Turn Left? or Right?

Which way is the right way? How do you know which way to go?

Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left. -Isaiah 30:21 NKJV

The Word of God is full of scripture that clearly shows us that it is God’s will that we have divine guidance when making the decisions that we need to make in life. Since this is true, then why are so many Christians wandering around in the “desert”, going around in circles never getting anywhere and constantly disappointed and discontent?

We have access to all the direction that we need when we need it through the Holy Spirit. In John 14 Jesus uses the words “another comforter” when He refers to the Holy Spirit coming into the life of every believer. One meaning of this Greek word can be actually translated “guide”. He is our guide! He gives us direction as long as we are relying on Him to lead us. It depends on us more than it depends on Him. He is ready to lead us but we must invoke Him. We are His sheep and we know His voice. Expect Him to speak…then listen. He will lead…will you follow?

Head Led or Spirit Led?

What guidance system are you using today? Is it your head? Or His Spirit?

Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

God has provided His Spirit to lead us everyday and in every decision that we must make. Far too often we only depend on our mental ability to make “sound” decisions. Common sense “rules” our life. We must be logical and do things according to some “text book” or our prior training or experience…we think.

When we don’t rely on the Holy Spirit we are left to every other source of guidance. Any other source is totally inferior to the Holy Spirit! He is the Spirit of Truth and will lead us and guide us into all the truth! He knows the future and can lead us in every step that we take BUT we must resolve to move out of our head and into our spirit.

We have to leave the shore of fleshly methods and swim out into the depths of the spirit where God can show us things that we have not seen before. Face it, we are not smart enough to lead ourselves. We need the Leader, the Helper, the Guide to show us the way. He is waiting for us to follow.

Let’s go!

Spiritual Discernment

Trying to “wrap your mind around” something spiritual? …You may hurt yourself.

1 Cor. 2:14 – But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

We need more spiritual discernment and less “opinions”. Allowing the Spirit of God to reveal the things of God to us requires time in His presence and His Word.

Our lives should not be based on what we “think” is right for us. We should know what God wants us to do and then DO IT. Knowing what God wants you to know is the key to being equipped with the right plan and it comes directly from His Spirit. Instead of going to the phone, go to His Throne! Like Jer. 33:3 says – call unto Him and He will answer you and show you great and mighty things that you are not yet aware of. He desires to reveal things to us but most of the time we are looking in the wrong places.

Being spiritually “keen” does not come overnight. It requires training. Spiritual training in the School of the Holy Spirit. Learn about Him and spend time with Him. He will show you all that God has given you and lead you every step of the way!

Spirit Filled, Spirit Led

How full are you?

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, – Ephesians 5:18 NKJV

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. – Romans 8:14 NKJV

We are able to be led by the Spirit of God to the degree that we are filled by the Spirit of God. If you are wandering around not knowing where to go or how to get there, get full of the Spirit of God! BE FILLED!

We are instructed to walk in the spirit and not after the flesh. I have found in my own life that it is so much easier to walk in the spirit when I am filled with the Spirit of God. Being filled with the Holy Spirit is not a once in a lifetime occurrence. There is one initial infilling but many subsequent refillings. The number one way to be refilled is to enter into the presence of God and yield yourself the very same way that you first received the infilling of the Holy Spirit. Reach up to God and out in faith, begin to worship Him from the heart and in other tongues and out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water that will refresh and renew you!

As you are full of the Holy Spirit expect to become more sensitive to His voice and leading. He desires to show you which way to go and what steps to take! Stay filled with Him and direction comes much easier.

Torn Veil, Access Granted!

You may enter now…

Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, – Matthew 27:51

When Jesus gave Himself in the crucifixion He opened the door to the Holy of Holies. There was a manifestation in the natural realm (world) and the spiritual realm (world), the earth quaked and the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom. That act of obedience forever opened the door to the heart of our Father God.

We have access to the very presence of God whenever we choose to enter. Jesus sacrifice and His blood provides access 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. God has an “open door policy”.

Few people understand and believe this and even fewer people actually act on this and take full advantage of this supernatural access.

We live in a day where people will stand in line for hours on Black Friday (the day after Thanksgiving) to burst through the doors of a store to get 30% off of their big ticket item (while knocking down everyone in their way)…And others will pay their friends money to wait in line to get in the door to buy tickets for the greatest concert in the world. With all this rush and passion to get something that is really worth nothing…we have access to the very riches of heaven but refuse to take advantage of the the access that Jesus has provided. Most would rather be satisfied with the trinkets of the world than the treasures of heaven.

Quit waiting for God to do something for you and go boldly into His Throne Room through the blood of Jesus to obtain grace and help in time of need. The door is forever open!
