GO BACK OR CONTINUE ON?

Q: When circumstances come......what does it mean?

Is it God saying it’s not His will.....or is the enemy just trying to keep you from God’s will? 

This can be a pretty tough subject to tackle, but I think this will help you a little!

First off- I do not ever recommend using circumstances to determine God’s will.

• No matter if you are 100% in the perfect will of God for your life, or you’re 100% out of it, circumstances and different situations will come up.

-The key is to follow both the wisdom and peace.

These are major ways we hear from God along with Him speaking directly to our spirits, and we should never ignore them.

A circumstance might present it self in such a way that it looks like an open door, but you should never walk through it unless you have complete peace about it in your spirit.

• Following circumstances alone can get us in to real trouble.

Satan can arrange circumstances as well as God can because he has access to the natural realm in which we live. Therefore, if we follow circumstances alone, without considering the other ways in which God leads, we can fall in to deception.

Any decision that you make should not go against God’s Word, and it’s easy to do a quick “inner check” if we just take the time to assess our hearts away from all the commotion and see what the level of our peace is.

The safest way to hear from God is to combine biblical methods of being led by the spirit and allow them to serve as checks and balances for one another.

TODAY:

Make sure that you're following God's leading, and not circumstances!!
