Paul writes, \u2018Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.\u2019<\/i> (Romans 8:5 NKJV) Passenger planes are designed to fly in two ways\u2014through the skill of a pilot and the commands they receive from the control tower. To \u2018live according to the Spirit\u2019 means obeying His promptings. You do that by going through your day with an awareness of His presence. Submit, as you feel Him tugging at your heart to take a particular course of action, even if you don\u2019t quite understand why. You may be prompted to drop a particular conversation, turn away quickly from a certain television programme, walk away from a questionable environment, or even go \u2018by another way\u2019.<\/i> (Remember the wise men in Matthew 2:12?) Whatever it is, do it immediately. <\/p>\n
The Holy Spirit may be warning you about a temptation you\u2019ll be unable to resist unless you obey Him there and then. Perhaps there\u2019s someone who comes to your mind during the day, and you know he or she is going through a difficult time and could use some support. Get in touch with them. God wants to minister to that person through you, and He will bless you when you do it. The Holy Spirit may guide you to do a certain thing, or take a risk you never imagined you\u2019d take. The wisest thing is always to submit to His plan, regardless of whether or not it makes sense to you. God knows all things, including your future, and His direction is always for your benefit. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
