The Power of Choice to Determine Destiny
“Incline your ear to Me,” says The Father, “for you are in a time of choice, a time to choose life or death.
You have entered a time Hope for Tomorrow, that will be offered to those whose hearts are badly fragmented, and parts of their hearts might desire to remain in darkness, while other parts desire to be enlightened.
Many are longing for their hearts to be united with Me, but some are stuck in the place of unbelief and hopelessness.
I AM calling you out of darkness into My marvelous Light, that your heart will be satisfied with The LORD, your God and not seek the lure of the pleasures of the world.
For I desire to satisfy you, morning by morning, with my steadfast love that never ceases.
My Mercy never comes to an end, for it is new every morning, and Gladness and Joy will be your portion, as you bask in the times of refreshing that come from being in My Presence,” says The Life Giver.
“The times of refreshing shall come from the presence of The LORD.” Acts 3:19. KJV.
“Wait on The LORD, be of good courage, and He shall strengthen thine heart — wait, I say, on The LORD!” Psalm 27:14 KJV.
“Distress of soul and grief of heart in the last year has brought much destruction to the bodies of many.
But I invite you to force your Mind, Will, and Emotions to arise and Worship Me with Gladness, for there is great healing power in Joy.
Joy alone is a great source of healing. Bring your sorrows, and watch for the sunrise of Resurrection Life to come and birth new hope for tomorrow.
My life is indeed breathing into My People a new beginning,” says The Father.
“My Peace shall flow into your very being like a river of life. As The Living Water washes over you, it shall carry away the poison of painful memories and restore all the thoughts of despair and death,” says The LORD.
“As you are refreshed, restored and filled with new life, you must not let what’s behind you make you miss what is before you. What could have seemed like rock bottom, will now be your stepping stones on the path of a new day.
“Refreshment is here. I AM reviving marriages that seem to hit rock bottom, and relationships in families that have appeared to ‘die on the vine’.
As families gather, they shall converse about the everything that they learned during the challenges of the last year and realized they had a new understanding of the power of choice,” says The Father.
The LORD has given us the power of choice that we may choose life or death and in this crucial moment of change, change, change and choice, choice, choice.
I have been reminded so often of how we learn trust in preparation for our appointed assignments The LORD desires to entrust us with.
I have been reminded of a story I once read a long time ago. I cannot recall the source but the story is true and very enlightening.
Victor Frankl was a Jewish physician during the holocaust. The Nazis executed his family right before his eyes. They actually kept him alive, because they needed his expertise and medical skills.
He was paraded before a Gestapo court scene, stripped naked, even of his wedding ring. As he stood before the people in complete devastation, as the story was told.
He thought to himself, “They can take my family, my clothes, my wedding ring, my dignity, but one thing they cannot take from me is my choice of attitude. I can Choose to forgive or Choose to be bitter. I can Choose to love, or hate, I can Choose to bless or curse, but no man can take the Choice away from me.”
That story is a perfect picture of the word portrayed in the Psalms. Our souls may be filled with frustration, fear, doubt and unbelief but we still have a CHOICE.
We can be stressed to the max or we can rest all our expectations and trust in The LORD to take care of us His way in His time.
The LORD can close the gap and when He does, a new way of life opens to us. And He alone fills us with the peace that passes understanding that makes through still battling the storm totally baffled.
I am including this excerpt about being Entrusted as you make Wise Choices in this hour.
This excerpt form “Appointed, Empowered to Be Entrusted’’ published on HKP in December 2021″
“The LORD said, “Come closer, for this is not the time to struggle but it is a time to snuggle with Me, to listen to My Voice, to pray without ceasing, for many feel scattered and shattered and caught up in the fear of the unknown.
But I say to you, it is a time of reinforcing your trust in my word to you in Hebrews 11:1,
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
“As I have spoken to you, you just shall live by Faith. I now have come to remind you that your hands have been trained to war, your heart has been trained to trust, yes, trained for your mind must be trained to let My Mind be in you, you have been empowered to empower, and appointed for such a time as this,” says The Father.
“Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen.2 This testimony of faith is what previous generations were commended for. Faith empowers us to see that the universe was created and beautifully coordinated by the power of God’s words! He spoke and the invisible realm gave birth to all that is seen.” Hebrews 11:1-3 TPT.
“My Beloved family, even though your feelings are continuing to try to override your spirit in this hour, I say you are physically in a ‘Holding Pattern’ that will soon release you to the place your spirit is longing for.
I caution you to beware of double-mindedness. Stay focused with a single eye full of light. The light shall lead you to your appointed assignment that will carry out all that which has been entrusted to you,” says The LORD of all wisdom.
Suddenly, my mind was flooded with memories of those who have gone before me, those whom God used so heavily in my life to make deep deposits of Truth, and those who walked the walk faithfully answering God’s call to live by faith, standing firmly on the foundation of The Word of God.
As I pondered the many whom The LORD had used to rescue, deliver and disciple me, my heart is full to overflowing with His unfailing Love, to handpick just the right intercessors and faithful disciples to patiently sow into my life.
I now realize that just like Paul, they understood and faithfully guarded what God had entrusted to them.
I hear The LORD saying, “This also is a set time for the older to teach the younger. They were many that have gone before you that are mentioned as ‘Heroes of the Faith’.
In these dark and fear-filled days, many are looking for a hero and I AM calling for those who will demonstrate heroic deeds and Faith beyond measure that will be remembered as Anonymous Heroes of the Faith — but their names shall be well remembered in heaven,” says the Creator of all.
“So shall many seasoned mature Warriors be entrusted to live out their Faith and Testimonies in relationships much like Paul had with Timothy.
They have been appointed and empowered to guard the many deposits entrusted to them for the glory of The LORD in these last days,” says The Father.
“There are some that you have planted and sowed into in the past, whom I AM sending back to in this great hour when many are in the valley of decision.
It is time to Review, Renew, and Reset their faces like flint, to forge ahead fully equipped to finish their race,” says The Great I AM.
The word Entrust in Hebrew denotes appoint to remember or deposit. The dictionary defines ‘Deposit’ as a verb…. store or entrust with someone for safekeeping. “a vault in which guests may deposit valuable property.”
[…]
May we let that thought marinate in your heart until it is totally absorbed.
We must get a new understanding through His Perspective, that pretty much everything that has been given to us is something He entrusted to us, that changed the way we live, and that is a continual process, that we realize we are ever learning.
“Today, if you lay aside the spirit of entitlement,” says The LORD, “you will be clothed with a fresh garment of humility and holiness that will enable you to no longer be deceived by the pride of your heart — but will be filled to overflowing with transparency and Truth to run with the message of Love, Joy, and Peace.
For as you lean in to listen and heed My Word to you, you will no longer to lean unto your own understanding, but you will go forth with a guarded heart that desires and chooses to live and speak with a new bold assurance the good news of your Savior Jesus Christ, who rescued you over and over out of darkness into His marvelous light,” says The Father to His Children.”
He is saying to us today, “I AM enlightening My Remnant to value the Power of Choice, and choose Life, for My Life is truly your blessed assurance of the foretaste of my Glory divine.
I AM enforcing your strength with Courage and Hope, as you step forward with Faith that carries out the Choice to trust the next chapter of your life, because you know the Author and Finisher of your Faith.
So embrace Expansion. Run with a Vision, and let your firm Foundation determine your Destiny!”
