Podcast #9 | Leadings & Perception | Dr Annie Smith
The earth belongs to the Lord and all its fullness thereof. The Apostolicity of the Church entails our role in leading and transforming the world. We lead by giving direction, by communicating the path of Life where we are, and this starts with us coming together to be INSTRUCTED. There is a far greater purpose for the gathering of the Church which goes beyond simply receiving so that our lives are changed.
The word “lead” here means to be conducted, guided, and instructed by the Holy Spirit. Instruction has to do with cultivating our minds to achieve God’s PURPOSE. To be instructed by Him, we lay aside selfish desires, knowing that the Lord will never instruct us against His own will and Being. Leadings and perceptions have to do with the workings of God in the desires of our hearts. It starts by us examining for ourselves if what comes out of our heart is in the Faith, if we are thinking in the Son if we are apprehending what is the Son’s apprehension of us within our own lives, if we are circumscribed by His purpose, His way of seeing
Is God silent? Then, your heart has to be inclined to listen. A certain level of maturity is required to quiet one’s mind, voice, and intentions to heed God’s. It requires the right disposition of heart and mind to hear Him, to receive His intention, and to walk before Him. Once God has your attention, He can reveal His purpose and intention for creation. We get His mind from observing, hearing, seeing, and being taught the way of Life (Faith, Patience, and Love) through the Gift men that He has sent to His Church so that our salvation can be efficacious. We keep our GAZE UPON Christ and pay closer attention to His own gaze so that we walk blamelessly on the right path. In the same way, we have received the light to the same extent we expose that light of God in us to others. We allow His Spirit to train us to be the perfect reflection of His light in the life of others. That is the reason why we believe and gather as the Church of Jesus Christ: to reclaim that vision that God has of His Church.
