Will

Jeremiah 29:11-12 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. (KJV)
 
So what was the reason that you came to the Lord in the first place? Was it because you enjoyed the music on Sunday mornings and having nice people to hang out with? Or maybe you came to the conclusion that something was missing in your life and you sensed there was something better going on? Well, what you will find out is that the Lord has an expectation for your life, something He personally mapped out for you before the foundation of the world. Now it’s up to you to find out what your calling and purpose is and then see things through to the end.
 
Jeremiah 29:13-14 And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. 14 And I will be found of you, saith the LORD: and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather you from all the nations, and from all the places whither I have driven you, saith the LORD; and I will bring you again into the place whence I caused you to be carried away captive. (KJV)
 
What you may have discovered is that the Lord didn’t change you outwardly; rather you found an inner peace that you never experienced before, and you also will discover that in order to be set free and not taken captive spiritually again you will need to continue your search in the realm of the Spirit. Just like with any reformed convict in this world, if they return to their old ways then it’s likely they will be locked up again.
 
Jeremiah33:2-3 Thus saith the LORD the maker thereof, the LORD that formed it, to establish it; the LORD is his name; 3 Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knows not. (KJV)
 
The Lord didn’t create you just to watch you struggle and suffer through life in fear and torment. He came so that you could have life and have it in abundance. Abundant life will not be found in this world, rather it comes from within; and what it now comes down to is learning to walk more by faith and not by sight.
 
Galatians 1:3-5 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 To whom is glory forever and ever. Amen. (KJV)
 
It all comes down to the will of God, what He expects of you. God sent us a deliverer so that you would not have to live in bondage to sin and death. He sent His deliverer with the keys of the kingdom of God so that you could be set free from your own carnal prison and walk in a new found liberty in Christ. As you see in verse 5, by living your life according to the will of God you can spend an eternity giving thanks and praise to Him personally for all that has been accomplished on your behalf.
 
God bless dearly loved, and give praise to God for the abundant life He has blessed us with. Have a very prosperous day in Christ Jesus our Lord.
