Freewill: The power of directing our own actions without restraint by necessity or fate.
My child, your freewill is not revokable or returnable. The enemy knows this. This is why he must get you to agree with him. Adam agreed with the dark one when he ate the fruit knowingly. Eve, however, was deceived, but Adam knew what he was doing. He chose with his freewill to agree with the dark one and disobeyed My commands.
My Begotten Son was tempted too. But there was a different outcome. My Son chose to believe My Word instead of the lies of the dark one. Every time the tempter offered Him something, He chose the eternal Truth of My Word over the temporal offerings of the fallen one. He freely chose Me and would not bow to the dark one.
Freewill sets mankind apart. Made in My image, I gave man the right to choose. Even a person locked in a natural prison has freewill to choose. The choice is whether to be free in the Spirit or allow the tormentor to own his soul. This is what the enemy is after—the souls of men. He knows how precious the souls of men are to Me. He hates all humans because I created them in My image and called them My children.
The dark one tried in Noah’s day to pollute the seed of man and destroy any hope of their redemption that I prophesied at the fall. He is trying again, but he will fail again. You see when the enemy pollutes the seed, then what is produced is no longer human and freewill is not give to any but to true humans as I created them.
Read My Word and you will see how I asked Israel on several occasions to choose who they would follow. It comes down to a choice: a freewill choice, not manipulated, not of necessity, or fate.
My Begotten Son filled His soul and body with My Word—the Words of Life and Truth. He chose to believe My Word over the condition of His natural body and the other temptations presented to Him. He is your example. This is how you overcome all of the wiles of the enemy and his minions.
It is much easier to resist the enemy if you fill your soul and body with the Words of Life. Then even the very cells of your natural body will cry out the Living Word that is implanted in them. The Word is a seed filled with Kingdom power. I counsel you to choose LIFE. Choose the Truth of My Word over the lying symptoms that raise themselves up in opposition to My Word. Make a freewill choice when the tormentor attacks your mind trying to get you to agree to hopelessness, fear, doubt, and unbelief. Then see how your mind and body respond as Resurrection Life surges through your body, soul, and spirit. Make a freewill choice to trust Me with all that concerns you.
When the enemy comes against you, Remember, you are a lion clothed in sheep’s wool. When the wolf attacks, throw off the wool and bare your teeth to him. The wolf will flee in terror.
Be Brave! Choose wisely! I AM here with you. Trust Me! Receive My blessings this day. Shalom.
I call heaven and earth as witnesses today against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you and your descendants may live
And if it seems evil to you to serve the Lord, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
