Today, I want us to look into the God-given right to choose our own destiny. God will not impose or in any way force Himself on anyone. The devil does. God does not. That’s what is unique about man. God has given every man a free will to choose.
When Jesus spoke in Mark 11:14, “No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever,” He turned and walked away. That first step put the tree behind Him. So, that step was the step of faith. Every step after that was walking in faith.
I’ve been hearing in my spirit for some time now, ”Step over the line of faith.” What does that mean? It means I have faith in God, and this situation is now behind me.
Have you ever seen such a mess? Everywhere you look, people are doing one dumb thing after another. The word for it is confusion. Everyone has a different idea, and none of them work.
The panic button is being pushed everywhere you look.... Fear of what’s coming. What’s happening? What’s going to happen to me, my job, my business, my family? What am I going to do? HAVE FAITH IN GOD! Jesus did not say, “Try to have faith in God.” He said, “HAVE FAITH IN GOD”!
What do we do now? The same as we always do: HAVE FAITH IN GOD! This is no time to start looking somewhere else for answers. Jesus is still THE answer. He hasn’t changed. He hasn’t left. He hasn’t quit, and He never will.
It is time to restudy, rethink and recommit ourselves to THE God who paid the price to make this freedom available to all men. It is not His will for any man to live in hell—not here on earth, and not in the hereafter.
There has never, ever been a time when we need Jesus more than now. Men, trying to do things without Him, have created this monster of a mess all around us.
Actually, when you think about it, there haven’t been any good times since sin and death came into the world. So, does that mean we just have to put up with hard and troubled times until we die and go to heaven? No! Absolutely not.
It’s almost like watching something in a cage trying desperately to escape. I’m talking about people trying to rebuild their houses after the sandy foundation has washed out from under them.
