Leading of The Spirit(Direction in a simple way)1

John 8:12(KJV) 12[Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, ] I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Light is a gift in Christ.
Jesus speaks of followers.
Followers are believers .Disciples.
We become disciples by the gospel .

Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) 18[And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ] All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
The Narratives of Luke in the book of acts relates this well.
It calls believers disciples and disciples are believers.

Ephesians 5:8-9 (KJV) 8[For ye were sometimes darkness, but now ] are ye[ light in the Lord: walk as children of light:] 9[(For the fruit of the Spirit ] is[ in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)]
We are now Light in Him.
The Originals of verse 9 is rendered Fruit of the Light.

We have the fruit of the Light. Colossians 1:13(KJV) 13[Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated ] us[ into the kingdom of his dear Son:]
We have been delivered from darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of Sons.
We have taken the identity of our new nation. It's a kingdom of Sons.
We are Sons. Since a nation is made up of its citizens.
We are the lights of the kingdom of Light.

1 Peter 2:9(KJV) 9[But ye ] are[ a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:]
Peter calls it marvellous .This means full of wonders ,miracles .
1 John 1:2-4 (KJV) 2[(For the life was manifested, and we have seen ] it[, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)]
3[That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship ] is[ with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.]
Our fellowship is with the Father .
Fellowship is union.

1 John 1:5(KJV) 5[This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.]
There's no darkness. Its only Light.
Paul retorts further.
2 Corinthians 6:14(KJV) 14[Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?]
Believers are called Light. Light means direction.
It never lacks it. It gives direction.
We have since left the path of confusion.
We are never without what to do and how to do it.

John 1:4-5 (KJV) 4[In him was life; and the life was the light of men.] 5[And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.]
We are in Him. Direction is our inheritance in Christ.
We don't pray for direction. It's ours . We pray to know it.
To see it. Walk in it. God has given every believer His Spirit.
Romans 8:9(KJV) 9[But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.]
We are His.
Romans 8:14(KJV) 14[For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.] We are Led by His Spirit.
He will not lead us anymore than He has led us. "Led "here carries the thought of union with another .
His Spirit. It's a very strong word.
It infers and implies partnership, fellowship, oneness.
1 Corinthians 6:17(KJV) 17[But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.] We are one Spirit. Direction is in this union. He never abandoned us to find out the way to go.
He led,and leads us. He always does.
We are to find out what He's leading for, where He's leading to.
We are Led by His Spirit. We are Light.
We have Light. We must walk in This truth.
Direction is not the result of prayer and fasting. It's the fruit of CHRIST'S redemptive sacrifice . It's a function of the indwelling of the Spirit.
It's ours in Him
We continue.... Blessed?
I don't and will never lack direction.
It's my inheritance in Him.
Jesus is Lord,We win!

#WHO TO LOOK UP TO# 9

In the midst of storms And all is cold and Choky When the storm is severely harsh Have faith in God   When all hope seems lost And there is no one to turn to When there is darkness all around Your God is able   When friends and family forsake And all has deserted None seems to care But Jesus Alone   Cast your cares upon Him For He alone cares for you Look unto Jesus, the author, And the finisher of your faith   He says peace be still That He has conquered the world Keep your gaze upon Him in patience Joy comes in the morning

#In Whose Hands #10

A basketball in my hands is worth about $19. A basketball in Michael Jordan's hands is worth about $33 million. It depends whose hands it's in . A baseball in my hands is worth about $6. A baseball in Mark Mcguire's hands is worth $19 million. It depends whose hands it's in. A tennis racket is useless in my hands. A tennis racket in Pete Sampras' hands is a Wimbledon Championship. It depends whose hands it's in. A rod in my hands will keep away a wild animal. A rod in Moses' hands will part the mighty sea. It depends whose hands it's in. A sling shot in my hands is a kid's toy. A sling shot in David's hand is a mighty weapon. It depends whose hands it's in. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in my hands is a couple of fish sandwiches. Two fish and 5 loaves of bread in God's hands fed thousands. It depends whose hands it's in. Nails in my hands might produce a birdhouse. Nails in Jesus Christ's hands pr
