I chose to write this for the New Year....
God is complete Sovereign. He has put in each of us a
magnificent apparatus. We call it the Soul. The Soul is made up of a volitional part
called the will, a thinking part, which is the mind and the feeling part, which
is the emotions.
Volitional: The ability to make conscious choices or decisions... or the act of exercising the will.
Now when we exercise the will we are buying stock in the sovereignty
of God! Which is The sovereignty of God.
This may seem strange to you, but God has assigned you a
destiny. Over which, by enlarge, so that He can interrupt it at anytime. You are
sovereign. You can make choices...to either except or reject!
You can rule it; you can make decisions, pleasing to Him
(GOD). You can cast demons off that area in your life, in the name of Jesus. You can call
excellence into existence. You can make demands of your soul. Your Spirit man can make
demands of your Soul.
His (God)Spirit in your Spirit, controlling the soul, which uses
the body as the servant will make you a person of excellence.
Make no mistake; what the world calls excellent is a way of achieving certain goals. Monetary or Power goals. But that’s
the World’s definition of excellence.
God’ form of excellence comes from the proper combination of
word, what God has said; And Spirit, who God is, operating in His Word and
through it today in us; and the power that comes forth.
We are not excellent until we take advantage of all the
gifts that have been offered to us by the Power of the Holy Spirit.
Excellence is not you doing the best you can. Excellence is
letting Him (God) do the best He can in your daily regular cooperation with
Him.
Lets examine this statement:
In the midst of prospective suffering Jesus possessed His Soul (will).
“In patience posses your Souls”… In other words, with stubborn
decisiveness get a hold of yourself. Control your soul. Don’t let your Soul
stay in a passive state. Take charge of it!!!... Read 1st Thessalonians 4:1-4
Stop saying “ This is just the way that I am. Except me or
reject me. I’m not going to change. Words are very powerful. Listen, if the way
you are keeps you away from God's best, then your life is out of order! So, get rid
of it. Give it up. And, if you are saved you are a new creature.
In stubborn endurance get a hole of yourself! Endurance
means to Stand.
Every now and again you need to confront your soul (will). How long
has it been since you have confronted your soul? Read Psalms – 42:5; 142:1-7; 119:175;
19:7;16:10; 23:3.
You need to confront your soul to see if there is anything
lurking that is displeasing to God. Self evaluation is very important in this
walk.
We carry so much junk around and this junk gets very
weighty. It accumulates. This accumulation breathes forth frustration,
expressive dislikes, visual Attitudes, ETC.
Take self inventory of your Soul. Read Psalm 103 and see how David was coaching his Soul to the
right thing!
What do you do when you began to get jealous, angry, when
that fire begins to boil inside because you feel someone has wronged you? What
do you do?
Take inventory of your soul and clean up all the dirtiness
that lurks around it. This includes suggestive thoughts.
Take command.. Stop letting your Soul dictate to you. You
dictate to it.
Listen, the Heaven of Heavens belong to God, but the earth
is given to the sons of men.
There is a sense that we call the shots. God has given
us authority to do so. Just know when!
Remember you are what you are because of how you and your
soul (will) have interfaced. So, interface with your soul (will) in a positive
way for God the Holy Spirit to be effective in your life.
Command you Soul (will) to bless the Lord no matter what is
going on around you. Say “ Bless The Lord, Oh My Soul and all that is within me
Bless His Holy Name!
Take control of your Soul (will) by yielding it to God!
Purpose in your hearts when you attend Church that You do
not intend to go home in the same condition upon which I came. Say to yourself - I intend to do
what it takes to be changed from what I now am to the next level. I understand that it may take hardship, ; lost, betrayal and
pain. But I desire to be changed!
These are my thoughts .. I welcome yours!!!
