That is what differentiates man from other creatures, you can choose to follow God or to go back to your old life, to serve Him fully or partially. He said I place before you, life and death and He counsels you to choose life. Deuteronomy 30:15-20. Each person will have different temptations. God will allow them because He must give you the right to make a choice, this is the first thing you encounter when you become born again, choice. Jesus asked Peter after he had gone fishing again if he loved him, this is because he had to make a choice if he would choose Jesus or his trade. John 21. Never you think it will not come, it will always come until we reach the fullness. We must resolve at all times to choose God, to choose light. It might cost you friends, family or even your life. He will make the choice clear, that you will make an intelligent choice. Hence it is said that whatsoever is born of God cannot willfully sin because the Seed of God is within Him. 1 John 3:9. The seed of God is light, you cannot choose darkness. God called light day and the darkness He called night. Whatsoever you call, you have mastery over it. Once a man can begin to assign names to these things, he has come into a level of conquest, of victory. May this be our portion. Because you have called darkness a name, you govern it. Whatever name you call them, that is what they are. Darkness is night and it is not a time for a man. Because of the limitations the night brings, you don’t love the night, you love the day. You gain mastery over it, you can separate the two of them and choose light. Once you choose light, you become a child of the day. 1 Thessalonians 5:5. He trains you to use your senses to discern between good and evil. Hebrews 5:14. We must exercise our spiritual senses to discern good and evil, this is by taking in the word of God, Romans 12:2.
In Genesis 1:6-8, God introduced another thing that is going to bring about a clear distinction, the firmament. The firmament reveals His power, where He stands upon, Psalm 150:1. He brings His government over your life. You begin to feel the weight of it. Hitherto, it has been a choice, but when He has seen that there is faithfulness in the right choice, He installs His government. It is a beautiful thing and it makes choices very easy. You are empowered to make goodly choices, to choose light. This firmament separates the waters above from the waters beneath. When one is born again, the Spirit comes alive and the soul remains, the firmament separates between the Spirit and soul and sets His government over your soul. Ezekiel 1:22-26 describes this.
