Good Morning!
 
I have set my face like a flint . . . I have made a decision to follow after Jesus and live my life by the "example" that Jesus set for us!  I am going to do exactly what Jesus said He did . . . and what was it that Jesus said?  Jesus said many things, but the example that I am wanting to point out at this time is this . . . I will "say" what The Father tells me to "say"!  I will "do" what The Father tells me to "do"!  In the Epistles to the Church, this is called . . . "being led by The Spirit of God"!  I have been through a lot of storms, just like the rest of you, and this is one thing that I have learned ~~~~ the only way to make it through the "storms", is to be LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!  In fact, the only way to live one day at a time and have any victory in your life . . . is to be LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!  Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to us after He left this earth and went to be with The Father, where He is seated at The Father's right hand, and ever liveth to make intercession for us . . . OH GLORY TO GOD!  Let me repeat . . . Jesus sent His Holy Spirit to be with us, in us, and upon us!  He did this for a reason that we need to get a revelation of!  It was so that we could be "totally" LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!  He knows our "flesh" and our weaknesses, and He knew that we would be tempted to be led by our "feelings", and led by our "emotions" and led by our "reasoning things out in our own carnal minds", and led by "what other people want us to do", and by what "seems right to us"!  Oh, precious ones, hear what The Spirit is saying to you today!  The book of Proverbs (which is the Wisdom of God) says that there is a way that "seems right" to man, but that doesn't mean that it is God's way or plan for you!  (I encourage you to read a chapter of Proverbs every day, there are 31 chapters . . . a chapter for every day of the month).  This is where I learned about the "reverential fear" of The Lord, and how that the "reverential fear" of The Lord is the beginning of Wisdom!  When we have a reverential fear of The Lord . . . we will desire His "wisdom", and that "desire" is the very thing that enables us to be LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!  He will be talking some more to us about being LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD!  So, if you have this "desire", then stay tuned in!
 
Romans 8:14 . . . "For all that are led by The Spirit of God are sons of God". The word "sons" denotes a difference between "children" of God and "sons" of God...in other words, those that are being LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD have "matured"!  For a long time now, I have been sharing with you about how the Lord is desiring two things for us . . . INTIMACY and MATURITY!  Remember?
 
Thank you, Father, for loving us so much that you are wanting to give us a revelation about how to be "successful" in all of our endeavors, and how to "calm the storms in our lives" and how to be . . . LED BY YOUR SPIRIT, so that we can have more "intimacy" with You . . . and become more "mature" in You!
 
Have a Blessed Day!!         (Where He leads me, I will follow!)        In His Love, Luanne
