Many of us are the same way. We ask God to send the Holy Spirit our way, and when He does...we don't know what to do with the nudge when we receive it. We plead for guidance...and then don't follow it. The light comes on...and we cover it up.
If you experienced this weekend, I want to reiterate one of the points.... If you want to live a life filled with the Holy Spirit, you'll have to start acting on what God is nudging you to do. Make that phone call...send that email...give that hug... whatever you are feeling led to do to make things right. Then, if you ever get fouled by life, you will be living as one who is controlled by God...
How do you know the nudge is from God? Here's a couple of things I do to check: 1) Does the nudge contradict scripture? God would never give you something to do that is contrary to His word 2) Have I checked with my closest Christian friends and ask them what they think? Sometimes I believe that God can use others Christians to confirm His leading. 3) Have I prayed this through and am at total peace about it?
What's nudging you this morning? Is it from the God? If so...I challenge you to act on it TODAY...don't put it off... Life may foul you today...but you'll be ready...
Blessings,
Pastor Brian
