One of the most potent tools the devil is using in this generation is making people believe
They own their lives.
They decide what happens to them.
That somehow they are in control.
That nobody should tell them what to do.
You hear people say things like
"Don't tell me what to do"
"I do what I want"
"It's my life"
Is it really?
Are you really in control?
If you have power over the choices but cannot determine the outcome, if you do what you want but cannot control the consequences...does that not put someone else in control?
If someone cuts you spare keys to a house, does that make you the OWNER of that house?
Especially when this person has the key to the gates of the house, which he did not cut for you btw.
Sure you can come in anytime you want and do whatever you want..but the day this person chooses to LOCK the gate, that's the day you realize that the keys you have are useless if someone else determines access to where you can use your keys.
"For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power" -2 Timothy 3:2-4
I ask once again, are you really in CONTROL?
