The Lord was talking to us, yesterday, about finding ourselves in a place of needing to make a decision. He gave us some guidelines and instructions on what to do and what not to do when we find ourselves in that place, and He still has much more to say about this subject ~~~~~~ We must never be motivated by "fear" when making a decision about anything! In other words, if you are thinking in your mind that if you don't go with what "seems" like the answer to your problem, then it might not get taken care of the way you want it to! Stay with me . . . this is not complicated . . . this is just the way we think in our "natural" minds! God talks about this kind of thinking in the book of Proverbs . . there is a way that SEEMS right to us, but that doesn't mean that it is God's WAY for us! (Read Proverbs 12:15 and 14:12 and 16:25). Let me put it this way ~~~~ If we are making a decision based on "fear", such as thinking this way . . . Well, if I don't go ahead and make this happen, then I may not get my "promotion", or I may not be able to pay my bills, or I may not get my healing, or I may lose a "relationship" with someone that I "think" I need in my life, or whatever you have fear about! Are we "listening"? Do not ever be "motivated" by FEAR when making a decision! Why? Because, you cannot operate in "fear" and "faith" at the same time! They are "opposing forces"! Fear opens the door for the devil to bring his will to come to pass in your life . . . Faith opens the door for God to bring His "will" to come to pass in your life! Fear brings "anxiety", Faith in God brings PEACE! That (peace) is where the Holy Spirit is going with all of this . . . because He has much more to say about "decision making"!
