Oftentimes, in the midst of making decisions, we find ourselves confused—unsure of which path to take or which answer best fits the question before us. Life constantly asks us questions, and we often desperately seek answers, yet we still miss the right response. This often happens because we attempt to answer life’s questions outside the lens of the Holy Spirit.
When we begin to see life through the lens of the Holy Ghost, we no longer see things merely as we imagine they should be, we begin to see them as they truly are. The Holy Spirit is not the author of confusion.
1 Corinthians 14:33 (NKJV)
For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.
You cannot say the Holy Spirit told you something today and then claim He changed His mind the next morning. Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty—liberty in the mind, spirit, soul, and body.
However, this liberty is not automatic. It requires alignment—through obedience, study of the Word, and prayer—for the manifestation of the salvation we have received. When a man encounters God, that encounter is often secret, but when the manifestation comes, it becomes evident that he has truly met with God.
When faced with a troubling decision, it is not the time to become overly critical or analytical in the flesh. Rather, it is a time to see through the lens of the Spirit, to discern and understand. A man who knows how to journey in the Spirit with the help of the Holy Ghost cannot lose his way.
Proverbs 3:5–6 (NKJV)
Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Scripture reminds us to trust in the Lord with all our hearts. It is our acknowledgement of Him that brings direction to our paths. When God directs you, you cannot lose your way. Many times, confusion arises when we give more weight to human advice—especially from people in authority—than to the voice of the Holy Spirit. This should not be so.
The Word tells us that “eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him.” Therefore, in moments of confusion, the Spirit of the Lord is ever present, ready to direct your path—if only you will trust Him.
Stay Revived!
