Somewhere in that foggy bog land between dreaming and waking is where I learn a lot and tend to hear from the Lord about His Vision for my life. This morning there was a moment of visitation where I got a download from the Throne. I know this because what I learned is truly not of my flesh . . . and is even antithetical to my flesh. While flesh does not tend to fight against flesh, spirit will.
He showed me that my opinions are based in my feelings for the most part. I learned my opinions aren't worth so much and are pretty useless. I mean, I can have an opinion, but I don't necessarily need to make decisions based in my opinions. It's His job to make my decisions. My job is to stay tuned into the Holy Spirit for instructions as to how to run my life. I can dislike someone (or their behavior), but He will dictate to me if and how to pray about it. He will tell me whether to engage with them and how. My life is His show.
When I awoke I talked to Bryan about it, more revelation came. It occurred to my flesh that this idea sounds like a very narrow passage. I am not to make my own decisions? Really? For life? That's like prison!
Like a flash of light, the thought came, "It's contrary to prison. Decisions based on my feelings is like prison. To lean into the Lord of the Universe for direction broadens the horizon appreciably and offers incomprehensible freedom. I will be free from such limited options."
Wow. I like waking up.
