INTRODUCTION
This book is designed to teach you to approach circumstances, relationships, and situations of life from a biblical perspective and to experience victory and contentment in all of life's trials, testings and problems.
The essence of who we are is made of events and how we responded to those events. We are the sum of what we encountered in life and our reactions to those experiences. Memory, the recalling of the past, is our spirit gazing at the substance of our soul which, at times, directs our life rather than the word of God. Thus, most of our problems are due to ignorance on how to biblically respond to life, and to use life's adversities to our advantage as opportunities to grow and mature in Christ.
These spiritual resources are available to those who are born by the will of God. Having accepted Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, the believer is enabled by Holy Spirit to face life, to counter adversities, to grow in grace and strength, and to live in peace and joy.
The issue is the self, the soul of man. The self-created by God, belongs to God. The self, tempted to be god without God, became enslaved by Satan.
The living soul is what we will deal with...
to set it free
to again be completely dependent upon God
to follow Him and to glorify Him.
Phil. 2:12-13; 2 Pet. 1:3-11 tell us to work out our salvation daily being conformed to the image of Christ. The key is daily, being God-conscious twenty-four hours a day. Either we are thinking God's thoughts or we defer to lower level thinking. There is no gray area. You are either for God or you are against Him.
The Law of Problems
We are the sum of what we encountered in life and our reactions to these events. Being conditioned by life's experiences, we are prone to react to life impulsively and instinctively rather than to respond on the basis of considered judgment. Such actions reveal a man's inner life - his focus - and who and what determines his peace and joy.
Our usual focus is on what others have done or failed to do. As we maintain a self-defensive and self-protective posture, we are inclined to judge, to condemn, to criticize, to blame shift, and similar reactions. This self focus is a breeding ground for anger, frustration, despair, bitterness, self-pity, and the like - a life of feelings. A feeling-oriented life is a fertile area in which Satan operates and upon which he feeds .
The ungodly live by their senses. Their lives are directed by how and what they feel. This is what distinguishes a committed Christian from the world: a Christian lives by the will of God, not by feelings. However, nothing wrong with feelings in themselves until we act upon them. We are not to be directed or to live by feelings. We are to take stock and make note of our intents - the spirit that is being manifested. Then ask God for the grace to insure that we respond in a manner that honors and glorifies Him.
Regardless of how we feel, we are to do what the word of God says to do. As we do to please the Father, godly feelings follow the joy of the Lord. Living by the word, one serves God the
