The Lord formed and fashioned me in my mother's womb. I was woven together with His positives - His YES.  Hence any power in my life will always be a YES.  My way to the Kingdom is a path full of YES. 

Religion teaches us a long list of NO's.  We are taught to barricade ourselves within a plethora of NO's in an attempt to become holy.  NO to this temptation, NO to that temptation.  NO to self, NO to sin, NO to evil desires, and NO to the devil.  Yet I am built on the premise of YES.  The very make-up of my body is YES not NO. My NO as a preeminent force (a living directive) is pointless, futile, and ultimately deceptive.

My resisting the devil is more about my YES to God than my NO to Satan.  James 4:7 says, "So be subject to God.  Resist the devil (stand firm against him), and he will flee from you."  "Be Subject to God" - this is your YES to God.  Everything is YES and "amen," not NO and "I won't."  I am a positive being.  Life is plus not minus, multiplication not division.  Life begets life!  To structure our life according to a NO will leave us destitute. 

For the Son of God, Christ Jesus (the Messiah), …    
was not Yes and No; but in Him it is [always the divine] Yes.
The Amplified Bible (2 Cor. 1:19)

For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!”           
And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for His glory. 
New Living Translation. (2 Cor. 1:20)
