Is it Really GOD? What i'm about to do....
I was preparing for an oversea's ministry trip, with my bible school classmates. One of the questions that was asked of me, "Do you have the Witness of the Holy Spirit?" brought me to reality. My reply, didn't satisfy the person's asking the question.... "well, my teacher said i should go on this trip." So, they asked again, the same question... and my reply, "No! I don't." Ended the conversation and i was scratched from the trip.
I thought it was a good Christian thing to do, to grab every opportunity to preach and teach, but that day i learned a very valuable lesson. The Holy Spirit hadn't born witness in my spirit that it was His Will, nor His desire, that i go to Africa. In fact, i've yet to be on that continent to this day.
It was His will, that i go to Asia, so i've been there more than 28 times... hmmm and you... has the Spirit born witness in your spirit where you are? Jobs, schools, missions, vacations.. it would just be better for our lives if we follow His plans and purposes. We will be happier and those around us will be happier.
Of course, we all know of Jonas, who went the opposite way in life. What a storm he encountered, and all those around him suffered as well, until he told them to throw him out, and then had to trust the Lord to rescue him. And yet, his life ministry was successful! At least he wound up where he was supposed to go.. hehe..
Have a Blessed day today! Follow the Spirit!
