Follow Your First Mind

Follow Your First Mind
Posted By: Jackie Moore on May 26, 2009


You must train your intuition -- you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide. ~ Ingrid Bergman

Scripture:
Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:5

Saints, how often have you gone to do something then decided to do it another way, only to come back and say; I should have followed my first mind. So often we hear the voice of God telling us what to do, but we won't listen.

There have been times in our lives when something inside of us says to do things a certain way. It can be something as simple as losing our keys and then, all of a sudden it comes to you where they are. Or it could have been a much stronger voice that shouted, “DON’T GO THAT WAY!” In either case what you may not have realized is that, it is the voice of God guiding and directing you in the way that you should go.

When the word of God is used as your source of direction we can't help but do what is right.



So often when we don't listen to what he is trying to tell us, we can't help but fail. So saint, today I urge you be still, listen, and act on the word of God. He hasn't failed you yet.

Be Blessed

Prayer:
I heard a bird sing and knew it was God. I felt the wind on my face and knew it was God, I heard a whisper, and knew it was God. Thank You Lord, that You make Your presence known to me each and everyday. Lord, as we look around us today, we see You at work. Thank You Lord for the rain that has caused the flowers, tree and grass to grow. Thank You for the sun that brightens my day and my spirits. Thank You for the moon and the stars, which help me to realize that I am part of something much greater. Lord, but most of all I thank You for YOUR WORD, YOUR GRACE & MERCY, AND MY SAVIOR, JESUS CHRIST. Father, we ask that You would continue to allow Your blessings to be manifested in our lives. Touch our brothers and sisters who have many needs today. Touch my fellow saints reading this right now, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
