Free Will is a Gift of Faith
Your free will of faith is the most valuable thing about you. Who will you give your gift to? You are programmed to give it away, but who will you choose this day?

Deep-rooted confusion—not just the Haze that everyone walks through from time to time. The confusion that has taken root in our lives by footholds provided for it. We are not necessarily aware of the opportunities allowed to gain a foothold and also unaware of the generational footholds.
This rooted confusion comes in through lies that we believe and things that we’ve tolerated. It warps our minds, making us unable to process the world around us correctly. We are stuck in a different world. It is like a person that escapes life through their mind, creating a different place to be and thinking that they are free and safe there. They use the mind and imagination as a place to save themselves. The only one that can truly save us is Jesus and his work on the cross.
“6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
This escapism goes beyond dream goals to change your life. It is deliberately stepping into a different world you created to find comfort and rest. To avoid the harsh lessons of life and the coldness of the world around them. This refusal and lack of understanding in how to take this to Jesus and lay it down at His feet. This repetitive partnering with the vain imaginations of man. Pride and rebellion are the source of its root. It is easier to run away in one’s mind than to pick up the cross and follow him. Living in the flesh and enjoying the short-term relief and benefits of self in the Flesh is easier. Your imagination is a tool to be used for many things by the Lord, such as processing life and your heart. It’s also used to help you to connect to the spirit realm.
“5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.”
“21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools”
With any tool, it’s all about how it’s used. If used incorrectly, it can hurt and destroy you. Lies are from the enemy, and all he wants to do is steal, kill and destroy you. He will use whatever he can to complete this goal whenever possible. Destruction is successful when they are separated from me of their free will by the end of their life
“10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”
“9 The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
The battlefield is genuinely in your mind more than you know and understand. The power of partnering with lies versus truth is potent. Where sin abounds, grace abounds also and is greater. However, it’s a matter of free will.
“20 Moreover the law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
Your free will of faith is the most valuable thing about you. Who will you give your gift to? You are programmed to give it away, but who will you choose this day?
“15 But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD.”
Just as his mercies are new every morning, so is the battle for your mind. The war for your free will is the prize you offer.
“22 Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed,
for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.”
Just as every day and moment, there is mercy in choosing life. There is an opportunity to grow in life, just like the farmer attending to his garden, or there is an equal opportunity to choose death and to decrease in growth.
“6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.”
“My son came in and saved man for those who put their free will of faith into him. He will fill in the gaps and shortcomings, just as fresh snow covers the ground. He will always honor your free will and your choice in life. You can have as much of him as you want as you draw to him. He will be faithful to draw near you to you.”
“8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
So, in the last days, they will heap up teachers who will tickle their ears and feed their fantasies. They would rather go their own way than follow Yahweh. They will sow into their fantasies, leading to death and destruction. Many will fall for this. “Many of you don’t understand the type of life I wish for them to have. That brings me the most glory. The peaceful, undisturbed life working in their own garden growing closer to me.”
“3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear”
Peaceful and undisturbed does not mean there won’t be any troubles or challenges to overcome. But through me, we can overcome them together and create a deeper understanding and intimacy in our relationship. It was my blessing and pleasure to give Jerusalem a peaceful life. Have I not called you to pray for your leaders so you may lead a peaceful life? Before sin entered the world, Adam and Eve were placed in the garden to see me and work with me. The garden was so much more than a garden. It was our place to meet, connect, and grow. The garden is my teaching tool, showing you my ways and how you should grow. The struggles in the garden before the fall were light. Nothing they couldn’t overcome. I use struggles to help my children stretch and grow. The struggle is beneficial and serves a purpose. Look at creation in the struggle of hatching an egg or a butterfly coming out. The struggle is necessary but not impossible. It accomplishes its purpose for the better. All things work out for their good.
“Instructions on Worship
2 I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.
”
To try and escape the struggles and trials of life is like taking the struggle away from the hatching egg. Helping the butterfly out of its chrysalis, the strength that the struggle would’ve provided is robbed, making them unable to complete the next stage in life to its fullest.
“33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.””
“Trials and Temptations
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
”
Like all things, there is a time and a place for the struggle. There is a time and a place to help and a time not to. You need my wisdom to know the time and the season. That can only be found when you draw close to me.
“A Time for Everything
3 There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under the heavens:”
Man has fundamental wisdom by grace, but that level of wisdom is nothing without a correct understanding of how to divide it. I will show mercy to whom I shall mercy to and withhold from whom I withhold it; that is for me to decide alone, just like how I give rain and sunshine to the sinner and the saint all the same. There are those with more than others; naturally, everyone who chooses to Seek me will obtain wisdom. Wisdom is more than knowledge. It’s more than just understanding. For it to truly have power, you must choose to do the wise things and see the power of wisdom unfold. These laws are for all who choose to be wise.
“15 For he says to Moses,
“I will have mercy on whom I have mercy,
and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.”
“45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.”
All is available, but it’s up to the King to find it. In the process, I’ll be there with you. The more you acknowledge me in the process, the deeper your understanding will grow. I am with you faithfully through all of it. I am waiting for your free will to choose me, which is true life.
“2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter;
to search out a matter is the glory of kings”
