Redeemed Will.

Thursday, July 20th. Redeemed Will. “And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” Luke 22:41-44 Do you know that in the garden of Gethsemane when Jesus prayed and accepted God's will to be the sacrifice for our sins, He also redeemed your will as well? Your will was redeemed by Jesus making it possible for you to obey God willingly. Now that you are in Christ, you are an obedient child because your will has been redeemed. 1 Peter 1:13-14 says, “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation” When you understand this truth, obeying God will become easier. You will know that you have an obedient will. You are not stubborn because your will has been redeemed. Confession. By my faith in the Word of God, I declare that God is at work in me both to will and to do of His good pleasure, in Jesus' Name. For further study, read: Romans 12:1-2, Philippians 2:13, Hebrews 13:20-21. Doing the Word. Live as an obedient child of God.
