BEING LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND NOT YOUR NATUAL SENSES.

 DON'T BE LED BY YOUR NATURAL SENSES, BUT INSTEAD BE LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.

Recently I encountered a situation when I heard the Holy Spirit tell me to go visit someone.

My natural senses said you can do that later, but the Holy Spirit said, no! go now.

1Corinthians 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.

Is your Spirit in tune with the Holy Spirit?

Beloved, listen to the Holy Spirit, not your natural mind.  Our natural mind will lead us astray.

That is why we are told in God's word to renew our mind. We pick up all kinds of thoughts from living in this world.

The enemy will try to miss-direct you when God is trying to bring blessing to His children.

There are times when it seems inconvenient for you, but to be on God's time clock will bring blessing.

  I found out later that the home I went to had been praying for a certain thing, and I had that certain thing with me as directed by the Holy Spirit.


Years ago I was vacuuming my rug and I heard the Lord say go to this place that was 20 miles away.

I obeyed the voice only to find out that the lady was about to commit suicide.  

Her emotions were in shambles and she had no more hope. 

Not only did she live, she lives for Jesus today.

Beloved, God's timing is never convenient.

He chooses things that we would not.  He chooses people that we would overlook.

Isaiah 55:8-9.

 "For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," says the Lord.

  For as the heavens are higher than your ways,  And My thoughts than your thoughts.

It makes you wonder how many times the Lord spoke something to us and we thought, I can do that later.

I have taught for years that Satan pushes and the Holy Spirit gently leads.  However there are times that the Holy Spirit is very firm with us because God's timing is everything.

Still gently leading.

There will always be fruitfulness connected to obedience.

Jesus waited to go to Lazarus. All on God's timing.

The bible is full of stories that reveal to us that God is always on time with His plan. He has eternity in mind.

Philippians 4;6-7

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to God, and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

Notice in this scripture, we are told that God's peace surpasses our understanding.

It is our natural mind that surpasses our understanding. Our spiritual mind understands all things.

Beloved, if you have received Jesus as your Savior and Lord, and have asked the Holy Spirit to fill you and teach you, you will be on God's timing.

You will learn to listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit.

You will bear much fruit for the kingdom of God.

Ask the Holy Spirit to open your spiritual ears.

He will.

God bless your day

Jesus loves you

Love in Jesus

Joy

Yes, it is so important to be in tune with the Holy Spirit. When we aren’t, or when we don’t do what God is telling us to do , we can experience great heartache.

DOES IT MATTER WHO PREACHES THE GOSPEL, AS LONG AS THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED?

 G O S P E L= GOD'S OWN SON PROVIDED ETERNAL LIFE. This is the true gospel,  the good news!! What are we to conclude about this matter? Paul makes it clear, that whoever preaches Christ and the gospel, it doesn't matter, as long as the Gospel gets preached. Philippians 1:15-16 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill.  The former preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains, but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the Gospel. What then? Only that in everyway, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes and will rejoice. Beloved, there are all kinds of preachers out there, but their motives are not our business. Those that are preaching for all the wrong reasons, could later repent, and start preaching for the right reasons.  We have seen this through the years. We are to listen for the truth of God's word. I h...

GOD'S LOVE LETTER TO HIS CHILDREN. PART 2

Read God's word and see how many times He chose to bless and not curse His people. God knows our every move and cares that we understand there is obedience to His word that will help us. God's word is a light unto our path.  Psalms 119:104-105 Through Your precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my path. God's word is rest for the weary, when we have not obeyed the word of God, we will become weary, anxious, and fearful, when we choose to do our own thing instead of what God tells us to do. Jesus loves us too much to leave us where He found us.  Praise God that he did find us searching for truth. Thy word is truth and Jesus is that word. So yes, there will be reminders for our spiritual growth that is needed. Will you squirm and try to fight the Holy Spirit? Yes, because the flesh always fights the Holy Spirit. Galatians 5:17 For the flesh lust against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and th...

THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN FORGIVENESS, ENVY AND SIN IN THE HEALING OF OUR BODY.

MANY CHRISTIAN'S HAVE YET TO RECEIVE THEIR HEALING, BECAUSE THEY REFUSE TO FORGIVE. OUR HEALING OF MIND AND BODY ARE DEEPLY CONNECTED, JESUS SAID SO. UNFORGIVENESS IS A SIN.  WE MISS THE MARK THAT GOD HAS SET, WHEN WE HOLD ONTO THAT SIN. BECAUSE IT ONLY HURTS US.  I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE.   MY BODY BROKE DOWN AND I HEARD THE LORD SAY,  "JOY, AS LONG AS YOU DO NOT FORGIVE YOU CANNOT BE HEALED IN YOUR BODY"  I  FORGAVE AND MY BODY WAS HEALED OF A DISEASE THAT THERE IS NO CURE FOR. IT ONLY CRIPPLES YOU. THIS IS PROVEN OUT IN GOD'S WORD. (John 5:1-15) Read the whole thing. The man healed by the pool.  John 5: 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, " See, you have been made well, Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you." PROVERBS 14:30 A SOUND HEART IS LIFE TO THE BODY, BUT ENVY IS ROTTENNESS TO THE BONES. (ARTHRITIS)  All sickness is not from the devil, although he does magnify the symptoms....
