the great test of life
“It is the great test of life, and it all comes down to learning the main lessons of life and of free choice; of seeing if man will choose to grow his spirit and mature spiritually and come to the realization that the eternal world where his spirit lives is what he should devote his time and life to nourishing, or whether he will choose to feed only his body and his flesh‚ which starves his soul.”
(Jesus Is Enough [#3611])
we were given choice
“Man was once more spiritually attuned, and had the right priorities. But I gave him choice. I gave the Devil control over the carnal world and allowed him to present man with that choice. Man chose, as you know‚ the lust of the flesh‚ the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, and therefore fell from the state of putting the spiritual first‚ to dwell in the carnal, and thus your spirits now dwell in a carnal realm. That’s what being born in the “state of sin” means. Every human born after Adam and Eve was born into the carnal nature, to where their natural propensity is to satisfy their flesh rather than their spirit.”
choose Jesus and eternity begins
“I came and died for you to open a way back into the spiritual nature, but each person has to choose to accept it. Once you choose it‚ once you’ve chosen Me, invited Me into your heart, and accepted My gift of salvation, then where you dwell in the spirit world depends on your further choices. In other words, I’ve opened the door back up to the spiritual state of happiness and complete fulfillment‚ but whether or not you choose to dwell there and how far in it you dwell depends upon your choices.”
(Jesus Is Enough [#3611])
Understanding Your Purpose
“It’s often hard to really believe that happiness dwells in the spiritual places. It’s easier to believe that you can get it through carnal means‚ such as eating all of a piece of pie instead of sharing it, or by any number of natural, physical things that you have an inborn human desire for.–Maybe by working for money so you can get any physical things you want, like a car‚ a house‚ a good-looking husband or wife‚ etc. However, you would find in the end that these things did not satisfy you. Why? Because satisfying your flesh or your carnal nature is not the way to satisfy your starving spirit.”
