Sadly, by the time I'm asked
to provide a voice into some people's lives, they've already made up their
mind. I'm merely brought in to stamp a "blessing" on their decision. #outoforder
Anytime I've had major
decisions to make, I've presented it to my spiritual covering and gave them the
latitude to perceive, process & pray, no matter how long it took. I remain
prayerful & keep my ear tuned to what they have to say. Sometimes it's
"wait". Sometimes it's "no". Sometimes it's
"proceed".
1. I have already
given them permission to speak into my life, long before I sought direction. I
can't reject their voice when I don't "like" or "agree"
with what they say.
2. I'm submitted to
spiritual authority because it's biblical & on this side of the cross, God
has established delegated authority.
3. Even when God
speaks something to me, He confirms that word through those I've submitted
myself to. Yes, God speaks to me, but He uses my leader to lead
me..."if" I can be led.
This is a process, just like anything else in life. It takes prayerful consideration, time & preparation. You can't rush it & you can't demand it. If it really is from "God" it will be a natural step with a supernatural unanimity.
If you desire a BLESSING,
posture yourself to be BLESSABLE.
I can't BLESS a MESS.
