Those of you that read the daily posts may have noticed yesterday that there was no post. This was not a mistake, but something that I have felt led to do. I felt that I should start writing every other day. I wrestled with this, but ultimately felt this is the way that I was being led. For those that follow the Facebook page you will see that there is a video posted every other day as well, these will alternate.
Understand that I’m not just explaining what you will see on the blog. I’m using this to teach you something. If you allow God to lead you then you will encounter this. God will lead you to do something. At some point He will lead you to alter what He told you to do or stop altogether.
We can see an example of this in the book of Acts chapter 8. Philip is in a red hot revival. There are miracles happening, people were believing in Jesus, being baptized and receiving the Holy Ghost. This was the first outpouring of the Holy Ghost on the Samaritans because the gospel had previously only been preached to the Jews. God had used Philip to start something. Something that would spread as we see in verse 25 speaking about Peter and John it says And they, when they had testified and preached the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the gospel in many villages of the Samaritans (Acts 8:25 KJV). You catch that? They began to preach the gospel to the Samaritans after this. Something else happens in the middle of this. God calls Philip to leave the work that he is doing to reach one man. Then God takes him from here to another place. This goes against how we think. We would have wanted to stay in Samaria. The thing is Philip was following God’s will for his life. This meant if God told him to go here, he went. If God told him to stop, he stopped. If God told him to start something new, he started something new.
If you are following God’s will for your life there will come times of change. Sometimes doors will open for new things. If you have an open door you can’t go through it if you stay where you are, that’s how doors work. You can’t stand in the hallway because it’s what you’re used to.
When you feel God leading you in a different direction, pray about it. Seek His will, it may be a new avenue that He is leading in.
Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV 5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
