There are always many, in the Body of Christ, who are looking for divine direction from the Lord. We often wrestle with the decisions that we have made about the direction that we’ve stepped out in, (wondering at times) if those places that we’ve stepped into were the correct ones in the first place.
I have often faced this same situation in my own life and ministry because it is much easier (at times) to hear the Holy Spirit for someone else than it is to hear Divine Direction from Him for yourself.
In this Season, there are many people being Directed By the Holy Spirit into a new place. Some of those Directions are taking people to different geographical locations, while others are being Supernaturally Adjusted Socially, financially, or even relationally in their personal lives.
However, while many are receiving new Instructions and directions in this season, there are many more who are also being REDIRECTED by the Holy Spirit while upon their initial journeys themselves! This REDIRECTING takes place while we find ourselves already in Transit to wherever we were originally headed by His Leading.
The Holy Spirit constantly Redirects me while I am out and about doing my daily routines. This Redirection that He engages with me in often happens to Lead me by “DIVINE REDIRECTION” into what I call “DIVINE APPOINTMENTS!”
“A man’s mind PLANS HIS WAY, but THE LORD DIRECTS HIS STEPS and makes them sure.” Proverbs 16:9
“For I know the thoughts and PLANS THAT I HAVE FOR YOU, says the Lord, thoughts, and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome.” Jeremiah 29:11
While we all love to quote Jeremiah 29:11, what has always stuck out to me in this verse more than anything else is that God knows His PLANS for you, so one of the jobs of the Holy Spirit is His sharing of those PLANS with us through His Leading and His Redirection of our journey along the Way.
If God knows the Plans that He has for each of our lives, then it stands to reason that He would want to share those Plans with each of us by the Instruction and leading of the Holy Spirit Who is in us. Plans only work when all of the Parties involved know the Plans, Understand the Plans and Follow the Plans!
Seeing as how we have each received the Mind of Christ (1 Corinthians 2:16), then it should not be hard for us each to tap into those Thoughts and Plans that He has for us, in order to see where He wants us to go, who He wants us to connect with and what He wants us to accomplish along the way as well as when we get wherever it is that He wants us to go.
The Big problem that each of us have within this process is that we do not usually engage with the Holy Spirit enough to hear His Voice in order to receive those Instructions! We get anxious, discontented, frustrated, and impatient and those things often cause us to step out in the wrong directions, get us involved with the wrong crowds, put us in circumstances that God has tried to keep us out of, and even entangle us in relationships that were not His best for our lives.
If you’ve found yourself in one of these areas in your life currently, God is going to REDIRECT you in this season of your Life! If you’re sitting in limbo waiting for the next step that you’re supposed to take, then you need to press into His Presence and Believe to See your next Step in the Process. BUT ABOVE ALL, YOU NEED TO LEARN TO REST IN HIS PRESENCE!
It is when You are resting in His Presence that He goes before you and begins to level the Mountains and make all of the crooked places straight ahead of your feet (Isaiah 45:2).
Your Directions and your Redirections are both found within God’s Peace and His Presence:
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7
The Holy Spirit is going to direct every step you take if you let Him, so as you go about your Way, listen for the still Small Voice of the Holy Spirit telling you “THIS IS THE WAY, WALK THIS WAY.” And He will take you (and lead you) into places, purposes and a Destiny that you never imagined was possible for your life!!!
