Was that ‘really’ your choice?

Moving on in this series of finding the real you, we have looked at who we really are, encompassing body, spirit and soul in the image of our maker, God. We have also looked at the heart as a source of mindful decision making.

We will now look at the build up of your senses, wants, mind, heart desires, decisions and finally your choices. We thank God for free will given to us, but what educates that free will is the question?

You are not just the choices you make. Through life you have picked a habit or two and the reason these things become your habit and therefore the source of your choice and behaviour is because of what you EXPOSE YOURSELF to, but THANK GOD WE HAVE A CHOICE.

Romans 12v1 says “I APPEAL to you therefore, brethren, and beg of you in view of [all] the mercies of God, to make a decisive dedication of your bodies [presenting all your members and faculties] as a living sacrifice, holy (devoted, consecrated) and well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable (rational, intelligent) service and spiritual worship.)” Amplified Version

As beings on this earth, our soul (the true us that goes back to God after death) easily picks up things because it feels senses via the body. So you will find that, a member of your body such as the eyes sees something that satisfies the body (flesh), though it may push the spirit of God in us further away from us and destroy the chance of the soul making heaven, we still choose it irrespective.

In most of us today, we have lost the control of our choices due to the lack of control of certain members of our existence (body). This is due to our worldly ways before a rebirth by the spirit. The problem is, once the world helps control what you choose or what you spend time with, then the battle for your choices were already made for you before you get a chance to even make the choice.

It then becomes important to look at what informs your heart, mind and eventually choices hence the question? did YOU really make that choice? Was that YOUR decision? What and who exactly formed that choice in you? Is it a verifiable choice by God in His word?

Complicated? Watch out for the next series to explain more into the best trick played on you yet, and be prepared to take back control.
