The Four Masters Of The Will
By Zecharias E. Castro
PART ONE
The will is a faculty of the soul, just
like the mind and heart are. These three faculties were fashioned by God for us
to serve the one whom we love. That's the first master of the will, the one we
love. And the one we love is the one whose concerns and thoughts we love to
have constantly running through our hearts and minds.
If our hearts and minds are always
preoccupied with what is the best course of action for us to take for upholding
and lifting high the honor of our Creator's glorious Name(i.e.
representation) as we live to promote the body, soul and spirit of our neighbor
then the one we love is God because we are following what from the very
beginning He told us to do. On the other hand, if our hearts and minds are
constantly preoccupied with what course of action is best for us to take to
build up and maintained a great Name for ourselves as we live to acquire the
best things our neighbor's body, soul and spirit can produce for the sake of
our own promotion, then the one we love is Satan because we are following what
beginning with Adam he told us to do.
The 2nd and 3rd masters
of the will are the heart and mind. Before the will can execute a decision it
has to follow what the heart and mind perceived to be the best choice for us to
make.
