Scripture: John 10:10; Deuteronomy 30:19; 2 Peter 1:5-6

Topic: Choices/Decisions

Notes:- The enemies objective is to steal from you, to destroy and to kill, to take the life out of your faith and put fear in your heart- Jesus came that we may have life more abundantly; your life can be better- I can make decisions; I have a will, mind, understanding; my decisions will determine how I will feel and what kind of fruit I will harvest- You can choose to believe in God and walk in faith or to be afraid and doubt- You choose to forgive, to be happy, overcoming pride, rebellion, hard heartedness- I am responsible for the condition I’m in right now- God’s children are not victims... I’m only a victim of my own choice- I’m here because I didn’t pray or because I did...- A lion has to fight flies all day long. It’s part of being alive- People pray for rain but don’t like mud- Things may be getting worse but it’s not over yet- Be careful what you choose, who you choose to marry or go into business with- Add to your faith self-control and perseverance- Stick with it till you get there... postage stamp Christians- Chinese bamboo: first four years seemingly little growth, then in five weeks grows 90’.- Everything you do for His name counts.
