Before You Make
Any DECISION
You Make A
PRE-Decision

“First a desire is conceived,
And then it can lead to sin”

James 1:15
(Paraphrased)

pre-decision Whenever we do something seriously wrong, it is never done at the spur of the moment. Bad actions always First Start In Our Mind As A THOUGHT. In other words:

Before we make a DECISION,
We always FIRST Make A PRE-DECISION
.

Temptations come from one of two places – either out of our hearts desire, or from the voices of evil from the spiritual realm.

But how can we overcome this??

The solution is to ALSO make a 'pre-decision' to examine and Guard Your Thoughts, and to do that start by getting into the habit of immediately offering up all questionable thoughts to the Holy Spirit of God. When we train our spirit and mind this way it shines a bright light on temptation, and the true darkness of those 'pre-decisions' will quickly become apparent. Then reassert your pre-decision to NOT act on that thought!

Temptations Are NOT Sinful and thank God that’s true! Everyone gets tempted, but as today’s scripture says, it’s only when that first-thought is conceived and is Put Into Practice when it leads to a result in doing something we should never have done.

Friend, make a decision to begin each day making a PRE-decision to listen to what is right and true, and mistakes you were about to make will not happen.
