Death And Life Are A Decision

If death and life lie in the power of the tongue, it means that death and life lie in your decision.

When we were in the first Adam, we had no power. We had no choice. We had to live from death.

Now that we are in the last Adam, we have power. We have a choice. We DECIDE if we want to live from death OR live from life.

We decide death or life. God doesn't. That doesn't make God small or less omnipotent. It reveals His love and grace for mankind by granting us the power to decide.

Death and life are just the main connections where everything else flows from. Those who love the tongue will eat its fruit (Prov 18:21) ----- if death, every form of death follows; and if life, every form of life follows.

Since we are now IN the last Adam, we are living FROM life. We still have to make the decision every day if we want death or life to flow in us and through us.

Many who live from the church will put the responsibility on God thinking that it's exalting Him to be sovereign and in full control. But if you understand and live from the Kingdom of God, the responsibility is on us who decide death or life in our lives.

Our lives are a total combination of what we have permitted or forbidden. For whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven and what you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven.

Paul and Peter decided their lives. So can we.
