- Only 2 things determine your destiny: Your choices and your response to God.
- The word of God is full of choices and each day we face a choice.
- We can choose to follow the world and be accepted or choose God and His way of living.
- Last week I started with an goal of a 21 day fast.
- This fast is simply making God 1st.
- It's making God most important at the beginning of the year.
- It's choosing to follow God with ALL of our life.
- It also means choosing to remove anything in our life that is preventing that.
- In Romans 12:9 Paul tells believers, "Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good."
- In Job 1:1 he is described as a man who "was blameless—a man of complete integrity. He feared God and stayed away from evil."
- The choices that you make today set the course for your life.
- Whenever you make a choice against one thing, you make a choice for something else.
- When you make up your mind to hate evil, you make a choice to hold tightly to what is good.
- Choosing to do right is not always easy but God grace is sufficient enough to see you through it.
- By choosing to fast something that is 1st in your life ( whether it is food, texting, t.v., movies, Internet, gossip, complaining, cursing, etc.) you are saying "no" to it.
- Whenever you say "no" to one thing, it gives you the opportunity to say "Yes" to God.
- I encourage you to join in on this 21 day challenge.
- If you have a problem or addiction or sin you are trying to overcome...
- One of the best ways to overcome it is to determine in your heart that you will fast that habit and replace it with God.
- Simply remove it or Abstain from it for 21 Days or even a week.
- Pursue Jesus and say "Yes" to Him.
- Develop a habit...A Godly Habit.
- Choose Jesus 1st today!
- Make Him the center of your Life!
- Have a great Monday!
