When I begin to share with them that this is being led by the flesh, instead of the being led by the spirit, they totally agree. However, knowing what your circumstance is doesn't necessarily change your circumstance. I share with them that as we renew our mind to the word of God and feed our spirit man, we get the power to tell ourselves what to do, regardless of what others do.
Deuteronomy 6:18 (NIV) "Do what is right and good in the LORD's sight, so that it may go well with you and you may go in and take over the good land the LORD promised on oath to your ancestors," Many people I talk with are unhappy and stressed. If I would boil all the reasons down, it comes down to not listening to their inner voice. Most people know what's right, but they fear others or fear not fitting in. Most people don't want to be the only one not participating or doing something different than the majority. When I begin to share with them that this is being led by the flesh, instead of the being led by the spirit, they totally agree. However, knowing what your circumstance is doesn't necessarily change your circumstance. I share with them that as we renew our mind to the word of God and feed our spirit man, we get the power to tell ourselves what to do, regardless of what others do. ACTION STEP: Begin today to obey the inner voice. Start telling your flesh "No". When you know right, choose to do right. When you know something is wrong, ask God to give you the boldness you need to turn away from what is wrong, and choose right. Never fear being alone. Jesus said He would never leave you. Feelings lie, Jesus doesn't. You are never alone when you choose right!

"You're never a loser until you quit trying." ~ Mike Ditka If I do this, then this will be the outcome. Well, what if that is not how it turns out? Then what? You stay the course. Jesus did His ministry whether anyone else did the will of God in His lifetime. He looked down the road and saw us. Joseph endured almost two decades of disappointments, until he became in charge of the entire food supply of Egypt and fulfilled his dreams. If we haven't endured for over twenty years we can't even compete with an Old Testament young man who didn't even have the Holy Ghost to help him!!!! “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Hebrews 12:2 (KJV) "Winners are not those who never fail, but those who never quit." ~ Unknown ACTION STEP: Keep looking down the road. Keep pursuing the purposes for which you were called. Keep your eyes on the goal. If you refuse to quit you will win!
