Wise to the Devil's Devices

Good evening everybody,
As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the children of God. Romans 8:14.
It’s an interesting fact that two people can’t lead each other at the same time. One will lead and the other will follow. They can switch off, but both can’t lead at the same time. In order to be led by the Spirit, we have to follow. Our flesh has to take a back seat. Minute by minute, we decide who leads.
When the Spirit has some direction for you, it won’t usually be spectacular. Usually it seems like a thought from inside. Is it the Lord or your flesh? A quick test is 1 corinthians 13. But another test is the next thought. If it fights with the first thought with something about yourself, then the first thought was probably the Lord. The devil will remind you about yourself. That is his trick. So let’s not be ignorant of his schemes. The only way he gets in is right there, right then. If a person is completely led by the Spirit, he or she will have it made. None of us are, but we could be. All things are possible to him that believes. So it is simple, on paper. J ignore the devil, obey the Lord.
I love you all. Be blessed, y’all!
healed by His stripes,
