Did I hear God or miss Him??? 1/2

How many times have you been mentally exhausted from debating what you "thought you heard" in your spirit? You sought God, read scripture & talked to friends who knew the Word-but you still weren't sure? You began to doubt... what if you missed God? You would be out of His will, but what if you did hear Him correctly-then you'd be out of His will for not moving ahead! This kind of thinking can go on a lifetime & it's why many don't move forward in what God calls them to do-they conclude, somehow they made things up in their mind. I used to do this a lot until God challenged me: "If you really trusted Me, wouldn't you believe I would supply you with what you needed-or stop you, if you missed Me?" I countered with, "I do believe You God, but I don't trust me hearing You." His answer transformed my thinking: "then you've got to trust Me more than you trust... you." Wow-revelation! When you're moving forward because you believe you're following the will of God, He will honor your act of obedience. Many don't move forward for fear of missing God, but they're missing the opportunities God wants to give them. Listen closely-God will give you the grace to carry out what He asks of you…or His mercy will cover you, if you miss Him (2 Cor 12:9). God's anointing is in you & when you remain in Him-He will remain in you… the Spirit of truth lives in you & He will guide you in all truth (Jn 15:5, Jn 14:17). So when the Spirit prompts you to move-you need to move! The enemy's a master at mind games & he will trip you up by questioning your motives from a human perspective...but not a Spirit led revelation (1 Cor 2:13). The mind can't comprehend what the Spirit reveals-it has to accept it through faith. When you begin to reason what the Holy Spirit prompts you to do, your mind rejects the impossibility of it-this is where the enemy gets you off course. So you have to renew your mind with God's truth, "humanly speaking it's impossible, but not with God" (Mk 10:27). Put your faith is in God's power, not man's wisdom (1 Cor 2:5). Moving ahead in faith is how you deepen your trust in God leading you-believing the anointing He put in you to hear Him guide you (1 Jn 2:27). In part 2, I'll get into why many confuse trials as a "sign" that they missed God. God put this word on my heart tonight...the trials that try to derail you are the very same ones that will...develop you! 12/4/13LMM/CIFL
