Morning Meds with Izzy Herriette & Co - Saturday - FEB 19, 2011 -
Good morning!
Getting my morning coffee and I hear the Holy Spirit speak directly to me, "Who's directing your paths?" That, followed by this:
Proverbs 3:5,6 - Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
I spent a large amount of time in the book Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows, dissecting that word: path, pathway, pathos; rather, the Holy Spirit led me in that way.
Can we take wrong paths in life? Sometimes I don't believe that we really succumb to the idea that we could be so naive as to choose a wrong path for our ourselves/our lives. Rest assured (if you can) that we most definitely can make poor choices, especially if we're not being led by Him in our decision making processes.
Look to the verse that follows the above verses:
Proverbs 3: 7 - Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.
You've heard the old adage, "Just because it's a good idea doesn't mean it's a God idea!"
I'd hate to count the times I've missed the Lord's best for my life. That isn't just in consideration of major decisions for my life but in the everyday and every moment type situations. Where is my bend, bending? And unto what end, ending?
I remember early on in my walk with the Lord, by the leading of the Holy Spirit, I learned to instantly repent over anything and everything I knew to be "a wrong" in my life, according to Him. I even discovered, by His Spirit, that I could call forth a killing of that bad seed sown! It works. If I speak something that I know will bear a bad fruit, I immediately ask the Lord to defeat that justifiable outcome; by His mercy and grace. He does it. Every time.
Over and over again, God tells us in His word, that He has set before us: life, health, peace, happiness, joy unspeakable and full of glory, prosperity, goodness and the list goes on and on. How many of us are really walking in those promised pathways?
As a person who receives dreams, visions and divine utterances from Him and many of those lately, not being of a positive nature, but of things coming that are not good; how do I keep myself balanced? I have to think of examples in the Bible such as Paul, John the revelator, Jeremiah, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Daniel and so many, many more. These all encountered the prophetic in God in a negative measure as well as a positive. What about Jesus?
Then we have to find our way back, immediately, to this path:
John 14:1 - Let not your heart be troubled, ye believe in God, believe also in me.
John 14:26,27 - But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things ... Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
Sounds like the right path to be on today, in order that we end up on the paths that He has set before us; that He will direct our feet in them.
Blessings as you rest before Him over your paths.
