You are making choices every day in everything you do whether you know it or not. There are only two choices.

Rom.14[12] So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God.

Matt.12[36] But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Choose:

God or Satan

Good or Evil

Yetzer ra - evil inclination or Yetzer tov - good inclination

the Flesh or the Spirit

Life or Death

Rom.6 [16] Know ye not, that to whom ( the two impulses ) ye yield yourselves servants to obey , his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

 

Isa.45 [7] I form the light, and create darkness : I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things .

Gen.2[ 9] And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

[17 ] But of the tree of knowledge of good and evil ., thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

Gen.3 [ 5] For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

[22] And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us , to know good and evil : and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

Deut.1[ 39] Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.

Heb.5[[ 13] For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil .

--------------------------------

Read Rom. 6, 7, 8, and Heb. 7, 8, 9, 10

Yetzer Ha Rah ( The Evil Inclination ) Yetzer HaTov ( The Good Inclination )

Gal.3[ 3] Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

Gal.4[ 29] But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit , even so it is now.

Gal.5[ 16] This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh . [17 ] For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh : and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

Gal.6[ 8] For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

 

Rom.6 [4]... we also should walk in "newness of life" ( in God )

[5 ] For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: [6] Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

[11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin , but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

[12 ] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

[13] Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

[14] For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace.[ 15] What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the "law", but under grace? God forbid.

[16] Know ye not, that to whom ( the two impulses ) ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?

[19] I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Rom.7 [ 14] For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal , sold under sin.
[
15] For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.
[
16] If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good.
[
17] Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
[18] For I know that in me ( that is, in my flesh, ) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. [19 ] For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do.[20] Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.[21] I find then a "law", that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. [22] For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: [23 ] But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. [24] O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? [25 ] I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Rom.8 [ 1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh , but after the Spirit .

[2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.
[
3] For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:[ 4] That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit [5] For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
[6] For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
[7] Because the carnal mind is enmity against God : for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.
[
8] So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.
[
9] But ye are not in the flesh , but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. [10 ] And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
[
11] But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
[
12] Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.
[
13] For if ye live after the flesh , ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

[14] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

enmity - a feeling or condition of hostility; hatred; ill will; animosity; antagonism

carnal - pertaining to or characterized by the flesh or the body, its passions and appetites; sensual: carnal pleasures, not spiritual; merely human; temporal; worldly: a man of secular, rather carnal, leanings.

We are at War

Rev.12 [7] And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon ; and the dragon fought and his angels,[8] And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. [9] And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he ( the dragon ) was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Dan.7 [ 21] I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints , and prevailed against them;

Rev.13 [4] And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?[5] And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.[6 ] And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
[ 7] And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations

1Tim.6[ 12] Fight the good fight of faith , lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

2Tim.4[ 7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:[8] Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.

Eph.2[ 2] Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Eph.6[ 10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
[
11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
[13] Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[
14] Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
[
15] And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
[
16] Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
[
17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
[
18] Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

2Cor.10[ 3] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:[4 ] (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)[ 5] Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;[ 6] And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

Satan's covert operations

2Cor.11 [ 13] For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.[ 14] And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.[15] Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

Matt.7[ 15] Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Matt.24[ 11] And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

[24] For there shall arise false Messiahs / Christs and false prophets , and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mark.13[ 22] For false Messiahs / Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.

Luke.6[ 26] Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophet s.

2Pet.2[ 1] But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

1John.4[ 1] Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophet s are gone out into the world.

2Cor.11[ 26] In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren;

Gal.2[ 4] And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:

Acts.20[ 28] Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.[29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
[
30] Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Jer.7[ 24] But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.

[26] Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers.

Jer.11[ 8] Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but walked every one in the imagination of their evil heart: therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did them not.

Jer.17[ 23] But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff, that they might not hear, nor receive instruction.

Deut.30[ 11] For this commandment which I command thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it far off.
[
12] It is not in heaven, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[
13] Neither is it beyond the sea, that thou shouldest say, Who shall go over the sea for us, and bring it unto us, that we may hear it, and do it?
[
14] But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
[
15] See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
[16] In that I command thee this day to love the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
[
17] But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
[
18] I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, and that ye shall not prolong your days upon the land, whither thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
[
19] I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
[20] That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them .

Keep the commandments

( just listed in the gospels and letters )

Matt.5[ 19] Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandment s, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but

Matt.15[ 3] But he answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?

[6] And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.

[9] But in vain they do worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandment s of men.

Matt.19[ 17] And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandment s.

Matt.22[ 36] Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

[38] This is the first and great commandment .

[40] On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Mark.7[ 7] Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctines the commandment s of men.

[8] For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do.

[9] And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.

Mark.10[ 19] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother.

Mark.12[ 28] And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all?

[29] And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandment s is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:

[30] And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.

[31] And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

Luke.1[ 6] And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandment s and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

Luke.18[ 20] Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother.

Luke.23[ 56] And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

John.10[ 18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

John.12[ 49] For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment , what I should say, and what I should speak.

[50] And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

John.13[ 34] A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

John.14[ 15] If ye love me, keep my commandments.

[21] He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.

[31] But that the world may know that I love the Father; and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence.

John.15[ 10] If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandment s, and abide in his love.

[12] This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

Rom.7[ 8] But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead. [ 9] For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died. [10 ] And the commandment , which was ordained to life, I found to be unto death. [11] For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it slew me. [12] Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. [13 ] Was then that which is good made death unto me? God forbid. But sin, that it might appear sin, working death in me by that which is good; that sin by the commandment might become exceeding sinful.

Rom.13[ 9] For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Rom.16[ 26] But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:

1Cor.7[ 19] Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.

1Cor.14[ 37] If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandment s of the Lord.

1Thes.4[ 2] For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

1Tim.6[ 14] That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:

Tit.1[ 3] But hath in due times manifested his word through preaching, which is committed unto me according to the commandment of God our Saviour;

2Pet.3[ 2] That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Saviour:

1John.2[ 3] And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandment s. [4] He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandment s, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.

[7] Brethren, I write no new commandment unto you, but an old commandment which ye had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word which ye have heard from the beginning. [8] Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth.

1John.3[ 22] And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandment s, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.

[23] And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. [ 24] And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

1John.4[ 21] And this commandment have we from him, That he who loveth God love his brother also.

1John.5[ 2] By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. [3 ] For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.

2John.1[ 4] I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father. [ 5] And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another. [6] And this is love, that we walk after his commandment s. This is the commandment , That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.

Rev.12[ 17] And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev.14[ 12] Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandment s of God, and the faith of Jesus.

Rev.22[ 14] Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
