POWER OF CHOICE

Is everybody blessed? Amen!! There are more blessings on the way. I’d say God is trying to do
something, but he needs our cooperation. Do you know what that means? Everybody has a
choice. Do you know you have the power to choose? You have the power to make a choice!
You have the power to change a life—you have the power to change your own life. Just by
making a choice. People have the choice to jump in the river or stay on the side. You have the
opportunity to make a choice to worship the Lord and seek him with all of your heart tonight—if
you missed it, you blew it! Choices are opportunities. Every decision that comes across your
life is a representation of a choice. We take choices for granted. We loose sight that a choice we
make can either affect someone—yourself. It could be a matter of life and death. God is
interested in every choice you make. In fact, every day I pray, Lord take your rightful place in
every decision I have to make today. Every decision. We want every decision we make to be the
right one. If it’s the wrong one, we will reap for every wrong choice we make. So every one of
us has the power of choice.

The bible says that he who sows to the Spirit will reap life. Everlasting life! Praise God. He
who sows to the flesh reaps corruption. That’s a choice! We have the power to choose! You
can choose to sow in the Spirit or miss. If you miss you sow to the flesh! Every time you miss
the Spirit you sow to the flesh and you reap corruption. You can’t just take it for granted
because the devil is looking for an open opportunity. He is looking for every open opportunity
he can get. Because he has come to steal, kill and destroy. Do you know how many people
think, Oh the devil doesn’t have that on me! Foolish flesh creatures! The devil has that on
everyone. His three main purposes—so you don’t have fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The
devil doesn’t want you to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit, which is a choice. He doesn’t
want you to know the truth of the word. You can know the word and not know the truth. And he
wants to be involved in what? Every decision in every day of your life. People don’t realize
that. They just go along in life and don’t even think the devil’s involved. They don’t even
consider the devil. When you don’t consider the devil to be a part of something, you are not in
the Spirit. You are in the flesh. He’s got you blinded. And he’s going to lead you. If he can
cause you to sow in the flesh, he has got access to you—and you tie the hands of God and God
can do nothing for you until you repent. The devil is not stupid. The bible says he is the most
cunning beast God created. He was created with wisdom and beauty.

DEUTERONOMY 30:11-20
The power of choice. From this night forward your decisions and your choices will be different.
No more watered down choices. Carnally watered down. Verse 11, For this commandment
which I command you today is not too mysterious for you, nor is it far off. In other words, it’s
not out of your grasp. It is not in heaven, that you should say, ‘Who will ascend into heaven for
us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ Nor is it beyond the sea, that you should
say, ‘Who will go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?’ But the
word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it. You are not to try it,
you are to do it! “See, I have set before you today life and good, death and evil, in that I
command you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His

-1-
commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and the LORD
your God will bless you in the land which you go to possess. But if your heart turns away so that
you do not hear, and are drawn away, and worship other gods and serve them, I announce to
you today that you shall surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you
cross over the Jordan to go in and possess. 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; that you may love the LORD your God, that you may
obey His voice, and that you may cling to Him, for He is your life and the length of your days;
and that you may dwell in the land which the LORD swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac,
and Jacob, to give them.” Now that is powerful!!! You have a choice of life or death. You have
a choice of blessing or cursing. He who sows to his flesh receives curse. Sin is the association
with the presence of evil. Transgression is the act. Sin leads to a curse. A curse leads to
judgment. So every time you break something, you bring a self-imposed curse on you which
allows judgment to come. Judgment leads to death. Because the wages of sin is death. So when
you begin to associate with the presence of evil, which is sin—The bible says even when you
think things, you sin. It doesn’t mean you committed it. So if you are associating with it, you
commit sin. When you commit the sin it is known as a transgression. When you have
manifested and allowed those evil spirits to convince you to do something, that brings a curse
which brings judgment which can lead to death. The only way you can stop it is by repentance.
Only by the Blood of the Lamb. So you and I have a choice every single day in every decision!
You and I have the power to choose. You can choose life or you can choose death. Every
choice has an end result. It is either going to be life or death.

JOSHUA 24:14-15
This has already been imparted in your spirit by the Holy Ghost. It’s already there. It’s like I see
the Lord walking down and just imparting this in everyone’s spirit. In these last days that you
and I are in it is so very important that correct decisions are made. We have the power of choice.
In verse 14, Now therefore, fear the LORD, serve Him in sincerity and in truth, and put away the
gods which your fathers served on the other side of the River and in Egypt. Serve the LORD!
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.” Now you have to understand something. We are on another land right now. It’s called
America the dream. At one time it was good. Now there is deception. People come to America
for dream. America the spirit. Let’s go to America for the big dream… Praise God. We have
liberty here. We have freedom to worship and so forth. Behind the other scenes there really
isn’t liberty—you can complain all you want while living here, but it’s a lot worse in other
places. The dream is this – Let’s go to America, get a big house, a big car, lots of money, let’s
get a job and sit back and retire. I’ve made it! Unfortunately that American spirit has fallen into
the Church—and people are getting fat for the slaughter!! Why? Because the decisions that they
are making are compromise of the will of God. The American dream—marriage, kids, big house
… lots of bills. Debt! I don’t care what it costs—I gotta have it! America is in trouble.
America is in big trouble. The church is in trouble in America!! It’s not just by the legalistic
arenas. That’s irrelevant. It’s about the relationship with God. That’s the important thing. All
the legalistic arenas are irrelevant in the eyes of God. It’s like when Samuel was standing and
the Lord said to Samuel—Samuel, I’m not judging by what he looks like – I’m judging by his

-2-
heart. So all the legalities and rituals in America are irrelevant. They have nothing to do the
importance of your relationship with the Lord. That is of ultimate importance in the eyes of
God! Now you can get sucked up in this spirit of America and seek prosperity for selfish gain—
If your focus as a believer is not on expanding the kingdom of God and bringing glory to his
name—Then you are not a Christian. Because you are playing both sides and the Lord says you
cannot serve two masters. If your focus is not on expanding the kingdom of God and bringing
glory to his name, then you aren’t right! In these last days, as God is going to pour out his glory
and bring judgment, you’ve got to be right. Because every choice you make is important! It is
serious. That’s why the bible says to be serious and watchful in your prayers. Half the believers
don’t even pray. They are all busy doing all kinds of stuff but they can’t hear God—They go by
what they see, what they feel, but don’t hear!! The American spirit is full of greed, selfishness,
disobedience, compromise to the will of God – they chase after success: family, house, job – and
they sit back with the attitude that they have made it. They are getting fat for the slaughter.

3 JOHN 2
I could go on and on about the dreams and prophesies and so forth. But it all boils down to the
power to choose. The power of choice. You can hear people’s testimonies. You can hear
peoples dreams. You can hear prophesies. You can hear everything. But you still have a
choice. Everyone in this room has a choice to receive and obey or reject. And everything is
either going to lead to life or death. Some of us make a choice even when we are playing sports.
We know what the consequences can be. You can lose the game. You can win the game. You
can get hurt. There are certain choices that we make—after enough experiences we begin to
make different choices. Believe me there are times when I’m going to dive after the ball and I
hear don’t do it. And I go okay, I won’t do it. And then there are times when I heard don’t do it
and I did it and I paid the consequence. There is a difference between being led by the flesh and
being led by the Spirit. And that other spirit is called competition!! In verse 2, Beloved, I pray
that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. Hallelujah. Just
as your soul prospers. Your soul is your mind, your emotions and your will. So the devil is
always going to try and attack your mind with thoughts—your emotions—to cause your will or
to cause you to make a choice. Your will is associated with choice. In fact your will is the door
to your spirit. That’s where you either get contaminated or not. Some people can get offended
real easy. Anger, unforgiveness—you name it. Do you know what that does? It opens a door to
your spirit where the devil has access to contaminate it. Then people wonder why there are
storms and trouble and why things are happening. They wonder why families are being
destroyed. They wonder why they are losing jobs. They wonder why they are broke. So what
we need to do is what? Even as your soul prospers. That’s where the word says My people are
destroyed for lack of knowledge. People are destroyed for lack of knowledge because they made
the wrong choice. So people are destroyed not because of the lack of knowledge but because
they made the wrong choice. But you and I have the power to choose. We have the power of
choice. Some of us made a choice to stick it out and go through and some of us made a choice to
run. Some of us made choices not to allow God to expose us. When we come up to a wall in our
life, people run instead of dealing with it—or letting God deal with it.

1 TIMOTHY 4:1
So you will is the area where you make a choice. And you will is the door to your Spirit. To
God be the glory. There is an impartation tonight and revelation of the importance of every

-3-
choice you make and that you have the power to make the right one. Verse 1, Now the Spirit
expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving
spirits and doctrines of demons—Now that’s a very powerful statement. Giving heed to
deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. Depart from the call by doctrines of self. You have
to remember—what’s the spirit in this country? The major spirit is greed! Selfishness! Me,
myself and I. The words here, depart from the faith means depart from your call. Taking heed
to deceiving spirits that are telling you, Come on get a life! – when you already have one. What
he is really saying is, Come on back to the old one. Don’t you miss it. Departing from the faith,
giving heed to doctrines of demons and deceiving spirits. We are not fighting flesh and blood.
We are fighting powers of darkness. We have the power to choose. We have the power of
choice in every matter. But we have to first get the revelation and the impartation that you and I
aren’t fighting flesh and blood. That every choice you are going to make—every decision, the
end result is a matter of life or death. Let me share something else with you which is very
important. This country has a very very strong principality. It’s called the spirit of
independence. This spirit of independence cannot understand authority. They twist the word of
God for self advantages. It’s hard for individuals involved with a spirit of independence to stay
put in ministries. Most of them bounce around trying to find God when God is trying to find
them. We are going to talk about anointed bones and about mantles being transferred but not
today. God is trying to impart in people but he can’t. We’ll talk about that another time.

LUKE 14:25-33
Now great multitudes went with Him. And He turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to Me
and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his
own life also, he cannot be My disciple. In other words, he has to be number one. Number one.
And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. For which of
you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has
enough to finish it— lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it
begin to mock him, saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish’? Or what king,
going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able
with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? Only in Christ. 32
Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of
peace. 33 So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has—ALL THAT HE HAS!
All that he has! You know why? It’s not ours anyway. You have been bought with a price.
You said, Lord be my Savior. He said, I’ll take it. Now don’t take your life back. So likewise,
whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be my disciple. That’s a choice. Power
of choice. How many times has God asked you to forsake everything and you gave him the
“butt” ministry. You justified. God still speaks. He speaks to us through dreams, visions—he
speaks to us through his word. Through his voice. Even circumstances. But you know what?
Everyone of them is confirmed! Your circumstance is confirmed. Your dream is confirmed.
And the word is confirmed. He confirms them through the gifts of the Spirit in his offices.
When she came up and gave the word of knowledge and word of wisdom—you might call it a
prophesy—God confirmed to me what’s what. He told me today, Guy I confirm everything
through my gifts and my offices. And she came up and confirmed by the gift of the Spirit what’s
going on. But see believers don’t move in the gifts of the Spirit and they can’t get things
confirmed so they run around like chickens with their heads cut off. That is the importance of
staying in the Spirit!! They go by every wind of doctrine!! Something comes across their path,

-4-
they read it and think it’s God—when they have never gotten confirmation!! You will get
confirmation!! You will get revelation through dreams, visions, the word and circumstances.
But you get confirmation through the gifts of the Spirit and God’s offices! The word says it’s
precept upon precept and line upon line. There are a lot of granola believers out there. Nutty
and fruity. We need to be fruity – not nutty. Hallelujah!! A lot of people believe in a lot of
things that are not true. That’s why they have to be confirmed. That’s why God sets offices in
the body of Christ so people don’t get tossed around by every wind of doctrine. Until we all
come into the unity and fullness of Christ. Equipped to be warriors. There is a price to pay.
Besides death!! The other price is obedience. God can’t trust you if you are not obedient. You
can have all the knowledge in the world but if you are not obedient, he can’t trust you!

ROMANS 12:1-2
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. Your responsibility!
That’s a choice, isn’t it. If you’re not presenting your spirit, soul and body to God every day,
then you are going to walk in your own strength, aren’t you. Every day you must empty
yourself. That’s a choice that you make. I do that every morning. But do you maintain it all
day. That’s another choice. When the Holy Spirit says turn away—when he says no. Are you
still obedient? When someone is going to challenge you in something and the Holy Spirit says
don’t get sucked in the ring—walk away. Shut your mouth and walk away. It’s mine. In verse
2, And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that
you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Let me share
something with you that is very powerful—very powerful. There are three wills of God. There
is the good, acceptable and perfect. Then there is the will of man. The perfect will of God is a
representation of choice. The good and acceptable will of God is by ignorance. The will of man
is by a choice. If you choose to rebel against God, you do the will of man. If you choose to do
the will of God and you do something out of ignorance and make a mistake, then you can go into
the good and acceptable. But if you willingly choose to walk away from the will of God, you
reject counsel of the Lord, you reject—you have gone to the will of man. And you are no longer
in any of those wills. Only the good and acceptable wills are the backup of the perfect will
because it’s a mistake or done by ignorance. If you willfully choose not to do the will of God,
you have done the will of man. Non-submission is the will of man. Rejecting counsel is the will
of man. Doing something by mistake or ignorance brings you down to the other two wills. It’s
either the good or the acceptable. But God has predestined me and you to walk in his perfect
will. By rejecting that walk, we walk in the will man. He who trusts in man is cursed. He who
trusts in the Lord is blessed. What is the devil trying to do? Get access to you. It may seem
sweet in the beginning but the end result is death.

PROVERBS 1:28-33
The Holy Spirit told me last week when I was away that he wanted me to teach on the Power of
Choice because it will be the most significant thing in these last days. Let me tell you
something. This is it. It’s almost over. This is the last generation. Don’t get caught up in
worldly documental garbage. Get caught up in Him! Don’t get caught up in the argumentative
dictational religious garbage. Get caught up in Him! He is the only one that is going to rescue
you! Verse 28, Then they will call on me, but I will not answer; They will seek me diligently, but
they will not find me. Because they hated knowledge and did not choose the fear of the LORD

-5-
[or reverence or accept the counsel of the Lord]. They would have none of my counsel and
despised my every rebuke. Therefore they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled to the
full with their own fancies. For the turning away of the simple will slay them, and the
complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will dwell safely, and will be
secure, without fear of evil.” Every one of our choices, because we have the power of choice,
must reflect in the reverence of God. If you don’t see God in every one of your choices
something is not right. Every choice you make, every decision you make, you had better see the
Lord at the right hand. Or you are making it in your own flesh. If you want to dwell in safety,
you have to make right decisions. We have all had fruit from that before—wrong decisions, God
allowed trouble. Some of us have lost a lot of things from wrong decisions. You know who is
the protector of wrong decisions? The spirit of pride. He loves protecting those. That
strongman demon loves protecting. You made a decision, you knew you were wrong, you are
going to do everything you can to defend yourself and justify your decision. While you are
watching your family be destroyed. You are throwing everything away. You are losing your
finances. Everything is falling all around you—but you are going to stand strong on that
decision you made!!! Because the demon of pride is there. The demon of pride protects every
decision of the devil. We must choose to reverence God in everything. Bypassing the
confirmations will result in disaster. In other words, if you make a choice without a
confirmation, it’s always going to end up in disaster.

PROVERBS 16:18-19
Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall. Better to be of a humble spirit
[submissive] with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. Hallelujah.

JOHN 3:18-21
“He who believes in Him is not condemned—What’s the word believe mean? To follow. If you
are not a follower, you are not a believer. Well I want to take out of the word and believe what I
want to believe. Well you’re not a follower. You’re deceived. A demon’s got you by the throat
and he’s about to cut it. He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe
is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Do you know how many people only believe in part of the bible?! And this is the condemnation,
that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest
his deeds should be exposed. Do you know why people bypass confirmation? Because they are
associating with darkness. If you are bypassing confirmation and you’re afraid—obviously the
spirit of fear is there. It’s because you’re associating with darkness. If you are afraid to get
confirmation from the office, from gifts, from a senior authority—then you are associating with
darkness. The devil doesn’t want himself to be exposed by using you. But he who does the truth
comes to the light—They’re not afraid, are they! That his deeds may be clearly seen, that they
have been done in God.” In divine order!!

PSALM 25:12-15
Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses. He himself
shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is
with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. My eyes are ever toward the
LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net. In other words, if we reverence Him do you

-6-
know what’s going to happen? He will choose our way. He will teach us. He will grant us
prosperity, inheritance. He will give us revelations of secrets of His mysteries. He will keep us
in the promise of his covenant. He will rescue us and make a way of escape for us if we use our
power to make right choices. If you make right choices, all of these things are available to you.
People wonder why God’s promises are not manifesting in their life—Do you know why? They
are not making right choices. But I love the Lord!! But you are still not making right choices!
Because if you love Him it says you will obey Him! When the Lord said to me—I didn’t even
know the Lord and didn’t even know it was him speaking—but I realized later it was him
speaking. I said, Man I really need to get off drugs and alcohol. And he said to me, Do you
want to get off drugs and alcohol or have a new life? These were my thoughts and I realized it
was his voice and I said, Man I need a new life! Because he revealed to me everything else I
tried didn’t work. I said, I need a new life. Do you know what he said to me? Show me. Show
me. See works without faith is dead. And I hadn’t even accepted him as my Lord and Savior
yet. But he still said show me. Show me. In other words, make the right choice. Make the right
choice and then I will show you me. And he did and I was never the same. And I’m still not the
same. I’m different today than I was yesterday. And I want to keep on changing and going from
glory to glory. Because I can’t die. I’m eternal. So I’m going to walk in glory right now.
That’s a choice I’m making. I’m going to accept—I’m making the choice that thy kingdom
come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. It’s already manifesting. Why? Because the
kingdom of God is manifesting in me and you. You can make that choice, can’t you. You can
make the choice to be miserable or you can make the choice to be joyful. You can make the
choice to grumble and complain and go woe is me or you can make that choice to praise God
during all of your circumstances. It doesn’t matter. God will never interfere with your choice.
The whole thing is when we cry out, Oh Lord … your will be done…. Oh not that way!! Wait a
minute, I think I made the wrong choice. Then we got to tell God how to do it. Well Lord you
should have freed me this way and given me that!! Wrong choice.

ISAIAH 56:3-5
Do not let the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to the LORD speak, saying, “The
LORD has utterly separated me from His people;” Nor let the eunuch say, “Here I am, a dry
tree.” For thus says the LORD: “To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what
pleases Me, and hold fast My covenant. That what? Choose things that please Him! And hold
what? Fast to his covenant!! Even to them I will give in My house and within My walls a place
and a name. Humble yourself before the hand of God and he will exalt you in due season.
Better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut
off. How many of you want an everlasting name that won’t be cut off? Make the right choice.

GALATIANS 5:7-13
You ran well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth? This persuasion does not come from
Him who calls you. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. I have confidence in you, in the
Lord, that you will have no other mind; but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment,
whoever he is. And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution?
Then the offense of the cross has ceased. I could wish that those who trouble you would even cut
themselves off! For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an
opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Let me share something with you.
This is something the Holy Spirit really quickened me on. He said, You know what, I have freed

-7-
you—I have freed my people, my Spirit is there but they are taking advantage of my freedom.
They are taking advantage of my freedom. They are perverting my liberty for them. That’s what
he said to me today. Some people pervert the liberty. Because you and I are free—Yes we’re
not under the law. We can eat all things and bless it, right. Remember the laws in the Old
Testament was that you could only eat certain things. You and I can eat anything. It doesn’t
mean it’s not going to affect you. So if you eat nothing but meat every day you can actually die
of a heart attack. In fact, many believers are dying before their time. The word tells us that we
are to take care of these temples. We are not to use this liberty to fulfill the flesh. In other
words, don’t use the liberty to fulfill the will of man. Make the choice and don’t use this liberty
that you have to fulfill the will of man. Or you will reap what? Corruption.

Look at what’s going on in this country. Gay marriage. They are using this liberty. They have
taken that liberty and perverted it. Let me share something with you—God’s bringing judgment
in this country unless this country turns and repents. And I mean soon! Very very soon. These
so called preachers of satan. Because that’s what they are. They hold the gospel and preach
doctrines of demons. Paul warned that many would come in my name – many would come with
the same gospel and preach another Jesus. Those guys are going to wake up in hell. I saw today
in the news—they had two people of the same sex kissing and one of them had a T-shirt on that
said Jesus saves. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. They are destroyed for wrong
decisions. Bad choice.

1 SAMUEL 15:22-23
So Samuel said: “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying
the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice—God’s not interested in your
sacrifices. To obey is better than grumbling. When people begin to grumble about what they’ve
done, guess who they are associating with? Mr. pride. He has just showed up and he’s going to
protect that. And to heed than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft—sin is the
presence of evil. And stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the
word of the LORD, He also has rejected you from—your office. Because king means warrior.
It’s an office. We have been called to be priests and warriors. God always checks you to see
that you maintaining your priesthood. When you become rebellious, he will not put you in
office. Sometimes he will remove you. What happens is you lose his trust. Sometimes the
greatest blessing that’s about to happen is when the biggest flood of the enemy comes in. The
enemy knows if he can get you out of position and to make a wrong choice, you just lost the trust
of God and God will pull back what he was about to do. Obedience is better than sacrifice.

JOHN 1:14
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the
only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. Now we talked about grace representing the
holding back of the judgment of God. Mercy is a representation of God considering a plan for
redemption. God considered rescuing me and you. So you and I were under mercy. He
considered it. When Jesus came into the world, the plan was put into action. That’s called grace.
So you are under mercy that he considered rescuing and saving me and you. We accepted.
Grace. Now the plan is in action. The predestined plan that was for each and every individual
and every believer before they were born. That’s grace. It’s predestined for me and you.

-8-
Truth means judgment also. So you and I when we accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior we
made a right choice. And the plan of redemption and dispensation of grace or the spirit of grace
was abounding for me and you.

JAMES 4:6-7
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, but gives grace to the
humble.” In other words, until you have fulfilled that part of the plan of God in your life, you
won’t get the other part. Why? Grace is the plan of God in your life. That’s why he says God
resists the proud. In other words, he stops his plan because of pride. But he gives grace to the
humble. In other words, his plan is continuing on with the humble. It says, Therefore submit to
God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Why? The devil is trying to stop the plan. He’s
trying to stop the grace from flowing. Now the other grace is still in effect. It’s holding back
judgment right now—God’s favor in certain areas. But the grace that’s important to me and you
—I mean that’s automatic. As long as you and I are walking right. But the other grace that is
trying to be prevented from fulfilling in your life is the fullness of God’s plan in his perfect will.
That’s why the devil is trying to get to me and you. You know some of us have been prophesied
over where you were supposed to be a preacher, a pastor or a teacher. An evangelist or have a
ministry of miracles. Let me tell you something, the devil is going to try and get pride to you so
that plan stops. He will do everything he can to stop the plan of God. Therefore submit to God.
Resist the devil and he will flee from you. How much you submit is how much you are able to
resist. That’s the measuring tool. How much you submit is how much God’s perfect will is
going to manifest in your life. Non-submission. Little bit. Why? Because you have to earn the
trust of God for his perfect plan to fall in your life. He cannot trust you with the fullness of his
plan for you. You have to earn it. In Proverbs 18:21 is says life and death is in the power of the
tongue. Make your yes, yes and your no, no. Your tongue has the power of choice. You are
either going to choose life through this or death. Blessings or curses.

JEREMIAH 7:5-11; 22-24

For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, if you thoroughly execute judgment
[which means do the truth] between a man and his neighbor, if you do not oppress the stranger,
the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, or walk after other
gods to your hurt, then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your
fathers forever and ever. Behold, you trust in lying words that cannot profit. And who was
saying that? A deceiving spirit. Isn’t he a liar? Hallelujah. Will you steal, murder, commit
adultery, swear falsely, burn incense to Baal, and walk after other gods whom you do not know
—Burning incense to baal are selfish prayers. And then come and stand before Me in this house
which is called by My name, and say, ‘We are delivered to do all these abominations’? Talk
about perverting liberty. Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of thieves in
your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it,” says the LORD. Now go to verse 22. Thus says the
LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat meat.
For I did not speak to your fathers, or command them in the day that I brought them out of the
land of Egypt [which means bondage or the world], concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices.
But this is what I commanded them, saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you
shall be My people. And walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well
with you.’ Yet they did not obey or incline their ear, but followed the counsels and the dictates
of their evil hearts, and went backward and not forward. That’s what happens. First of all that

-9-
pride comes. It stops the plan of God. The next thing you know you are going backwards
instead of forward. Why? Because you made the wrong choice. You listened to the wrong
voice. You didn’t get confirmation or you rejected it. And you end up going backwards.

LUKE 24:46-49
Decisions are also identified by God’s perfect timing. God might have shared with you
something for you to do, but it might not be his timing. The devil always likes to push that so
even though it may be God’s will, if the timing has not evolved it no longer is God’s will and
you just made a wrong choice. Then you have sowed to the flesh and the devil has access to you.
Remember the devil pushes and the Spirit leads. There is a difference. It’s amazing how when
people get pushed, they can’t see it. But everybody else can. Verse 46. Then He said to them,
“Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead
the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all
nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the
Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry [that means wait] in the city of Jerusalem until you
are endued with power from on high.” Many didn’t wait. 500 should have waited but only 120
of them did. The rest of them went to the festival—they went to the feast. Because they were
bound by traditions of men instead of in fellowship with the Spirit. The ones that waited and
were obedient to God received the blessing! The other ones just got fed physically. The ones
that waited got fed spiritually. Choose to obey and wait for that part of the plan to be fulfilled.
Let God build your house.

MARK 16:16-18
He has given us power over ALL things, hasn’t he. All things. You have the power to choose.
Sometimes you are going to have to choose to cast out that devil and not manage it. He who
believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And
these signs will follow those who—choose to follow me and obey! These are signs of every
believer. Every single believer! These are signs. The world is not interested in knowledge.
Your knowledge brings you to the throne room of God. It should always bring you into the
Spirit where you can have fellowship. The world is interested in signs! Everyone should be a
sign and wonder. Some people are not willing to receive your words of the gospel. They will
when they see how your conduct is. How you react to circumstances and situations. You know
what they will do? They will come to you! In my name they will cast out demons. Some of us
need to cast them out of ourselves before we go cast them out of anyone else. They will speak
with new tongues. There is always a manifestation of the Spirit when you get baptized with the
Spirit. They will take up serpents [they will have dominion over darkness]; and if they drink
anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will
recover.” They will recover! They might not get healed instantly that day but they will recover.
They might not get healed instantly that day but they will recover. It’s his promise. But if
you’re not right with God, his covenant, his promises can’t be manifested.

You know what you and I have? The power to forgive. The Lord says the Father forgives you
but you must first forgive. Some of us are still holding unforgiveness toward others. Bitterness.
You have the power to release that individual by that choice that you make. It not only will
release that individual but it will stop the access of the devil toward you—because it’s our
responsibility to make no place for the devil. Some of you all need to forgive yourself for being

- 10 -
a bonehead. You need to forgive others. Some of us are still blaming God. Forgive him! He
didn’t do it anyways.

2 TIMOTHY 1:6-7
Therefore I remind you to stir up—make a choice and stir yourself up!! Stir yourself up and get
out of your little fleshly nature! Stir yourself up. Get in the Spirit so you can hear. So you can
see. And so that you can receive what the Spirit has to say. Stir yourself up!! Therefore I
remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For
God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power—POWER!! POWER!! And what else? Love
and of a sound mind. Do you know what fear always does? Self—if the mind has enough fear
there is no power over a choice. The word tells us in Proverbs 23:7, As a man thinks, so he is!
And as a man chooses, so he will be.

PSALM 32
The power of choice. Yes I’m going to choose to worship the Lord. I’m going to choose—I
don’t care what my flesh thinks or my neighbors see! I’m going to choose to do the right thing.
Because the eyes of God are on me all the time. I’m going to choose to do what is necessary
because I see the Lord at my right hand. That’s what brother David said. Blessed is he whose
transgression is forgiven, Whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man to whom the LORD does not
impute iniquity, And in whose spirit there is no deceit. When I kept silent, my bones grew old
Through my groaning all the day long. For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My
vitality was turned into the drought of summer. Selah I acknowledged my sin to You, And my
iniquity I have not hidden. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD,” and You
forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You in
a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they shall not come near him.
You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs
of deliverance. Selah I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide
you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, which have no understanding, which
must be harnessed with bit and bridle, else they will not come near you. Many sorrows shall be
to the wicked; but he who trusts in the LORD, mercy shall surround him. Be glad in the LORD
and rejoice, you righteous; and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Let’s shout for joy!!
