Are you creating yourself?

 Psalms 139:13,14 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
God is your creator and sustainer of your life. If you have been born again, you know by now the process of
santification, and being transformed by the word of God has been the activity of His Holy Spirit since
you have given your heart to Him.
Their is a great contrast between the creative power of God's word and all the other voices in the world that would attempt to
capture your attention with the purpose of creating something in you that you may not have even intended to become. That is the power of words, through the media and advertisement.
What, or I could say, who?.. is having a greater affect on the course of your life?  I could answer that for you.
It is  the decisions you make on a daily basis who you spend the most time listening to.
If you are born again, you are very well aware of the war that wages in your soul, flesh against spirit.
Devotion to God and His word is one of the single most powerful tools that keeps you walking in freedom, and helping you win the battles of the flesh. The more devotion you give to God, the more you become conformed into His image.
Part of Satan’s strategy is to deceive us and to distract us from our devotion to God. You must realize that real devotion activates the necessary process of transforming our minds that will help us to begin to think like He thinks. God desires to write His word on your hearts and minds. The ability to make good decisions demands a heart devoted to God. Devotion to God is so vital for our everyday life. Without devotion to God our hearts and minds can so easily be led astray.
The more you plant and feed the word of God into your life, the stronger the creative image and power of God will influence the
choices you make and the life you choose to live.
Their is a seemingly persuasive argument in the hearts of many thousands and thousands of people in this world that for some reason willl not respond favorably to the creative word of God,  that desires out of love, to capture the heart  and life that He created at birth, and to breathe His life once again into the spirit that has been held captive by the results of sin and the fall of mankind.
We have the power within us to choose to be molded by our Creator, that gives us life, or to allow our lives to be carried away by the 
waves of worldly influence, to our destruction.
Isaiah 29:15,16 "What sorrow awaits those who try to hide their plans from the Lord,who do their evil deeds in the dark!
“The Lord can’t see us,” they say. “He doesn’t know what’s going on! ”How foolish can you be?
 He is the Potter, and he is certainly greater than you, the clay! Should the created thing say of the one who made it,
 “He didn’t make me”? Does a jar ever say, “The potter who made me is stupid”?
I look at it in the light of common sense, that God created the universe that we behold. Don't you think that He could do a creative work in your life by speaking words to you?
He has already done it. Your part is to read the Bible, and listen to His voice. His voice is in His word.

I hope this has been helpful and encouraging to you and has planted a desire in your heart to take God seriously, and to walk in the freedom He has provided for you through the cross.  In the coming months, I will be going deeper into the area of devotion to God and how to conquer deceptions that keep us in the dark about the will of God.
In my book. " Are You Saved or Deceived"? I go into great detail about devotion to God, and attempt to confront modern day religions that have a way of keeping you blinded to the real truth of the word of God and how it applies to your life.
I welcome any and all types of comments, whether favorable to my blog, or not.
