God asked me this, this morning. It was for me but also for us all. This is from our time together this morning...
It is not an easy thing as humans to follow blindly an “invisible” God and even less easy in the day and age which we live. We have such a great task to accomplish in this life, day, and age. Yet it seems almost impossible to do that with any amount of success when many of us in the church are addicted to “knowing” the future.
I equate it to the horse with blinders analogy- the horse must get the job done. If the master has been good, has cared for the horse, loved it and taught it that it can trust his guiding hand for the areas it cannot see the the job of the horse is easily accomplished and the horse is safer for it.
In so many ways this sticks out to me for the job God has for me to do. If I allow this world to sap my energies from the commands God has given me, I will be slow to act or fearful in my actions and fear can cause me to doubt the steps the master is asking me to take. I know His voice and I know His leading and touch. But if my eyes are causing me fear and panic I may never take the first step necessary or I may misstep, avoiding a spot, I should have stepped on.
I know this flies against our common sense and we also have the example of all the “sheep” blindly following the leftist agenda. What I will say is this... WHOSE SHEEP ARE YOU? It is not about being a sheep. It’s about who is your master. We all have one- you are not your own master. Many will find that out in the moments after their the last day of life.
God told me recently, “trust I (God) will lead, provide, and protect you!” I have been doing that more and more every day since that time. And I can see His hand leading me and accomplishing those very things He said he would do; lead, provide and protect. He has shown me I can trust Him!
You see, God’s ways are not always or ever our ways. We do not get to decide truth. Sometimes He tells us to go to the store to buy wonder bread but when we get there He says no buy Aunt Millies, lol. That’s funny but it’s true! Sometimes we argue “but we’ve seen the recipe and it takes wonder bread!!!” And we need to let God be God in our lives- it is His choice we need to accept and make. This is so crucial peeps, especially for today.
We must always understand God’s written word will never change. His spirit will always move in line with His written word. We must follow the leading of His spirit and not lose faith or trust in Him, even if we have been down this road before and He says go left or right or stop or go forward faster. We need to follow His lead, even if He has changed His mind from what we felt He originally spoke to us. God can change His mind if He wants to peeps- that is truly His prerogative! But it will always be in line with His word.
God is speaking today! If we will but listen, we will hear clearly what He is saying. Let us move into the time where God will ADD days to our life, not being cut short in our determined time upon this earth, day and age, because we have listened and obeyed His voice trusting His leading. Believing that He will change His mind concerning each of us and all of us as a ministry family, His remnant, so we will not be included in His plans for the wicked!
He is God, we will follow where He leads. He has given us His spirit now- it is far better than a cloud or pillar of fire- we can trust Him. We are going to the promised land!!!
Let’s start getting our hearts ready. Have a great day and be of good cheer because our God is for us!
Love you all,
