We're going to go back to Genesis 7:4. This is the first place ashah is used in the Bible, even though asah is used frequently before this time. In Genesis 7:4, He's talking about the flood.
Can any man cause it to rain forty days and forty nights? Can any man resurrect people? Well, just as surely, when God says He is doing the creating and causing obedience, I think we should give Him the credit for it and not think that we're doing it ourselves. It is the influence of what God does that actuates His kind and level of life in us. It is by His spirit that He brings about the changes in our perspectives, affections, and passions that influence us away from choices and attitudes that are foolish, irresponsible, self-centered, and immature.
