The Power Of Recovery

Think about the heaviest weight upon you, or the biggest yoke thats around your neck. Most of the things that we've have had come into our lives have been self inflicted. I realize its a big statement, but its permiated with truth. Our decisions determine destinies. Life is about producing good, not feeling good. Whatever has been going on in your life can change right here at this very moment. There was a message titled Want a change? Make a change. How awesome is that! Our consequecnes are often the byproduct of choice. Everyday there is set before us choices. The bible says in Deut 30:19 I have set before you life & death, blessing & cursing, CHOOSE LIFE. As I type out this blog, please realize that Iam speaking to the choir. The God news is that we can recover and be a very new species of being. Many times that verse in 2 Cor 5:17 If any man be in Christ they are a new creature, old things are passed away behold all things become new is often used only and primarily in referring to the new birth. However it can also happen to us even after we've been shipwrecked by stinking thinking leading to stupid choices. 2 Timothy gives us some golden nuggets pertaining to it. God will grant us repentence to the ACKNOWLEDGING OF THE TRUTH. We must simply admit, iam out of faith, i've yeilded to fear, Iam allowing doubt to create double-mindedness, its my temper thats been as a continuous dripping of a faucet, I've entertained imaginations that ought to have been cast down. Once we have went through the acknowledging, the verse goes onto say that were able to recover ourselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by his will. My friend I know the reality of this! I have been the prince of darkness little pet Pinnocio! However there is freedom, and cleansing. The book of First John was written to those that were already born again. We are able to be made new again, formed & fashioned to the person were purposed to be!
