The Hebrew “Mazzaroth” has nothing to do with astrology. Rather it is a
tool that uses the stars to tell a story.

We believe that the best place for the

Christ—Religious Christians.
p. 3 3 O u r N e w S p i r i tual Willpower: Nancy
Missler
As Christians, we have God’s supernatural will and power. He counsels
us as to what His will is, then He
gives us His supernatural power to
perform it in us.
As Proverbs 18:13 states, “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” As maturing Christians, we should find value in diverse views
challenging us to further study and to be open to additional perspectives. While we may not agree with all the details in each article, we see great value in them. These
articles are intended to stimulate discussion among the Koinonia Institute membership as well as our Personal Update subscribers.

FROM THE EDITOR
Dr. Gordon McDonald
Executive Editor, Personal UPDATE
IT IS OBVIOUS
F
OR MANY YEARS we have presented the perspective that the Church in America is
somewhat spoiled. What we call “persecution” here is only a vague distraction elsewhere
in the world. Those in the Middle East or Asia look at us with sympathy, not because of
any pain we suffer for standing up for our faith, but because we are so “misled” to not
understand what true persecution looks like.
Across the world, there are vast numbers of our brothers and sisters praying for real persecution
to begin within our borders. They neither do this lightly nor out of bitterness. They only want
us to come out of our delusion-created blindness and into the light of what it truly means to be
totally abandoned to Jesus.
We will have our chance. It is obvious that the world is rapidly “turning on” true Christianity.
The effort is happening with so much coordination and consistency that it reflects far more
than just human cultural changes. Clearly we are being targeted, slowly but surely, by principalities and powers, as well as by self-serving humans. The Church in America will not be spared
from what most of the world, for most of the last two thousand years, has had to endure. Our
turn is coming.
That should not induce fear. We are never alone. Never. There is an opportunity for victory and
ministry in every situation God presents us. There is power in the truth.
Tom Horn (one of our speakers at this year’s Strategic Perspectives conference—see page 20) has
graciously written an article this month to remind us of what we were
promised from the beginning and how fortunate we are to be able to
see this day coming.
Rejoice in this coming opportunity and remember: Jesus never fails!

n this article, we’re going to look at the Mazzaroth, the Hebrew name for the zodiac. Many scholars believe the word zodiac comes from the Greek zidiakòs kýklos meaning “a circle of
little animals.” The Sanskrit root word sodi, though, means “the way” and reflects the
Middle East understanding of the zodiac.
The Mazzaroth has nothing to do with astrology or any attempt to tell our futures
based on the stars. Rather, the Mazzaroth is a tool that uses the stars to tell a story.
The Hebrews knew their constellations. They were not to worship the stars, but the first chapter of Genesis states that when God

Stories in the Sky
It is amusing to see planetarium shows still spreading the notion
that the various pictures associated with the constellations were ancient
imaginings taken from the arrangement of the stars. If you have carefully
explored that conjecture, it is easily discarded as fanciful and absurd.
Have you ever tried to visualize a “lady chained to a chair” in the
bent-W known as Cassiopea? One can see Draco as a serpent-dragon
winding and bending between the Big and Little Dippers, but Sagittarius looks more like a teapot than an archer. And yet, the names of
the constellations tend to be consistent, with small variations, throughout different cultures around the world.

We also discover something else as we delve into these ancient records. We discover
ancient Persian and Arabian traditions that ascribe the invention of astronomy to Adam,
Seth and Enoch. Josephus credits the children of Seth with working to preserve the ancient

corrupted in a temple at Babel and became the
distorted soothsayer’s tool we see today in astrology.
Associated with each sign’s constellation are three other smaller constellations called
“decans” for a total of 36, each rising in the same area of the sky as their associated major
constellation. Every ten days, a different
decan is visible on the eastern horizon
just before sunrise, and 2100 years before

The pictures in the sky are not as important as their names, and the corrupted
Babylonian star names aren’t extremely
helpful, although we can see a hint of the
original names in a few places. The clue to
unraveling the original story is to understand the Hebrew names. We owe a debt
to E.W. Bullinger for his 1893 book The
Witness of the Stars and his careful exposition of the Hebrew constellation and star
names.

CONTENTS
ORDER
The Seed of the Virgin
The first sign of the Mazzaroth is known
best by her Latin name Virgo—the Virgin. In
the Mazzaroth, the Hebrew name of this constellation is Bethulah, which also means Virgin,
and she holds a branch in her hand (see graphic,
left).
That’s interesting. Why is the Virgin holding a branch in her hand? The brightest star
in the constellation is Spica, Latin for “ear of
grain.” The Hebrew name for the star, Tsemech,
means “branch” as does the Arabic name, Al
Zimach. In Egyptian, the star is Aspolia—“the
seed.”
There are 20 Hebrew words that can mean
“branch.” Tsemach is consistently associated with
the Messiah—the Branch who will sprout up
out of the root of David (Isaiah 4:2, Jeremiah
23:5, Zechariah 3:8). The reference to the grain is interesting. In the Gospel of John, Jesus
says:
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth
alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
John 12:24
If we can’t track the Hebrew names, the Arabic is usually very close, because the languages are similar. In Arabic, the whole constellation is called The Branch, and the other
bright stars in the constellation are Zavijaveh, “gloriously beautiful” and Al Mureddin, “who
shall have dominion” (Psalm 72:8). In Chaldean, this last star is Vindemiatrix, “son who
cometh.”
Bethulah/Virgo corresponds beautifully with Genesis 3:15 and Isaiah 7:14, the first
Biblical prophecy of the coming Messiah, born of the seed of the woman, born of a virgin.

Coma
The three decan constellations associated with Virgo are Coma, Centaurus, and Bootes.
In Hebrew, the root word Camah means “to long with desire” as when David says, “…my
flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is” (Psalm 63:1), and the derivative Comah means “the desired one.”
In the Egyptian Temple of Denderah,
The clue to unraveling
Coma is portrayed as a woman holding

a child. Bullinger quotes the Arabian

astronomer Albumazar saying of Coma,
names of the stars.
“There arises in the first Decan, as the
Persians, Chaldeans, and Egyptians and the two Hermes and Ascalius teach, a young woman,
whose Persian name denotes a pure virgin, sitting on a throne, nourishing an infant boy (the
boy, I say), having a Hebrew name, by some nations called IHESU…”4
That’s an odd visual, because virgins do not suckle babies. The ancient Egyptian name
for the constellation is Shes-nu, which means the “desired son.”
Centaurus
Another decan constellation associated with Virgo is Centaurus, and the centaur we
know from pagan mythology. Half-man, half-horse, a centaur is a being with two natures.
The name of the constellation in Hebrew is Bezah, which means “the despised”—as in Isaiah
53:3: “He is despised and
rejected of men…” Asmeath,
“sin offering,” was another
name for this constellation
in Hebrew, as in Isaiah
53:10: “Yet it pleased the
LORD to bruise him; he
hath put him to grief: When
thou shalt make his soul an
offering for sin...” Our Savior was a despised sin offering with two natures—God
and man.

CONTENTS
ORDER
Bootes
The third decan associated with Virgo is Bootes, a man walking rapidly with a spear in
his right hand and a sickle in his left. His name is a Greek variation on the Hebrew word Bo,
which means “to come.”
Arcturus, the brightest star in this constellation and the brightest north of the celestial
equator, is mentioned in Job 9:9 and 38:32. Its Hebrew name is `Ayish, from a root word
that means, “to come quickly” or “to hasten.” He is the Coming One. It is likely that the entire constellation’s original name was Arcturus.
By the time of the Greeks, Bootes is portrayed as a Plowman, holding his sickle. He is
also shown driving the bears of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor, or in recent centuries leading
the nearby greyhound constellation.
As a guardian, though, why does he carry a sickle? That’s the tool and weapon of the
farmer, not the hunter. Yet, according to Revelation 14, Jesus Christ does carry a sickle
in his right hand for the time of harvest (Revelation 14:14-15). After Arcturus, the next
brightest star in Bootes is called Necar—“the pierced one” or Merga, “who bruises.”

The Gospel in the Stars
Thus, we see in the constellation Virgo and her decans the framework for the story to follow. We see the Virgin suckling the greatly desired son, also called “the seed of the woman” and “the branch.”
We then see the two-natured teacher and prophet who was pierced
and sacrificed, and finally the Coming One, who will hurry with a sickle
in his hand as ready for a harvest.
“It is only one chapter out of twelve,” Bullinger writes, “but it
distinctly foreshadows the end—even ‘the sufferings of Christ and the
glory which should follow.’”5

In January 2014, the Pew Research Center (PRC)—a prestigious think tank based

shaping the world)—published Religious Hostilities Reach Six-Year High.
In this important report, the worldwide public-opinion surveyors chronicled
the steady growth of religious persecution

frequently directed against people of Christian faith. The sharpest increase was in the

known as the Arab Spring. That region’s score on the Social Hostilities Index rose from 5.4 in 2011 to 6.4 in 2012, three times the global
median.

Report from the Non-denominational Group Open Doors Says the
Number of Christians Martyred Around the World for Their Faith
Nearly Doubled in 2013” separately confirmed the discoveries of the
PRC report.
Besides the Middle East, the Pew findings also detail an escalation
in the United States from the lowest category of government restrictions on Christian expressions as of mid-2009 to an advanced category
in only three years, where it appears poised to continue upward at the
time of this article.

lecturer, radio host and
best selling author of
several books, including
his newest book, Blood

If recent activity is any indication, it may not be long before “one
nation under God” joins those red-listed countries where Bible-based
believers find themselves under the most severe discrimination.
Indeed, National Review Online recently posted a critical review by
Raymond Ibrahim, a Shillman fellow at the David Horowitz Freedom Center who cites the 2014 World Watch List (which ranks the
50 nations where Christians are most persecuted) to determine that “the
U.S. is the chief facilitator of the persecution of Christians around the
world today.”
While Ibrahim’s assertion mostly reflects American involvement in foreign conflicts,
examples of repression in the U.S. against people of Christian faith are growing and are easily
obtained online.
I found that a simple web search produces dozens of headlines and statistics in just a
few minutes, illustrating growing hostility to expressions of Christian faith in the United
States, such as CNN’s news report, “Legal Group Reports ‘Dramatic Increase’ in Hostility
toward Christian Students in Public Schools,” or WND’s interview, “General: U.S. Christians Targeted For Murder.”

of what will become one of the greatest threats ever raised against the authentic (born-again)
body of Christ—Religious Christians.
Cry “Havoc!” and Let Slip the Dogs of War
For some students of prophecy, the facts outlined here were not only predictable, but
were a prophesied prelude to a period in history wherein true believers will be “beheaded for
the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and [for] not worship[ing] the beast, neither
his image, neither [receiving] his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands” (Rev 20:4).
Yet when discussing this end-times scenario, and in particular the subject of rigorous
persecution, often overlooked is the role that religious “Christians” are being shaped today
to play against the true body of Christ. The very idea could seem beyond credulity if it were
not for what the inspired texts themselves convey.
Jesus predicted a time when “whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service,”
and in Matthew 24, He told His disciples:
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and
shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all [groups of
people] for my name’s sake. And then shall many be
offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate
one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and
shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound,
the love of many shall wax cold.
Matthew 24:9-12

Elsewhere in the Bible this
coming era of Great Tribulation is described as when the
Antichrist will have power “to
make war with the saints, and
to overcome them” (Rev 13:7;
Dan 7:21).
The Second Beast
Immediately following
those verses, there is description of a second beast with “two horns like a lamb” who speaks
“as a dragon” (Rev 13:11).
Most evangelical scholars identify this second “beast” as the leader of the end-times religious institution who will be under Satan’s control. The phrase “like a lamb” indicates he
will pretend to represent the Lamb of God and the Christian church, while the expression
“speaks as a dragon” identifies the devilish source of his authority and power.
This final global super-church leader will be a murderer not unlike the Antichrist, and
will cause “that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed” (Rev
13:15).
Thus the book of Revelation outlines how the political figure of the Antichrist derives
ultranational dominance from the world’s religious faithful through the influence of an ecclesiastical leader (also called the False Prophet) who

saints of God.
In the days between now and when these men of
sin are identified, this reality—that latter-day churchgoers will soon believe they are serving the kingdom
of God by participating in or approving the death
of conservative Christians—is not a concept lost on
all contemporary churchmen. There are those who
see things taking shape even now for a war that will
eventually pit religious “Christians” against the real
members of the body of Christ.

Christian vs. Christian
For example, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, stated early in 2014 that
“modern Christians” will now be “called to suffer and even die for the faith” in a new era “of
martyrdom.” But a clarifying document that was not supposed to be made public and which
was authored by a senior advisor to Welby’s predecessor details how such a time of great persecution is coming because true believers will, according to the letter, be driven underground
by liberal Christians and will become a dissident association comparable to resistance movements during World War II.
Not long ago, Dr. Chuck Missler made me aware that Dr. J. Vernon McGee, one of
America’s most beloved Bible teachers of the past century, taught the same and clarified that
these true Biblical believers would ultimately be driven “underground” by none other than
latter-day denominational churches.
Another of the twentieth century’s most perceptive writers was pastor and author A. W.
Tozer (who was not usually given to prognostication), who likewise wrote:
Let me go out on a limb a little bit and prophesy. I see the time coming when all the holy men
whose eyes have been opened by the Holy Spirit will desert worldly Evangelicalism, one by
one. The house [institutional Christianity] will be left desolate and there will not be a man

There is presently a groundswell across America—as
in many other parts of the world—in which people are meeting in small groups in homes
during the week, rediscovering the Bible, and enjoying a more intimate fellowship than they
find in “Sunday church.” Many of these are encouraged and supported by their formal church
associations; others simply meet independently. This is especially true of many young people,
to whom “Sunday church” is a spectator sport, and who seek more personal participation and
accountability.
After all, this is the way it all began: twelve guys along the seashore with their Teacher. All the
remarkable episodes of the early church in the book of Acts occurred in homes. It wasn’t until
the fourth century that edifices began to be erected, when Christians exchanged the rags of
the caves for the silks of the court. And committed ambassadors were replaced with hirelings,
inserted between an attendee and the Word itself.
In more than sixty years as a practicing Christian, the place that I’ve always seen people really
grow spiritually is within small group Bible studies: where they can ask questions and hold
each other accountable.

Dr. Missler goes on to list caveats to be considered in small groups, including the need
to network and not become insular, as well as the need to “systematically spawn new leadership, and not become an end in themselves.”

This recognition of vibrant Christianity growing outside the walls of Western religious
centers offers hope that the true body of Christ always has and will survive and even triumph
during times of persecution. This includes the coming war between Christian vs. Christian.

(known in the Bible as Armageddon), a deepening antagonism is developing worldwide against
conservative Christians. This trend may point
to one of the most overlooked aspects of Bible
prophecy—a war that ultimately pits born-again
believers against religious Christians.
In Blood on the Altar: The Coming War Between
Christian vs. Christian, leading national and
international researchers, scholars, authors, and
speakers share urgent information and specialized knowledge about this coming war and what
you can do to prepare for it.

The attack on the Biblical family unit has never been greater. The
pervasive influences of secular philosophy, psychology and sociology have driven the traditional family unit to the brink of extinction.
Like a spiritual tsunami, the influences of modern moral relativism
are rapidly eroding the confidence of many Christians in Biblical
foundational truths concerning marriage, family and parenting.

small group! So, here’s what we are doing:
We gather together at 6:45 pm and end at
8:15 pm. One thing that I think is important is to begin on time and to end on time!
We then divide our evening into three sections. We have a weekly reading schedule
that our group receives daily, so when they
come on Tuesday night we are prepared to
answer our pre-assigned discussion questions.
We use our three Koinonia Institute pillars as the foundation to our evening. In other
words, we have a time to discuss world events, this is our ISSACHAR section, then we head
into our BEREAN time where we have a short prepared devotional from our reading, and
then we launch into our group discussion. We conclude our evening with our KOINONOS
pillar, which for us is a set time for intercessory prayer. We have a prayer list that is connected to our reading schedule.
Here is an example from a recent Tuesday night small group meeting:

There is no doubt that my friend—and Aronofsky—needed guidance and perhaps even faith

make it easier for him, as a conservative evangelical Christian, to do more movies that touch upon
Christian and Biblical themes.
With regard to Roma and Mark, the situation
seems even more mean-spirited. One attack article
claimed The Passion of the Christ was more Biblical, when in fact The Passion was based on visions a

several times on sermons that have gotten most of their theology wrong.

As Professor Alvin J Schmidt
The Apostle Paul
points out in the book How Christianity Changed the World, one major reason was that people knew the Christians by their love and wanted to convert.
Did the people who criticized Mel Gibson love him? Or, those who criticize any of the
Christians working behind the scenes in Hollywood?
Most Biblical movies, and most movies dealing with Heaven, contain things you won’t
find in the pages of the Bible. To make a really dramatic movie that millions of people will
go see requires at least some dramatic artistry. Furthermore, it’s really easy to poke holes in
almost any movie, whatever the subject matter.
So, let us commend the good while gently instructing those who might have gone astray
so that we may encourage everyone to focus on the Good News of Jesus Christ that enlightens us all.

To him who overcomes “I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat
down with My Father on His throne.
Revelation 3:21
Over and over again in Scripture we see the wonderful and yet terrible consequences
of man’s free will, enabling him to either follow God or follow self. David tearfully humbles
himself at the feet of God (Psalm 51), but Saul proudly plots to get his own way (1 Samuel
15). Joseph continually turns away from Potiphar’s wife (Genesis 39:7-9), but Samson rushes into the arms of Delilah (Judges 16).
At the exact moment John the Beloved is choosing to lay his head upon Jesus’ breast,
Judas is choosing to betray Him (John 13:23-27). Mary of Bethany spends a year’s income
to anoint Jesus with costly perfume (Mark 14:3-9), yet Ananias and Sapphira lie in order
to withhold a small portion of their income (Acts 5:1-11). A poor widow gives her last few
coins to the Lord (Luke 21:2-4), but the rich young ruler won’t let go of his great wealth
(Luke 18:18-25). Parthian magistrates travel a great distance to worship the babe in a manger (Luke 2:1-2), but the Pharisees won’t walk six miles into Bethlehem to meet their Messiah!
Our choice to follow our own thoughts and emotions over what God is prompting is
where God’s Spirit gets quenched and sin begins. Any choice to disobey God causes the door
of our hearts to be shut and God’s Life (in our hearts) blocked from coming forth.

our will (our free

our hearts) to flow out into our
lives. This passageway or doorway
can be “opened,” so God’s Life can
flow easily; or it can be “closed,”
and God’s Life quenched.
Our will in the Greek is
called dianoia. Dia means “channel” and noya means “of the
mind.” And this is exactly what
our will is, the channel or conduit
for God’s Spirit to flow from our
hearts out into our lives. In other
words, our choice is the key to
whose life will be lived in our soul.
Faith choices allow God’s Life
to come forth; emotional choices
quench God’s Life.
Here’s a perfect example.
Wendy

cally listening to them. She thought this long drive
would be a perfect opportunity to finish the series, so she took them along with her. As she
became so engrossed in what she was hearing on the tapes (all about our constant, momentby-moment “faith” choices), she didn’t realize she was nearly out of gas and that she had just
driven past the last gas station in Durango. There would not be another station for 40 miles.
COVER
CONTENTS
ORDER
Sure enough, about 15 or 20 miles
outside of Durango, she ran out of gas.
The car literally stopped. She pulled over
to the side of the road and became totally
distraught as she realized her precarious
predicament. Since she was going to a
business appointment, she was all dressed
up (heels and all), thus there was no way
she could walk any distance. And even if
she could have, there was no place to go
for help. The few cars that did pass her,
she said, terrified her. They were mostly
men with beards and long hair, driving
4x4 trucks with shotguns on racks in their rear windows. (Sounds like our cars and trucks in
Idaho.)
As she sat there contemplating her situation, God impressed upon her heart what she
had been listening to on those tapes—about making faith choices (non-feeling choices), to
give any and all situations over to God. It became apparent to her that even in this scary
situation, she had a choice. She could either become paralyzed with fear (which she was already beginning to experience) and make emotional choices to follow the flesh; or, she could
make faith choices, to relinquish herself to God and trust Him to perform His perfect Will
through her (just like she was hearing on the tapes).
She decided to try the latter. Without “feeling” anything, she chose by faith to give God
her fear and apprehension and to trust Him to protect her and make a way for her. After her
prayer, she decided to try the ignition one more time. She gently turned it on and, surprisingly, the motor sputtered and then started. She was ecstatic! She put the car into first gear
and crept down the highway on the far right side. The farther she went, the more elated she
became. She had made the appropriate faith choices, God had heard her prayers, and He was
now performing a miracle right before her eyes.
Wendy drove that “empty” car all the way (about 20 miles) to the next city. She told
me later that when she would come to a hill, she simply made more faith choices to commit
herself to God, softly stepped on the gas pedal, and there always seemed to be just enough
“oomph” to make it over the hill.

CONTENTS
ORDER
When she finally did arrive at the next city, she stopped at the first gas station feeling
absolutely overjoyed. The gas station attendant even asked her if she was all right, because she
looked so radiant. She was able to witness to him and tell him the whole story.
Wendy made it to her appointment a little late, but nevertheless, she arrived safely and
learned an incredible lesson about God’s faithfulness. Now, I don’t recommend putting God
to the test and going out of town without gas. But, to me, this is a perfect example of the importance of faith choices in our lives. When we trust God enough to constantly choose His
way, we free Him to perform miracles. When we don’t, we quench His working in our lives.
God Also Has Two Kinds of Will
When we trust God
enough to constantly
choose His way, we
free Him to perform
miracles. When we
don’t, we quench His
working in our lives.
It’s interesting because God also has two different kinds of will. In the Greek they are called thelo,
which means His instinctive, emotional desires (or that
which He takes pleasure in); and boule, which means
His planned purposes (or the resolve of His Mind).
Now, of course, for God, both of these kinds of will are
“perfect.”
Since we are created in the image of God, we, too, have two kinds of will. But, unlike
God, what we desire and what we want is not always perfect! The Greek words for these two
kinds of “human” will are thelema, which means our own natural, emotional desires (things
we take pleasure in); and boulomai, which means our “disciplined willing,” or our choices free
of any emotion—faith choices.
What this says is, we can either make an emotional choice (thelema) and be carried away
on the tide of emotion by
our own uncontrolled feelings, negative thoughts,
and self-centered desires
(just like an unbeliever); or,
we can make a faith choice
(boulomai), a disciplined
choice, free of any feelings

our own strong, self-centered emotions) to follow what God has prompted us to do, and
then rely upon His strength to perform those choices in our lives.
We must remember that our emotional choices, because they are felt and because they
are experienced, are often much stronger in intensity than our faith choices. In other words,
emotional choices are ones that we “want” to follow and we “want” to act upon. Thus, choosing to put our real feelings and emotions aside and making faith choices can be extremely
difficult.
Consequently, we must continually remind ourselves that, yes, faith choices are difficult
to make and, yes, they go against every natural “feeling” that is in us, but if we succumb to
making an emotional choice, we will open ourselves up to the clutches of Satan and end up
in bondage to our flesh.
Faith choices—even though they are more
difficult to make than emotional choices—are

people (if they so choose to be)—free from themselves, free from other’s responses, free from their
circumstances and Satan’s control! This is what Calvary was all about!
As 2 Corinthians 3:17 states, “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [freedom].” That freedom comes in the form of a constant choice!
Life, therefore, is really just a series of ongoing choices. For the believer, it’s a momentby-moment choice either to follow our own thoughts and desires or say like Jesus, “not my
will, but Thine.” How wonderful it would be, if we could just choose once a day—say, just in
the morning—to stay Spirit filled. Wouldn’t that be great! But, no, God has made the Christian walk a moment-by-moment exercise.
A Moment-by-Moment Walk
Here’s a beautiful example of how important our second-by-second choices are. Sanctification for all of us is a process and it’s made up of a thousand daily choices.

her symptoms of anxiety

her husband, Phil, knew better.
Naomi ended up having a complete mental breakdown. God kept her safe, even though
she tried to end her life. Phil, who works at the sheriff’s department, was across town when
he heard about his wife’s collapse. He rushed home to be at her side, to love her, to care for
her and to keep her from trying the same thing again. God finally rescued her from the valley
of death. Confusion had permeated her mind, but through the loving arms of her husband

to God. She found when she made those faith choices, with God’s help, she could go on

The key, as Naomi writes, is depending upon the supernatural power and authority that
God has given us to choose His will, regardless of our feelings or our circumstances, and realize with confidence that no matter what occurs in our lives, He is still in control.
Our Will and the Power to Perform It
Before we close, let’s clarify one more thing about faith choices. What good is knowing
we can make a faith choice, if we don’t understand that God has also given us the supernatural ability to perform that choice in our lives? In other words, we not only have God’s
authority to choose His will, we also have His strength and His power to accomplish that will
in our lives. This critical area of our makeup is called our willpower or our volition—it’s our
will, and then, the power to perform our will.
As Christians, we have God’s supernatural will and power. First, He counsels us as to
what His will is, and then He gives us His supernatural power to perform His will in our
lives. (Philippians 2:13) In other words, He hasn’t left us incapable of carrying out His will.
He has given us all that we need. Only the choice is ours.
As Christians, God has given us incredible freedom to follow His Spirit and believe
and trust in Him, or to follow our flesh, believe and trust in ourselves. He has given us the
authority to open up and abandon ourselves to His will; or, to shut ourselves off and follow
what we think, feel and desire.
It all comes down to our own choice: Are we willing to set aside what we think, feel and
want to do, in order to do what God asks? Or will we yield to our own self-centered thoughts
and emotions and do what we want?
Again, the choice is continually ours!
