WHAT IT MEANS TO WALK IN GOD'S PERFECT PLAN FOR OUR LIVES
1. At any point in time, one's life is driven by either the SPIRIT or the SELF
2. Salvation is a call to live by obedience to faith
3. Obedience to faith means a life solely driven by the VOICE of the Holy Spirit
4. This walk of faith means absolute dependence on the Holy Spirit for POWER (strength, wisdom etc) for daily living
5. God has a perfect plan for each person and in this plan is divine providence (angelic protection, provision, His presence etc)
6. Only by the leading of the Holy Spirit does one walk in this perfect plan
7. This plan may include moments of passing through the fire, the flood waters, valleys, climbing mountains, walking beside still waters etc
8. However, regardless of which stage of this perfect plan one is, those led by the Holy Spirit experience rest, peace, sufficiency, contentment, joy, excellence
9. Those walking by the leading of the Holy Spirit do not need to worry about their enemies such as people seeking to pull them down because in the path of God's perfect plan, demons cannot operate; demons only oppress people outside divine presence
10. People walking by the Holy Spirit carry divine PRESENCE which is far above ANOITING; someone can be ANOINTED and yet lack divine PRESENCE; proof of divine PRESENCE is REST (no sustained attitude of worries, anxiety, complaints etc but TRUST in the Perfect Divine Process)
11. There are four other "forces" via the SELF that seeks to draw people away from being led by the Holy Spirit in God's Perfect Plan for their lives
▪︎SELF EFFORT - making choices in life solely by considering advantages and disadvantages without seeking the face of the Holy Spirit to hear His Voice concerning the issue. In this state we seek the opinion and advice of anyone and any book except the Holy Spirit; we live just by "Commonsense"; we live by RESEARCH only without REVELATION
▪︎RELIGIOSITY - having a form of godliness but denying the Power of the Holy Spirit. This involves being outwardly religious but having little to nothing or inconsistent Personal Daily Devotional Fellowship Life with the Holy Spirit. In this state, we portray a very religious PUBLIC life through observance of regulations, religious rituals etc but PRIVATELY we know we are wretched and restless
▪︎LUSTS - this involves living like children or like animals. Our choices are only driven by the ID along the paths of instant gratification; we just live for pleasure without judgement regardless of the danger inherent
▪︎OCCULT - living by alternative supernatural powers in exchange for our destiny; seeking these acoustic powers for wealth; control etc. This, without the Express intervention of divine mercies, leads to one perishing (dying without salvation)
12. Why not receive Jesus today and walk under the sole influence of His Holy Spirit? It's a life of rest; a life of RESTING IN PEACE even whiles alive on earth
Yours truly
