#45. Leadings and perceptions | Dr. Annie Smith

"[...] Leadings and perceptions has to do with the working of God in our own desires. Being led implies that you are directed, instructed, guided by another…"

Those who RECEIVE instructions, ACCEPT directions and guidance are Sons of God. Mature Sons of God are those who live not in a manner that serves their carnal desires which only leads to being spiritually asleep, but they live guided by the right motives, the right ways, by those things that have to do with God's lifestyle. They are awakened to all things that pertain to life and godliness which is Christ. The word “lead” means to be conducted, to be guided, to be instructed. It excludes any form of stagnation or passivity, but it implies that we move from our state of comfort, a place of acting from our own way of thinking or from the wisdom of the world to the place where we are instructed by the ways of the Lord. The word “Instruction” relates to the cultivation of our mind by the Holy Spirit to achieve the purpose of God.

Leadings and perceptions start by us examining for ourselves if what comes out of our heart is in the Faith, if we are thinking in the Son. It requires a certain level of maturity to yield to instruction and accept direction. It requires discipline to quiet one’s own mind, voice and intentions to LISTEN to God's intention. To receive His intention, our minds need to be ready to yield to hear Him and walk before Him. Leading and perception starts by examining for ourselves if what comes out of our heart is in the FAITH, is circumscribed by the purpose of God, is focused on God’s own way of seeing. We cannot speak about leadings and perceptions without examining for ourselves to see and acknowledge that we are in the Faith and not about the faith.

In this Podcast Episode, Dr Annie Smith reminds us that God wants to quicken and sharpen our hearing and understanding so we receive wisdom by His Spirit and live fruitful lives. Get ready to be renewed as you heed to this Word of Life.
