The TWO WORDS That Give YOU COMPLETE CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFE

"All you need to say is simply 'Yes' or 'No'; anything beyond this comes from the evil one. 
Matthew 5:37

From now on, if you will say and mean YES,  and if you will say and mean NO, you will have complete control over your life.  Your relationship to God, men and women, and Satan should be defined by these two words.  If this happens you will always have control over the one person you are supposed have control:  YOURSELF.  These two words are these boundaries of reality; accept the boundaries, and you will have true liberty and invincibility.

ACCEPT GOD'S BOUNDARIES UNCONDITIONALLY
God has the Supreme Authority to establish every boundary.  He has the absolute right as our Creator to say YES or NO to us.  You can 't make God do anything.  If you accept this, you will sleep soundly at night and enjoy each day in God' wonderful world.

ACCEPT YOURS AND PEOPLE'S BOUNDARIES IMPARTIALLY
You can say YES or NO to whenever you want to say YES or NO.  To every person and situation, and even to God Himself.  Now your YES has consequences that you willingly choose.  So does your NO.  But that's your power, your self-control.  Nothing happens to you that you can't say YES or NO to.  This is also true for every person in your life.  The way to love your neighbor as yourself is to accept her YES or his NO like you want your YES or NO to be accepted.

REJECT SATAN'S TRANSGRESSIONS OF BOUNDARIES ABSOLUTELY
Like Jesus said, anything other than a simple YES or NO is from the evil one.  Like in kindergarten when I wanted a girlfriend, I just wrote a note like this:

I like you.  Do you like me?  Check the box:  YES           NO

Simple. Until 6th grade. Then there was the MAYBE box, introduced by the Devil!  Maybe!  You know if you like someone or not!

That digression is an illustration of the confusion of Satan, the one who hates every YES from God, and who is furious with every NO from God.  Those who follow Satan won't take NO for an answer, wanting you to say YES when you want to say NO, and wanting you to say NO when you want to say yes.

But from now on, you can take complete control over your life using two simple words:
  1. YES
  2. NO.
