Many years ago people followed their hearts
- Days of old before maps
- Many times you would get lost
- Relied on others experience to reach the desired destination
- Spiritually (doing what they thought was good
- Difficult period men did what they felt was right
- Very easy to get off course
- Most people failed
- Limited righteous people (Job,Noah,Abram)
Then we got maps
- They showed you the right way
- Required an understanding of where you are going
- One wrong term meant working to Gert back on course
- Knew where to go but required focus
- Spiritually this is the law period
- Law pointed to what was right
- required focus
- You had to do the works of the law to stay on course
- you still desired wrong even though you knew what was right
- One wrong turn could lead to disaster
Then we got GPS
- We now just follow the leader
- Takes the guess work out
- Requires a connection for updated routes
- App must stay active for directions
- Put the destination in and it plots the route
- Spiritually this is the (Holy Spirit)
- Frees us from the works of the law
- Knows the way
- Changes our heart
- Redirects us when we get off course
- The only way the believer will reach the desired destination
FiChallenge
- Are you following God's route or your own?
- Are you listening to the Holy Spirit?
- Has your fruit revealed that you've gotten off course?
- If God is recalculating your route today, will you follow His directions?
Invitation
"Don't wait until you reach the end of the road to discover you were traveling in the wrong direction. Trust Jesus, follow the Holy Spirit, and let God guide you safely home."
