Tammie: I believe it was you who corrected my upper-case letters to lower-case in the Subject Line. Thank you -- I couldn't figure out how to edit it after I posted. Thanks again! tenderreed and Geri7 -- thank you for your comments. See y'all soon! Humbly HI —- not sure it was me, but I do know how :scratch: incredibly exciting times! Beautiful post. And there’s so much darkness and depression. Living minute by minute at the feet of our Savior is our lifeline. TR - quick question. You said Lastly, if I had a nickel for every time I heard the assertion “the Lord told me” or “the spirit led me” unless and until the Spirit bears witness, those statements are invalid. Will you help clarify this? I do believe I’m hearing more from the Lord, and as long as it’s in line with Scripture, does it need something else? What do you mean about the Spirit bearing witness? In the freedom we have to walk with the Spirit of God, we can sometimes be fooled into thinking that our own desires and agenda's are rubber stamped by claiming the Spirit's leading. Many seemingly don't take the time to enter into deep prayer or seek a confirmation that it is indeed the Spirits leading or voice that we are being guided by! Often the results of our actions don't glorify God. Seems to me that there are times we are to step out in faith not fully confident of how God will be glorified, and this is great! But there are times when we act or speak from our own soulish desires. Just saying that indeed we must make every effort to be certain before we ascribe words or a course of action to the Lord! That we don't overstep and become presumptuous before the Lord. TR
