BEING HEADSTRONG

Dear One,
     A person can be headstrong in a positive way and a person can be headstrong in a negative way.
     A person who is headstrong in a negative way will be stubborn, rebellious, rigid,  unteachable and unreasonable, which results in being a loser in life with no sense of living peacefully in a community with others.
     A person who is headstrong in a positive way will be determined, goal oriented, diligent, flexible, teachable and reasonable, which will result in being a winner in life. with skills which will enable the person living peacefully with others.
     My first disciples had to be determined, diligent, goal oriented, teachable, willing to listen to the teachings of Jesus, diligent in obeying what He asked of them and they were determined to withstand the persecutions that were heaped upon them.
     The secret to being headstrong in a positive way is to stay humble and teachable, yet determined to seek My wisdom and knowledge above everything else. 
     Being headstrong in a negative way is to be prideful, unteachable and inflexible.
     The humble inherit My blessings but pride goes before a fall.  Being headstrong with pride takes you on a downward spiral to the bottom.  Being humble and teachable takes you on an upward path to the top where success in every area of life is enjoyed.
     Paul said he strived to attain the high calling of Christ, putting His eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of his faith.
     Being headstrong negatively is from hell. 
     Being headstrong positively is part of My kingdom coming to earth in your life.
                                             Love, God
