EMPTY VESSELS

There are only two choices, two masters, two domains from which we live life, the Law and Grace; there is no third way called Self... Self is simply a pretender to the throne of our heart. We all begin life under the Law, born enslaved, indentured to the powers of darkness through the fall. The power of the Law is two-fold: The Law defines sin as sin, without the Law there is no sin, and the law demands perfection, complete and total compliance, which only God can satisfy. The Law sets an impossible standard then condemns man for being unable to attain to it, enslaving us to failure. Unrighteousness, sin, reigns and controls our life focusing on appeasing Self which sits on the throne of our heart. Co-crucification releases us from the Law and sin’s dominion, allowing us to choose our master, and co-resurrection seats us (spiritually) in the heavenlies with our Lord awaiting The Gathering when we will receive our new glorified bodies and fly home. Continual yielding to either domain brings bondage and enslavement. We are either slaves of sin or slaves of God, but slaves none the less. Said another way we are empty vessels that can only release that which is put into us. God wants to fill us with His Spirit as Kingdom children destined to dwell with Him forever... just how long is forever? Satan wants to fill us with his spirit... the spirit of this world, to enslave us to the passions and lusts of Self, our fleshly nature, condemning us to eternal damnation with him. Some people will choose, and some will choose by not choosing, but there is no escaping... everyone will make a choice.
“CHOOSE FOR YOURSELVES THIS DAY WHOM YOU WILL SERVE”
