God Gives Me Guidance and Direction

God is Our Compass


God never leaves us to struggle aimlessly.  His Word is full of guidance and direction. The Bible shows us how to live and teaches us how to follow His plans for our lives.
Below are some scripture to meditate on when you are seeking direction. Write them on some note cards and read them throughout your day. The more we focus on the Word, the more we know and understand His will for us.

I will be anxious for nothing. I will trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways I will acknowledge Him and He will direct my paths. (Phil 4:6a, Prov. 3:5-6)

I am His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand. He who has begun a good work in me will continue it until the day of Jesus Christ. (Eph 2:10, Phil 1:6)

The Lord will guide me continually. His Word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. He is the One who goes with me. He will never leave or forsake me  (Isa 58:11, Ps 119:105, Deut 31:6)

I will commit my way to the Lord and trust in Him and He shall give me the desires of my heart. He will instruct me and teach me in the ways in which I should go. He will guide me with His eye. (Ps 37:4 – 5, Ps 32:8)

I will seek first the Kingdom of God. The Lord will direct my heart into the love of God and patience of Christ. The Holy Spirit will guide me into all truth.  (Matt 6:33, 2 Thes 3:5, Jhn 16:13)

If I need guidance or direction I will ask and it will be given to me, I will seek and I will find,  I will knock and the door will opened to me for everyone who asks receives, and everyone who seeks finds and to everyone who knocks it will be opened. (Mat 7:7-8)

The Lord enlightens my darkness and makes my way perfect. He enlarges my path under me so my feet do not slip.  (2 Sam 22:29,33,37)

The Battle Zone

  This is a sermon that I preached.. We have all heard sayings such as “Life wasn’t meant to be a bed of roses” or “life ain’t easy”. Well, they are true. Life isn’t easy; it is filled with many challenges. (This may shock you, but God says life is meant to be that way) Sometimes as Christians we think that when we get saved and give our lives over to Jesus that life will change and that we will no longer have challenges.   WRONG! It is quite the opposite actually.   (John 16:33 tells us that in the World we will have tribulation.) When we become born again, we change teams – we move from the devil’s team (the defeated side) and into God’s team (where we are guaranteed victory, but not with a fight.) The problem is (not really a problem at all when you know the truth) when we change teams the devil no longer sees us as ‘safe’ or a non-threat.   When we dedicate our lives to Christ, we become his enemy and he sets out to do everything that he can to disarm, di...

Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover

1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.  Matthew 7:1-5 We’ve all heard the saying don’t judge a book by its cover but what does that really mean?   In a simple way it means that we shouldn’t judge something by the way it looks or seems to be.   It is only natural as human beings to make judgements about things.   We constantly make assumptions about things from what we see, hear and experience.   But what about when we make judgements without looking deeper than surface appearances?   W...

The Greatest Miracle of All

 When Jesus was about to go to the Father, He spoke to His disciples in John 14:23.  He said Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works I do he will also do: and greater works he will do, because I go to the Father. As individuals, we can't really do more than Jesus did as He had the Spirit without measure, we are not more powerful than Jesus. But, as the body of Christ, we have the opportunity reach and help more people than Jesus and His disciples were able to during their time on earth.  Jesus performed many miracles during His three years of ministry. more than could be counted. Many people remember his miracles, but we do not always stop and think about the importance of His teachings.  Jesus came to bring us life, life more abundantly. He came so that we might come to know the Father, that though Him, we might have forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Jesus came to reveal God to us.  Most importantly of all He came to bring us salvatio...

God Gives Us Knowledge Wisdom and Revelation

I'm not really a fan of scripted prayers. They can become monotonous and ineffective if we are not careful.  This prayer, is more like personalized scripture.  I have taken scriptures straight from the Bible and written them in first person so that you can use them in prayer.  Read them in your Bible, meditate on them and ask God to give you a personal revelation of His Word.  I pray that as you read your Bible, that the Word will come alive to you and you will gain a deeper understanding of what God wants to teach you. Dear God, I come to You in faith, believing that You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly more than I could ever think or ask. I pray that I may be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that I may walk worthy of You my Lord, fully pleasing You , being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of You; strengthened with all might, according to Your glorious power,...
