Be Deliberate Be Intentional!


Be Deliberate Be Intentional!

James 1:8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
Say it deliberately, affirm it vigorously, and it will come to pass. Every time you catch yourself worrying or fretting or being anxious, just pause for a few moments and say to yourself, “This is not living the victorious life, the life of a conqueror, {an intelligent, thinking being}, not the life of a man or woman of faith. It is just the opposite. One must be deliberate, intentional, purposeful, when following the leading of the Lord. When I feel deeply that a certain act is the right act, I do it with absolute confidence and leave the outcome to God. When I am deeply impressed that a certain thing is true, no matter what the appearances to the contrary may be, I accept that thing as true and act accordingly.
The way to develop the ability to perceive truth or as the bible calls it to discern what is truth; is to trust the spirit man on the inside. God’s Spirit communicates with my spirit. I must learn to trust Him in little things or I will never be trusted in the big things. I must have absolute trust that the Holy Ghost will lead and guide me into all truth. St. John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth. We as believers must develop the ability of hearing and knowing the voice of God and be sensitive to His leading. We can know His voice and we must know His voice; too discern His will and purpose. We must be intentional when learning to understand and interpret the {mind} thoughts of God. Learning to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit; to hear His voice in the midst of the noise and the confusion the enemy tries to stir up to distract us.
We must immerse ourselves in the Word of God. The Word of God brings light and clarity, it is God’s revelation; it is God’s revealed will to the believer.
Psalm 119:130 ¶ The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple. The Word brings instruction and clarity; the whole body has light: the spirit man, your spiritual senses are awakened. We are not groping as a blind man in darkness. When you can see no light, you have the Holy Spirit to guide you through the wilderness of doubt, confusion into your promise land.
