Choose Life!

A good question to ask God during our intimate time with Him, is, what is my place of authority. God has given us a realm, a domain in which He gives us authority over and we are responsible for inviting/bringing His redemptive work into that place. In that place of authority we are given the tools, armor and weapons to take ground. It will only be in our dwelling with Him that we will know that place of authority and know the timing and strategy to take ground. We must look into His face and focus on the work He may show us that He is currently doing in our domain and then advance toward what He shows us. The Kingdom of God is always, always building and advancing. We must be willing to let go of old unredeemed ways and receive the keys to the building of the Kingdom in our domain.

This morning I was reading in John Eldredge's "Journey of Desire" and he says, "Life is now a battle and a journey." God uses everything in our lives to bring us closer to Him, especially the battles in our lives. I believe that if you are experiencing a battle right now, perhaps over the domain that He has given you, that you have the opportunity to receive life right there in that place. You may see it as hopeless, but God has allowed or given you this opportunity to receive more of Him and more life. We actually get to choose if we will receive it or not. So, now, choose Life!!!
