WE HAVE FREE WILL!

WE HAVE FREE WILL!


Jesus says EVERYONE
Who commits a sin=is
A SLAVE to sin


Which MEANS everyone of us
Is a slave TO SIN


Jesus answered them=”Amen=amen
I say to you=EVERYONE
Who commits a sin
IS a slave to sin” John 8:34


We have FREE WILL=we can
CHOOSE to sin=in big or small ways=
UNFORTUNATELY=none of us
Get it right=100% of the time


Here in America
We confuse freedom for INDIVIDUALISM


As long as we DON'T HURT
Anyone else=we think we
SHOUD be FREE
To do as we PLEASE


We can also be SLAVES
To pleasure= to compulsion=
And to HEDONISM


WE can ONLY BE FREE=
If we are CHOOSING GOD=
Choosing God OVER everything else
With our FREE WILL


We have free will and what
A BEAUTFUL GOD we have=to give
us that


To have the ABILITY to CHOOSE
To LIVE our lives
Anyway that we want


God HOPES that we choose to
USE our free will to live
As God WANTS us to live=
TO LIVE LIKE JESUS


“I DESIRE to do
Your WILL=my God


Your law=is
WITHIN MY HEART” Psalm 40:8


“Your kingdom come
Your will be done
On earth
As it is in HEAVEN” Matthew 6:10


“Do NOT
Conform to the pattern
Of this world


But be TRANSFORMED
By the
RENEWING of your mind


Then you will be able
To test=
And approve
What GOD'S WILL is


His good pleasing-
And perfect will” Romans 12:2


What a wonderful
GIFT OF FREEDOM that we have


That God TRUSTS US to
CHOOSE what we want


I TRY to aline my life=
My thoughts with God's=but I ALWAYS
Keep God #1 in my heart=and
HOPEFULLY in my actions


With freedom comes RESPONSIBILITY
And I thank you LORD for the freedom
I have to choose HOW
I live my life


“I will walk about
In FREEDOM


For I have
Sought out your precepts” Psalm 119:45


“Now the Lord is the SPIRIT
And WHERE
The Spirit of the LORD is
There is FREEDOM” 2 Corinthians 3:17


Dear Lord=we THANK YOU for
Our free will


Help us to ALWAYS
TURN AWAY from sin
So that we are NOT SLAVES


And to TURN to you
In YOUR LOVE=ALWAYS


In the names of Jesus and HIS
GLORIOUS-ALMIGHTY FATHER
