Tides come in and tides go out. Seasons come and seasons go. There is change that is taking place each and every day. It is up to you how it affects you and your walk with Me. It is up to you whether you will be taken out or be built up. It is up to you if you are going to stand strong or be knocked over. It is choices that you make that makes or breaks you.

You can choose to stay on the path that I have set before you or to choose another path that is in view. You can decide to give into your flesh and allow the enemy to walk along the path with you and bring destruction, chaos, and deception into your life. Or you can choose to continue to walk down the path that I have set before you, walking with Me and hand in hand with My Holy Spirit and be fully aware that the enemy is prowling and be fully alert to his every evil scheme that he is trying to bring your way. When you see that it is a choice that you make, it will become easier and easier for you to make the correct choice each and every day.

I have provided protection that you can choose to use every day to protect yourself with. I have given you authority in the name of My Son to keep yourself free of the demonic forces that would try to trap and bind you into prison. I have given many tools of warfare to use to fight on all sides and in every way the enemy or flesh would come to steer you any way other than My way, but you have to choose to use them and use them correctly.

I have given you many things that you can use such as the assistance of My Heavenly Hosts, intercessory prayer, seeing and walking in the Spirit realm, to eat of My Word and all the truth is contains, and so much more. What are you doing in your choices to use it? And are you seeking Me on how to use it correctly or are you still making your choices based on your own understanding and will or are you choosing to do it with Mine?

I really want you to seek yourself and allow the truth to come forth so that you can see what is really going on. I want you to see the choices you are making daily and how they are really affecting each and every person in your life, including yourself.

Are you choosing to love no matter what or are you choosing to only love if you feel love? Are you choosing to forgive or are you choosing to hold a grudge or offense to what you want to choose to see with fleshly eyes and not spiritual ones? You need to really look on what strength are you making these decisions. Are you doing it in your own strength or in the strength that I have provided for you?

The depth of this, yes is intense but it is necessary for you to see the truth so that you can choose to step into the next level that I have for you and to choose to walk in the peace and protection that I have for My children that are choosing to stay close to Me and to keep their focus on Me no matter what comes their way.

I have not left you alone to do this by yourself. I have given you and provided to you everything that you would ever need to do this with assistance and guidance. But it is up to you to make the choice to use it and to learn to gain a relationship with My Holy Spirit or to allow the deception of doing it on your own to take place.

How you respond to each thing that comes your way truly is your choice. You can either trust Me and turn to Me in all things or you can decide to be picky and choosy and see where that leads you. But know I am right here waiting and willing to help you enjoy the life I have given you. All you have to do is choose to use what I have for you and to do it with Me and not against Me. I am for you My children this is a guarantee, but only if you will choose Me can it come into a place of reality.

Please let go of your own self ways and walk in the choices based on My full complete will for you and you will see the truth and the truth will set your life completely free. Your joy, love, peace, hope, and faith will sprout very quickly as you let go of the control and allow Me to take the wheel. The choice is yours.

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.” (Matthew 7:13-14,NIV)

“Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your fathers, 10 if you obey the LORD your God and keep his commands and decrees that are written in this Book of the Law and turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” (Deuteronomy 30:9-10)

“There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.” (Proverbs 14:12)

“Many are the plans in a man’s heart, but it is the LORD’s purpose that prevails.” (Proverbs 19:21)

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.” (Philippians 4:8)

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” (Galatians 6:7-8)

“My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine. My son, do not despise the LORD’s discipline and do not resent his rebuke, because the LORD disciplines those he loves, as a father the son he delights in. Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who gains understanding, for she is more profitable than silver and yields better returns than gold. She is more precious than rubies; nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are pleasant ways, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who embrace her; those who lay hold of her will be blessed. By wisdom the LORD laid the earth’s foundations, by understanding he set the heavens in place; by his knowledge the deeps were divided, and the clouds let drop the dew. My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight; they will be life for you, an ornament to grace your neck. Then you will go on your way in safety, and your foot will not stumble; when you lie down, you will not be afraid; when you lie down, your sleep will be sweet. Have no fear of sudden disaster or of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the LORD will be your confidence and will keep your foot from being snared. Do not withhold good from those who deserve it, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, “Come back later; I’ll give it tomorrow”– when you now have it with you. Do not plot harm against your neighbor, who lives trustfully near you. Do not accuse a man for no reason– when he has done you no harm. Do not envy a violent man or choose any of his ways, for the LORD detests a perverse man but takes the upright into his confidence. The LORD’s curse is on the house of the wicked, but he blesses the home of the righteous. He mocks proud mockers but gives grace to the humble. The wise inherit honor, but fools he holds up to shame.” (Proverbs 3)
