The Spirit's Choice




Have you ever stopped to think about how your soul mate is being prepared by the Spirit of God?
…or that He is trying to mold you for someone that’s already prepared?
You may even be delaying His Divine plan.
You may be refusing to allow yourself to be led and insisting on the wrong direction.
Pure stubbornness.
You want what you want because you want to impose your will.
Unless this behavior is changed, time will pass and loneliness will remain.
In a situation like this, only when you tire of suffering and finally surrender, will the Holy Spirit act.
God is never late.
The stubborn are always late.
They do not have 100% trust that God will do what He promised to do.
Faith is not restricted to financial sacrifices.
They are mere signs of total, unconditional surrender.
This kind of faith doesn’t waste time.
It destroys doubt, fear, worry and anxiety.
It tears down every barrier between people and God.
After this, God the Father and you have a perfect relationship…
through the Holy Spirit and in the Name of His Son.
Are you convicted of this?
If He is His Father, why not trust in His choice for you?
Why insist on the person you think is ideal?
You may still be crying because your corrupt heart insists on specifying a particular type of person.
Do you think your soul mate has to have the physical appearance that your heart is calling for?
It is fascinated with looks promoted by the deceitful minds behind fashion and beauty magazines.
You have put this in your head and insist in your stubbornness.
The soul mate that the Spirit chooses has a spiritual appearance.
Physical appearance wilts like a wildflower.
A person’s spiritual appearance improves and continues even after death separates us.
Do not be afraid.
God does not make bad choices.
The Criteria For God's Answer



What criteria does the Holy Spirit use to please those who are His?
He pleases those who please Him.
"Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart," Psalm 37.4
This is the criteria God uses.
It is a permanent law that rules over your relationship with Him.
Everyone’s life depends on who they choose as their lord.
It does not depend on God or anyone else.
It does not depend on luck.
It does not depend on the stars.
It does not depend on destiny.
What they say about destiny is a lie.
It does not depend on education, beauty, strength or money.
It depends on obedience.
When you are obedient to the Word of God, blessings are inevitable.
When you are disobedient, curses are inevitable, Deuteronomy 28.
Being obedient to God can be summed up to having a practicing faith in the Holy Bible.
Of course, the practice of faith requires sacrifice.
Otherwise, this world would be a wonderful place because everyone has faith.
Yet, only a few put it into practice.
Believers believe in the Word, but only a few obey It.
This is why so many believers have had so many failures in their lives.
Being obedient to God was Abraham’s secret.
He never did any miracles or wonders...
He traveled through many lands.
He was an authentic nomad.
And still, wherever the Lord told him to go, he obeyed.
His name should have been Obedient Abraham.
No wonder the Lord chose him.
The Lord does not choose people who are disobedient and rebellious.
"Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age, and the Lord had blessed Abraham in ALL THINGS," Genesis 24.1.
