BREAKING FREE FROM PAST CARNAL CHOICES

Romans 12 :1-2 says everything we really need to know about being obedient to the will of God knowing His heart & mind for our lives . Let me highlight to you Romans 12 :2 "Do not be conformed to this world ,this age ,fashioned after and adapted to its external , superficial customs. But be transformed changed by the entire renewal of your mind , by its new ideals & its new attitudes, so that you may prove for yourselves what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even that which is good , acceptable and perfect in His sight. " (Amplified) Some more points on how to break free and be released to hear & obey the voice of God's Holy Spirit.
1. Break free from the bondage of self-pity, self -loathing, low self esteem and pessimistic thought patterns. All of these emotions create blockages to hearing the voice of Jesus.
2. Cut though these thoughts with the blood of Jesus , be willing to cut out the root of these demotivating , paralysing mind sets. Bring every thought captive & make it obedient to Christ.
3.Pray Psalm 51 every day , I pray this prayer numerous times a day "Create in me a Clean heart o God......v.11 "CAST ME NOT AWAY FROM YOUR PRESENCE, TAKE NOT YOUR HOLY SPIRIT FROM ME. V12 RESTORE TO ME THE JOY OF YOUR SALVATION , AND UPHOLD ME WITH A WILLING SPIRIT."
4. Simply I say this in love , we all need to just get over ourselves and see Jesus and love Him more than life itself.
5. He is speaking ,we are called to listen and then obey.
Today I conclude with John 10 :3 "...my sheep know my voice they listen to it and heed it, He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out. v5 They will never on any account follow a stranger they do not recognise a strangers call ."
Grace & peace multiplied to you all as you live for Jesus and Him alone !!!
