Chapter 7: Choices From The Heart

Page 17

If you are a real believer, God’s Spirit resides inside of you and you

listen to it. If you are a real believer in Jesus Christ, the spirit of Christ also resides inside of you and you listen to it. Ask yourself this question. If God and Christ were resident inside of your heart, would they help you make sinful choices from the heart? The answer is no. If you find it easy to make

sinful choices from the heart, it is a sign that Satan’s spirit is within you. You don’t need to be an intellectual genius to figure this out.

At any given moment [of choice], you are not just going up towards God or down towards Satan. You are also simultaneously operating on

either God’s turf or Satan’s turf. Therefore, you need to understand the two spiritual turfs we operate on as well as those two spiritual forces we have at our disposal to use as tools. The two turfs are shown in this graphic.
