Life of a believer is simply obeying God by way of the Holy Spirit. WHATEVER God tells us to do, just do it.
If He tells us to apologize, give our child a hug, call someone back, buy a gift for someone, go to bed, or stop eating something, just do it. It’s not always don’t do something. He may tell us it’s okay to watch that rated R movie or have that second piece of cake. We just want to do our part by asking Him.
Complications occur when we do what we want to do instead of what God wants us to do. When that happens, we may experience natural consequences or problems we could have avoided.
Understand that God knows everything and He knows what’s best for us. Our ways may seem simpler and it may feel good to our flesh, but it will lead to destruction (Prov. 14:12).
We may not experience any problems or consequences after doing it our way a few times. That’s God grace and mercy keeping us from problems. Don’t get comfortable with doing it your way because eventually that “my way” approach will spread to other areas, and one day you’ll look up and realize your life is full of problems resulting from bad decisions.
Whatever God tells us to do will align with His written word. Obey it and experience the abundant life and truly represent the Kingdom of God.
Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put My Spirit in you so that you will follow My decrees and be careful to obey My regulations.
