Inspiring Words from A Friend

I was talking to my God-sister last night about a few things going on in my life. Last year was a little rough, and this year I'm planning on doing things a bit different and re-grouping. So far I can say that I've been Blessed in many ways, I am so thankful. I was just letting her know that I don't want to make choices without weighing the consequences (good or bad).

So this morning she called to share with me what God said to her:

"Its easier to make excuses for why you've done the very things that you know aren't pleasing rather than to honor My word (God's Word), even when the temptations are irresistible. Will you continually take advantage of my GRACE because you know I will forgive you. When you sin your actions become tools of the enemy and he uses them to blackmail and manipulate your growth and your praise just like Adam and Eve." So I guess in essence, God has given you a promise and the enemy is looking for a way to prevent you from getting it and zap your praise in the process. The enemy heard you say that this year you would take a stand. And coincidentally he has now given you justifiable reasons to be at peace in whatever happens.
Lay aside your wants, and honor God's Word and He will honor your obedience to Him.

I just thought I would share this with you this morning.
