2 CHRONICLES 7:14

According to 2 Chronicles 7:14, "If they pray to Me and repent and turn away from the evil they have been doing, then I will hear them in heaven, forgive their sins, and make their land prosperous again."

"In Jesus' name Father God, we of the (your family's surname, and then names of your family members), we forsake our sins and turn from the life that is centred in self, and yield to God's word and will, Amen! In Jesus' name be done."

GOD'S WISDOM

(1 Corinthians 2:7-16 GNT.)

“The wisdom I proclaim is God’s human wisdom, which is hidden from human beings, but which He had already chosen for our glory even before the world was made. None of the rulers of this world knew this wisdom. If they had known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as the Scripture says, “What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love Him,” But it was to us that God made known His secret by means of His Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God’s purposes. It is only our spirit within us that knows all about us; in the same way only God’s Spirit knows all about God. We have not received this world’s spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by God, so that we may know all that God has given us.
So then, we do not speak in words taught by human wisdom, but in words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual truths to those who have the Spirit.
Whoever does not have the Spirit cannot receive the gifts that come from God’s Spirit. Such people do not understand them, and they seem to be nonsense, because their value can be judged only on a spiritual basis. Whoever has the Spirit, however, is able to judge the value of everything, but no one is able to judge him. As the Scripture says, “Who knows the mind of the Lord? Who is able to give Him advice? We however, have the mind of Christ."

THE COERCING AGAINST ONE’S WILL

According to (Galatians 2:20) “For I have been crucified with Christ, it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me, and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

God has given us a gift of our free will to choose, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16).
Our free will is God given to choose right from wrong, and to be certain when making choices for the good of others and for ourselves.
In the world there is a “coercing spirit” let loose at this time of Christmas, which coerces to obligation instead of free giving. Jesus came into this world to free us of the obligations to do against our free will as a sign of respect or to receive favour back.
Jesus is a free gift from the Father who loves us all so much. He knew that we needed a Saviour from all the world’s counterfeits of “free will,” to do against one’s will for fear of missing out on recognition, or fear of choosing against man’s ideals as proper and in accordance with tradition.
The coercing spirit of darkness becomes activated when a person, against their better judgement, just goes along with a tradition so as not to look offensive to the people around them.
Jesus is free for all who will freely believe and give their lives to Him, in the free will choice to follow Him as our Saviour.
Peace is what all people seek, the inner peace which settles issues without a lingering doubt.
Peace is what enables people to make good and wise choices for our lives and those in our care for a good future.
Whenever free will has been coerced to do other than their free will – choices are wrongly made to please others, but have consequences for a lifetime of forced hard labour to keep the people who coerced us appeased, and to be highly in their favour.
Jesus is the only way, the truth, and the life we should choose, for with Him we can have all of God’s special blessings as (Philippians 4:19) declares to us, “My God supplies for all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”
People have a blood bought right Jesus paid on the cross for our free will to be retained. If any of us have fallen victim at some time to the coercing against our free will, and any of our family members as well – to now repent and receive back the free gift God has given us of our free will by Christ Jesus:

“Jesus we acknowledge that by our receiving the free gift of free will, we have chosen to be coerced against our free will to do what we did not choose freely, but out of an obligation. Lord Jesus we acknowledge that we have sinned against you through being misled by the coercing spirit of Satan to become enslaved to obligation and not a free will lifestyle, of being free to choose the good for ourselves and those in our care.
We are truly sorry, and now Father thankyou that we cannot do anything apart from you, so in Jesus’ name we ask for your Holy Spirit to open the eyes and ears of our understanding as to what you want us to know and to do, and in Jesus’ name we bind all the powers of darkness and tell you Satan “Go in Jesus’ name,” and may the peace of Christ Jesus be indwelt within us all, Amen.”
