You know your level of authority has changed when what you say begin to happen. This is the level you should hunger for!
God is committed to leading you; you must be committed to obeying Him.
Divine direction can be tough – God can be leading you to do things that might hurt your feelings, your finances, your well-prepared plan; but it is maturity to celebrate and follow His leading.
The Different Ways God Lead:
1. Thru godly counsel. His instructions can come through your parents, spiritual leaders, colleagues and other people higher than one spiritually. God sends men to you, and if you are not spiritually in tune to receive you might miss out. Prov. 19: 20 – anyone that refuses counsel is foolish. Prov. 15: 22 – without counsel, purposes are disappointed.
Even when God is leading you to do a thing, you still need counsel for your purpose to not be disappointed.
However, you need to note who you choose as counsel; for instance, you do not go to a divorcee to teach you on marriage, or go to someone undisciplined with money to teach you about finances, etc.
2. Thru inner witness. This is inner counsel. Counselors are external, but your inner counsel is from our spirit man. The inner counsel is either the Spirit of God or your spirit. Your spirit is the only thing that gets born again when you give your life to Christ. When you become born again, the Holy Spirit becomes interwoven with your spirit – this allows for you to know the mind of God. Rom. 8: 16 – the capital Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and He bears witness with your spirit; He agrees with your own spirit on some things and leads you.
Know the difference between the voices speaking to you: when the flesh is speaking to you, it speaks selfish things; the Holy Spirit does not shout at you, even in your sin – He reproves/admonish, He doesn’t condemn. The devil, however, is the one that condemns and discourages you from going to God after you sin.
3. Thru angelic visitation. This is supernatural access to instructions, leading and angelic guidance. Angelic visitations are one of the spiritual ladders. The word angel means messenger, angels are sent to you to minister to and for you! In the hierarchy of heaven, we are above angels. Acts 27: 23 – in the midst of crisis, God can send angels to you.
4. Thru visions, dreams and trance. God can reveal things to you through images, while your eyes are closed or open. Dreams are visions given in the night. Trances are visions given in semi-conscious states.
