Choosing a Winning Team.

Luke 11:23, “He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters.”

The Holy Bible continually encourages us to choose a winning team. This encouragement comes to us by way of the Lord’s grace and mercy. In knowing that even though we are imperfect human beings God is still in control, and guiding us by his spirit. We as believers are given this grace on a daily basis, to do what is right and not to submit ourselves unto the god of this world. In grace we are given a choice, which comes to us by living our lives continuously in the Spirit. By living in the spirit we encourage others in the faith, and also in being a light unto those not saved. This voice of positive discernment will open the gates of heaven and allow the Holy Spirit to do the will of God in the Earth. By doing this you choose a side, a side seeking to redeem all of mankind from the clutches of sin and death.

When we choose to work against this frame of thinking we open ourselves up to the other choice. This choice revolves around Satan and choosing our own way with dealing with daily situations. This choice births sin in the form of gossip, pre-marital sex, murder, blasphemy and a host of other acts not in line with God. As human beings, when we decide on making our own choices on how to deal with daily life without our focus on the Lord. We lend ourselves over to the enemy as stated in the Bible, Romans 6:13, And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. The joy of living in the flesh, presents pleasure that satisfies for the moment but does not last eternal.

Satan constantly seeks to lure us away from seeking the Most High for the pleasures of this Earth Age, where he reigns as god. As Believer’s we need to stick to the winning team which focuses on the future and not the present, when sin and death will be done away with. I pray all will choose to focus all their energy of the Holy Spirit and do his will for the Father. Shalom…
