The great heresy that brings many people in the Body of Christ into bondage is
this notion that we have to run our lives by other people, so afraid are we that
we may make a mistake, somehow step out of God's Will for our lives, or invite
his displeasure.
First of all, we must be skilled in righteousness
(Hebrews 5: 12), fully versed and renewed in our minds that we have been made
the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5: 21), and therefore we can
never invite God's displeasure in our lives:
"To the praise of the glory
of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved." (Ephesians 1:
6)
Any mistakes, sins, faults, failures that we have made, make, or will
make are forever cleansed away by the Blood of Jesus:
"But if we walk in
the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the
blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin." (1 John 1:
7)
We cannot step out of the will of God:
"Wherefore, my beloved,
as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my
absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.
"For it is
God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."
(Philippians 2: 12-13)
God gives us the desire to do the things that He
wants us to do. We cannot step out of the will of God in that the will of God is always
at work within us. We may do the wrong thing, in that we are relying on our flesh instead of His Spirit, but even then we have nothing to fear:
"Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded,
grace did much more abound:" (Romans 5: 20)
and
"And we know that all
things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose." (Romans 8: 28)
God takes your failures and transforms them into successes, so fear not when you step out in faith, following the promptings of God's Spirit to do His will!
