“It’s funny how one little decision…yes or no…can alter your entire life” was the opening line of a Jesus story. One momentous decision came when he was nineteen.
His plan was to go into either politics or law. And yet, during a mandatory public speaking class, he was challenged to audition for a college play. At the audition, he listened to the head noise, “You’re kidding yourself. You’re going to embarrass yourself!” and high tailed it out of there.
While sitting a coffee shop he heard, “If you back out because you’re afraid of not getting cast, then you’re a coward.” He went back. Auditioned. Got the part, which lead him down a path to Christ. One decision changed the course of his life.
It can do the same for you. I’ve heard it said, “Blessing is on the other side of obedience.” Many listen to Jesus in the Sunday message, but do nothing with it. Many listen to Jesus in devotionals, but leave the words on the page. Many hear Jesus’ voice through the pages of Scripture, but do nothing with them.
Hearing from Jesus is only half the equation. Following them by faith Spirit empowered is the other. One decision can change your life. Choose to follow what Jesus said to do today. Your life will never be the same again.

Today in America, hopefully all her citizens are celebrating and appreciating the freedoms that were hard won.
As believers, today and every day should be a day to celebrate and appreciate the freedoms Jesus won and gave to us the moment we placed our faith in Him. Yet, are we always thinking about what we want rather than what we have, right here, right now?
Always thinking about tomorrow can hinder us from enjoying the life Jesus  gave us Jesus today. This focus on tomorrow can lead to all kinds of bad choices as we tend to forget who we are and what we have in Christ right now.
Stay focus on Jesus today. Let Him bring what may tomorrow because He is a good God who “rewards those who seek Him.”

“And I am sure of this, that He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” (Phil. 1:6) The moment you became a secure child of God, the Father has been working to replace your character with Jesus’. This reclamation project will one day be finished, but not today.
Therefore, life will have its low moments of failure. Our obedience will not always be perfect. Here’s a word of encouragement and exhortation, however. We can either learn from our failures or repeat them, which is our choice this side of heaven, not whether we will experience them. And unless we learn from them, we will become them.
We are secure children of God that is who we are. We are not failures. Having said that, if we don’t learn from our failures, they will become part of our character that the Father will have to continue to hammer away at.
Let’s pray for each other. We know failures will occur. Pray that they are far and few between because we’re learning from them how to hear and follow Jesus closer the next time.

“In a place like Toronto, where hockey is almost a religion, the main distinction being that religion is something that matters only one day a week; whereas hockey is life, of every day importance.” I expect this from a non-Christian writer. Yet, this attitude is pervasive among believers.
As the Lord has enabled me to touch lives beyond where I live, I hear a very similar theme. Believers are relying on devotionals for their sustenance instead of the Book those devotionals are based on. Believers have little interaction with Jesus throughout their week, let alone their day.
My friends, religion puts a layer between Jesus and the believer. Religion is contained to one day (really only a very small part of it), rather than hearing from the Word of God Himself throughout their day.
Think about it. Do you want a one day out seven experience with Jesus? Pick up your FREEdom tools every day to hear from and follow Jesus. He is the only one of every day importance that will bring you life.

When you’re alone mind your thoughts, when in public mind your words. This powerful truth came to light as I was reading an article on the current situation in British education. It was stated that one has to be careful when the word “girls” is used with girls because of the transgender situation. Girls can be a bad word? Yes it can, depending on who you’re talking to.
This is exactly what Ephesians 4:29 reveals, “Let no worthless talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. ”
The key is who is listening to your words and how they understanding them. Are your words priceless or worthless? Words can bring either life (closer to Jesus) or death (separate us from Him), whether said to ourselves or to others.
Be careful what you say. Your words can actually affect a life for eternity!
