Question:

I am so aware of the unbelief that crops up in my day to day life and how it effects the choices I make. For me it is an ongoing process of trusting the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. Reading your booklet brings tears to my eyes as it challenges and touches on so much of this and sharing your own struggles gives it a heart. I am so aware of the unbelief that crops up in my day to day life. It seems to be an ongoing process of trusting the Holy Spirit on a daily basis. I know I and others are affected by the choices I make. What should I do about this? 

Answer:

I am especially happy that my booklet is of personal help to you. I find myself toying with independent thinking on a regular basis. For example, saying to myself "There you go again misplacing your purse. Why can’t you learn to put it in a regular place." When I catch myself I say, "You are a precious Christ/Page and Christ has put it where he wanted to put it and it is none of your business." When I don’t do that I wander around in circles getting more and more upset and crazy. All Satan of course, laughing his head off. But usually I say "Jesus you know where my purse is and I would really appreciate you showing it to me." When He does I say a very quick and loud "thank you!" If it remains out of sight I settle on the fact that Christ will show it to me when HE wants to. 

Another example which is common for me and others is to say of someone else "there she/he goes again." Or "why is she so___?" We need to quickly see that they are Christ and are being misused by Satan. This applies to the saved or lost. We say this about the lost because we know they were created to be containers of Christ. These people need our help and not our superior judgment.

I know you know this but just a reminder since you mentioned it–choices we make when we are in a state of unbelief is really Satan and not Christ making our choices. That is how we end up in a huge sin mess when we let that happen.
