I’ve been learning recently – a deeper revelation – as I walk through this with the Lord…
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1 NASB)
“But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also. (Matthew 5:39 NASB)
I have been finding that as I live ‘naturally’ just doing what is on my heart that the Holy Spirit ‘naturally’ curbs me and brings me into line with His will so that what I ‘naturally’ do is what He wants me to do…
Every so often I get these, ‘No!’ voices while I’m just minding my own business, doing my own thing – for example when I’m cleaning my teeth or choosing which shirt to wear…
I’m learning to ignore these voices…
I want to be surrendered to God in everything but I’m learning that as I continue ‘naturally’ doing what is on my heart I am protected and the Lord works on me…
If I take control in listening to the ‘No!’ voices then I have to ‘try’ and ‘think’ and this is counterproductive and blocks the Holy Spirit…
Just go with your gut – go with what is on your heart – even if this is wrong the Holy Spirit will intercept you and curb you back to naturally do what He wants you to do – you have surrendered to Him – given yourself to Him – so trust Him to lead you – ‘naturally’ from within as He is one spirit with you – think about that – one spirit with you…
Not with your flesh but with your new spirit – your new creation is His and He inhabits it…
So it will – over time – become stronger and stronger and stronger and more ‘naturally’ you as you just trust Him to make the changes – He makes the changes as we live naturally – we don’t have to live our lives in fear or striving continually asking Him, ‘what should I do now Lord?’ – just live naturally and look up to Him to speak to you as it is on your heart – this is what I’ve been doing and it has been working well for me…
Love you,
Andrew
