[QUOTE="Aussie Pete, post: 77313696, member: 421731"] God gave Adam and Eve free will. They could do as they pleased, with one exception. They blew it. God has not changed. He still wants His people to choose freely. Satan and God are after the same thing: the active cooperation of man's will. Even if you choose to ignore free will, it is your choice. You need to accept reality. We must choose. Even not choosing is a choice. If we choose God's will and God's ways, we will be satisified, productive and at peace. If we do not, we end up with Satan's way by default. That is a recipe for defeat, failure and misery. "Choose this day who you will serve!" Your last sentence is exactly right. If you really knew the love and goodness of God, you would not be troubled. Free will is the greatest gift and also the greatest responsibility. We have Lord Jesus living within us to work it all out. He has no trouble obeying God as He already faced the most severe test and won. Ask Him to establish the desires of your heart according to God's will. Our will follows our desires. That is the principle behind every sales pitch. Also ask Him to help you with thoughts that argue against your desires. The enemy does not want you obeying God! [/QUOTE]
