eternal life." [Galatians 6: 8]

For example, if I choose wisely, I will reap the benefits of wisdom. But if I act unreasonably, I will reap the results of my own unreasonableness.

"The folly of a man perverts his way (destroys his work), but his heart is indignant at the Lord." [Proverbs 19: 3] Man's folly and foolishness destroy his own life.
Make your choice very carefully.

The consequences of a wrong choice can only be overcome by making the right choice. We have the freedom to think and do, the freedom to choose the environment of people and many other things. Agree - this is an incredible privilege. But with every privilege comes responsibility.

Recognizing and appreciating this right, we must make our own choices. We must be very careful not to make decisions based simply on our feelings or far-fetched desires. We also need to be extremely careful when listening to other people's advice.

People very often try to control or manipulate us, leading us to the wrong decision. Because of our indecision, timidity and insecurity, we fall under the influence and control of other people. Fear can keep us from resolutely confronting a situation that will undo the problem.

I know from personal experience that control and manipulation is a mortal danger to your spirit, mind, emotions in every area of your life. If you want to choose life, you MUST decide to confront those people who are trying to bind you with their control. You also need to be very careful not to be tempted to control others.

Never be too concerned about what others think of you. Colossians 3: 2 tells us to serve God with simplicity of heart, not as pleasing to people, but as pleasing to God. It's time to break out of the tyranny of what people think of us. We must learn to ignore people's gossip, criticism, controlling forces and start making our own decisions based on God's will for our lives. "... must obey God rather than men." [Acts 5:29] We must desire God's will more than popularity among the people.

We can greatly benefit from accepting and applying the counsel offered to us by the Bible and the Holy Spirit. Good advice can be given by godly Christian leaders or friends, but at the same time, coordinate every question and decision with God and seek His help in making decisions. When God gives complete peace and quiet to your heart about the decision you want to make, then be bold and do what He told you to do.

We also need to be careful with those who appear in our life at the very moment of the decision and try to impose their choice on us. When David came up against Goliath with several stones and a sling, everyone around him laughed at him and told him that it was just stupid. But David had a decision from God and he was completely calm and confident in his decision, boldly proclaiming what he was going to do with Goliath. “Now the Lord will deliver you into my hand, and I will kill you, and take off your head, and give [your corpse and] the corpses of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and the whole earth will know that there is God in Israel; .. . "

Then David went and destroyed this giant by the power of God. You can also decide on this when you get the confidence that God agrees with your choice and, regardless of the ridicule and disbelief of others, go out and overthrow the giant.

Choose boldness instead of fear.

Some people are so afraid of falling that they decided not to do anything at all ... and as a result, they drag out their miserable existence, not having the strength to live. Usually they say literally the following: “But I'm afraid! And I can’t do anything about it. ” The point is, the truth is actually: "You can do something to change your life." Fear is an evil unclean spirit that generates hostile feelings in a person. Relying on these feelings is not a good option. Feeling a certain fear does not mean at all that you cannot do what you are afraid to do. You will have to learn how to do some things, although this will haunt you with a feeling of fear. The only way to defeat fear is to confront it. As long as you are afraid, fear is the master of your life and takes advantage of the best in it.

Jesus died so that we would never again be afraid and flee from the difficult circumstances of life. The Epistle to Ephesians in chapter 6 speaks of the armor that God gives us so that we can resist and repel all the fiery arrows of the enemy. But notice that it says nothing about the weapons that would cover our rear. This means that God never provided for us to retreat or flee from the enemy. So, dare to be brave!

I am sure that if you are approaching something new in your life, you will definitely hear God say to you: “Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid, because if you are afraid, Satan can steal your destiny. " It is not unusual for us to have a sense of fear, but we should never let it take over us. There is a huge difference between feeling fear or following it. We all feel fear in certain situations of our life, but we should not live in it.

Fear is a strong spirit and the main weapon of evil. But he is not from God ... "God did not give us the spirit of fear (cowardice, cowardice, servility, fearful sucking up), but [He gave us the spirit of] strength and love and chastity (calm, well-balanced mind, discipline and self-control)." If you speak out of inner faith, and not out of fear, you will surely come to a breakthrough, to victory in your life situation.

Calculate the costs.

The fifth chapter of Kings 4 tells us about Gehazi's greed and how his love of money became the reason for the wrong choices that brought defeat not only in his life, but also in the generations after him. This remains true in our times. The decisions we make affect not only our lives, but also the lives of our children. Many have lost their families because of the love of gain, money and materialism. But real satisfaction or happiness in life does not come from the amount of acquired and accumulated material values. True happiness comes in true fellowship ... with God and your family. And that requires making good, right decisions and refusing to be involved in the system of this unbridled world.

First Timothy 6: 7 says this: “We brought nothing into the world; it is clear that we can’t take anything out of it. ” There is a revelation here: everything material that you have accumulated here on earth will remain here when your time comes to leave. You can't take all this with you. There is nothing wrong with having and using material resources and blessing other people with them; but DO NOT get attached to material things!

The Gospel of Mark 10 chapter tells us about a very rich man who approached Jesus and asked how it is possible to inherit eternal life. When Jesus told him to sell everything he had and distribute the proceeds to the poor, ... “He, embarrassed by this word, walked away with sorrow, because he had a BIG property.” (Verse 22) Just like this person you may be looking for a deeper fellowship with God, but when God starts talking to you about material things, you do not want to obey.

To rise to a higher level, you simply need to leave the lower values. Colossians 3: 1,2 says: “So if you have been raised with Christ (to a new life), then seek the highest (precious eternal wealth), where Christ sits at the right hand of God; meditate on the above, and not on the earthly. " I had to learn to focus my mind and keep it focused on higher values, and not let it get carried away by the lower things that surround us throughout this world. I have found that the highest is the best. Pay attention to what is said and choose the right things.

Some people want a change in their lives without changing the lifestyle itself. Christianity is a lifestyle, and it begins with a commitment to Christ. Then, as we grow in knowledge of the truth and God's Word, we can resist Satan's lies and unrighteousness. It is so necessary for us to pray for a very sensitive conscience so that we have godly standards in our lives. Christianity should become a way of life!

Choose faith instead of fear.

Is it possible not to have fear? Let's look at Isaiah 43: 5: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you; ...” If you are not sure that He is with you, then you need to pray with this Word until it becomes a reality in your life. God is with us and He will guide us through all the most difficult and dangerous situations in life. The Bible teaches us not to rely on the flesh, but to place all our trust in Christ. We are anointed with the Holy Spirit and God has promised to lead and govern us, and this is so pleasant and gives the greatest pleasure and satisfaction. Be very brave in new, unknown situations, do not be afraid to challenge the future. Do not be afraid! Almighty God lives in you!

Isaiah 30:21 says, “and your ears will hear the word saying behind you, 'this is the way, walk along it' if you had turned to the right and if you had turned to the left.” We really need to learn to hear God and be sensitive to Him.

Isaiah 45: 2: “I will go before you and level the mountains, I will break the copper doors and I will break the iron locks; ...” Satan opens a deceptive path for us, but God wants us to trust Him and His promises, because this is the kind of trust that will serve fulfilling God's promises in our lives. As long as we speak out of fear, doubt, and unbelief, we resist God's help He wants to give us.

Sometimes God brings us into difficult situations, and we ask: “for what?”. But it is in such places and situations that we grow spiritually and exercise our faith. God will not always keep us in comfortable places in life, but He will ALWAYS be with us to help us and deliver us.

Don't let fear stop you. You can choose boldness! Set your mind on the fact that you will constantly trust God and do not let fear rule you.

Decide to follow wisdom.

“Appreciate her highly and she will exalt you; she will glorify you if you cling to her; ... I show you the path of wisdom, I lead you along straight paths. When you go, your course will not be hampered, and when you run, you will not stumble. " [Proverbs 4: 8,11-12]

Wisdom is a deep knowledge and understanding of the ways and purposes of God. If you are wise, your path will be clear and open before you. You will not be in constant confusion not knowing what to do. The Scriptures tell us that Christ has become to us wisdom from God. If Christ Jesus lives within you, then His wisdom is constantly available to you and you can use it. At critical moments in your life, wisdom rises in your full height and cries out: “Hear me. Don't do or say what your feelings push you to do. Follow God and His Word. ”

Maybe in your life you have made a lot of wrong decisions. Do not grieve or mourn for them. The time has come to choose wisdom and live a victorious life. Living a victorious life does not mean at all that you will live without problems. This means that when problems come, you will be able to overcome them by making the right and wise decision.

How many people today strive to be who they are not, to be like someone, to have what others have. But God will never help you to become someone else. He wants you to find yourself and become what God created you. You are who you are. And you need to work on what you have.

It all starts with ourselves. Jesus said: “For the whole law is contained in one word: Love your neighbor as yourself” (Galatians 5:14).

If we are hard on ourselves, we will be hard on others. If we are constantly dull, then we will be annoyed by joyful people. If we do not love ourselves, we cannot love others. And if there is no love in us, then everything we do is missed. We will always give what we ourselves are filled with. Jesus calmed the storm because he himself was filled with peace. He showed love for people by healing, freeing, resurrecting and forgiving sins, because this love was in Him.

And even when He was betrayed, He did not prove that He was right, because He knew who He was, where He came from and where He was going. We need to stop proving to people that we are right, even if we are right. Instead, we should establish ourselves in who we are in God and trust Him.

“Shy away from evil and do good; seek peace and strive for it ”(1 Peter 3:11). To accept ourselves and others, we need to have peace:

with God;
with people;
with myself.

It is not enough just to wish for peace. We must strive for it with all that we have!

All problems are not because of other people, but because of our attitude towards them. How we treat them determines whether we will suffer or not. The Israelis wouldn't have to spend 40 years on the 11-day itinerary if they changed their minds. And many of us have been walking around the same mountain in the desert for many years at a time when we could live in the promised land.

God once said to Joyce: You cannot be both strong and miserable; you can't stand in the pulpit for an hour and be a woman of God, and then come home and feel sorry for yourself, accusing your husband of watching football.

But we will never notice that the hairstyle has gone bad until we look in the mirror. Likewise, we will not notice that something is wrong with us until we begin to study God's Word.

Joyce Meyer is one of those women who has learned to accept herself and love those around her. Her sermon reveals many more simple and at the same time deep truths that will help us accept ourselves, love others, learn to rejoice and finally feel happy, whoever you are!

Do any of you know the feeling of dissatisfaction? You know, we get frustrated when we try to do something we can't do. This happens when we want to get rid of something, but we cannot do it. Or, when we really want to have something, but we cannot get even one step closer to what we want. We get upset when we know that God could easily do something for us, but does not. - it sometimes drives us crazy. When we have to wait, wait, wait, then all desire disappears.

I thought it was the devil that upsets me all the time until I found one scripture. 1 Peter 5 says that God Himself resists and opposes us when we try to do something on our own, as this speaks of our pride and arrogance. We do not humble ourselves and do not ask God for help. I was upset for many years while trying to change myself, because I did it on my own, and did not ask God to help me change. Also unsuccessfully and for many years tried to change her husband.

Are there women here who have tried to change their husband? And the men who tried to change their wife? Are there those who tried to change their children, or make some of their friends behave differently, or tried to change something else? Has anyone tried to nurture their ministry? You understand that you are called to the ministry, you understand that it must grow, you want it to develop, but it does not grow in any way, and this seriously upsets you. For example, when we deserve a promotion but don't get it.

Understand that there will always be something in life that can get upset. Something else may upset you, some little things in everyday life. Sometimes I caught myself thinking: it annoys me, it upsets me. But, Jesus did not die to make us angry and upset. He died so that we might have peace that surpasses understanding and inexpressible joy. I belong to the category of people who, if they do not get what they are entitled to, do not just leave it. They begin to think: so, if I do not have what I rightfully deserve, then why? Then I start looking for possible reasons, the root of the problem, because I want to enjoy the good fruits that God has intended for me.

For several years, God has been explaining to me what grace is. I will say that we hear about grace quite often, especially in connection with salvation, but God wants us to use grace for more than just salvation. He wants us to learn to live by grace. I believe that God gives us grace, depending on our position. Yesterday I said that you can do the will of God, whatever it may be, but you cannot do it, relying only on yourself, thanks to a good education, your natural intelligence or wonderful character. You can accomplish it by trusting in God. When you, like a person who has no visible possibilities, say: God, I really need You, I cannot do this without You, I need Your help.

It’s good if we stopped making excuses: it’s too difficult. We cannot even imagine how much we are missing in our life when we assure ourselves that it is too difficult and that we cannot do it. Look, I love you very much, which is why I came here. Otherwise, I would be sitting in a rocking chair, holding my grandchildren in my arms. I am here because I know how the devil can harm people who do not know the truth. I have gone through a lot in my life and I believe that God has given me a very practical gift. Maybe I don't know how to speak too spiritually, using florid concepts, but for that, I can explain to you God's truths so that when you come home, you can immediately apply my words, apply them in your daily life.

I will tell you: no matter what the Bible tells you to do, whatever commandments you meet there, whether you need to forgive someone, give something or show patience, or something else - whatever the Word suggests to you, you can do it.

Let's turn to Philippians 4:13 - "I Can Do Anything." We should not use this place only when we want to have world service. Yes, I can, I will walk on water, I will be a man or a woman of faith. No, use it when you have to be in the same room with the person you want to see last, when you think: oh, Lord, why is this person here? It too! If I had only known that this person would come here, I would not have stayed here. Although you know that I have forgiven him. I, as expected, prayed, forgave and told him that I love him with the love of Christ.

I'm so tired of it all. I'm so sick of it. Yes, sister, I love you with the love of God, but at the same time you gossip about her, you avoid her, ignore her. And when you hear that God blessed her in something, you are tormented, you can hardly remain calm when you hear that someone is saying good things about the person who offended you. You can hardly help but say: you just do not know what I know. But, of course, you understand that I said this only for you to pray. Of course, only for prayer.

Here's what I will say: for example, you come to visit and do not know that this person will also be there. This is the situation! You had better step over your precious self and say to yourself, “God, I will do this, and I will do this for You. I don't want to fall into the devil's hook and suffer all my life. I don’t want to be upset and angry at what I cannot change ”. Why should you suffer while the person who offended you is having fun and does not even know about your feelings. In doing so, you are simply dancing to the tune of the devil.
