The Choice Is Yours

Joshua 24:15 KJV
15 And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
Isaiah 59:19 NKJV
19 So shall they fear The name of the Lord from the west, And His glory from the rising of the sun; When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him.

Choosing The Standard Your Family Lives By

STANDARD: Flag or banner usually used by the military to identify groups of soldiers or a central flag to rally all the soldiers at one time (Num. 1:52; 2:2; 10:14, 18). It is also used figuratively of God (Isa. 59:19). See Banner.

—‘measurement’ (“standard measure,”

MEASURE, FORM, FLESH; NEB also PATTERN (Rom. 6:17)

The term “standard” is used by the RSV in two different senses: (1) a symbol mounted on a pole and used as an emblem for group identification, as a marker for a rallying point (i.e., an ensign), or as an object of worship; (2) a criterion established by custom or authority.

Isaiah 11:10 KJV
10 And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse, which shall stand for an ensign of the people; to it shall the Gentiles seek: and his rest shall be glorious.

standards. The ethical *norms that serve to define the nature of obligatory and permitted actions, or to guide human beings toward *right and away from wrong behaviors. Moral standards may also designate the general understandings of what constitutes decent or morally admissible behavior that characterize a particular *society.

Today I need you to be aware that what happens in your home is a direct reflection of What your standard is, good bad or indifferent someone is in charge, some allows the governing force, energy or Spirt that sets the tone. And Someone gave it permission to rest in the house.
Mark 3:20–25 NLT
20 One time Jesus entered a house, and the crowds began to gather again. Soon he and his disciples couldn’t even find time to eat. 21 When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. “He’s out of his mind,” they said. 22 But the teachers of religious law who had arrived from Jerusalem said, “He’s possessed by Satan, the prince of demons. That’s where he gets the power to cast out demons.” 23 Jesus called them over and responded with an illustration. “How can Satan cast out Satan?” he asked. 24 “A kingdom divided by civil war will collapse. 25 Similarly, a family splintered by feuding will fall apart.

25 And if a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand.
Now Look at your neighbor that’s a tad bit cuter than you, and tell them The Choice is yours...

Joshua 24:15 KJV

On The divided house principle: My wife and I agreed when i first got save that God would be the center of all decisions, directions, advancements, promotions, set backs, hurts, sickness etc.
In other words our World revolves around the will of God for our life.

This Standard Has kept us Consistent Christians for 29 Years. Its hard because we don’t want loved ones mad at us, but I’d rather please God and disappoint you.
I am not sure if ya’ll ready for this type of preaching.....

23 And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?
Why is it so many problems in Christian Homes, its because you first have the cast the devil out you before you can get it out your house…
Satan can’t cast out Satan…
IF Christ is going to be Lord, it will require many of us to repent over the spirits we have given access to our homes.
Repentance: Is the changing of the Mind: In other words God i was wrong in they way i was thinking concerning this issues and my mind is changed.
Romans 12:1–2 KJV
1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

AND IF YOU AIN’T Got no blood on that banner im talking about the saviors blood, you are in trouble.
