We are children of the King. We are a Spirit; with a soul; housed in a body. We must be Spirit led in all things, at all times.
As my husband and I walked a new trail recently, and the signs said that one trail was closed and directed us to take an alternate trail. We let our Spirits lead us, and stayed on the, supposedly, closed road. We came upon the backside of a row of restuarants, and stopped at a quaint little spot to refresh ourselves. Because we let our Spirits lead us we found out and saw many new things, had an enjoyable time, but the most important thing we learned is that even signs can be misleading.
People will speak into our lives, but our Spirit has to be careful not to receive and/or believe everything that is said. There will be many signs along the way, figuratively and literally, but the only signs that qualify with us are from God. We have to pray, and ask God for direction about the rest.
My Godmother, Aunt Mamie, always said: "Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear." Seems to me that there is some validity to that saying.
I heard Rev. Creflo Dollar teaching on having a spirit led life this morning.
If we continue to listen for God's voice, and look for His signs; He will show and tell us about the same thing in different ways.
We must not let life detour us from what God has for us, and, more importantly, what He has for us to do. We must not forget that we walk by faith and not by sight.
The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ. Some of us are Jews, some are Gentiles, some are slaves, and some are free. But we have all been baptized into one body by one Spirit, and we all share the same Spirit. I Corinthians 12:12 & 13 (NLT)
