A man’s steps are of the Lord; how then can a man understand his own way? Proverbs 20.24

Every saved person should understand that he or she is a servant of God. The Lord guides the steps of all of His people. If you decide what you do in the material and spiritual spheres, you are not in the divine plan. Therefore, God cannot direct or use you. There is no prayer that can change the Word. If you have stumbled, or if things are not going well in your life, make things right with the Omnipotent while there is still time.

Those who disobey the commandments are not guided by the Holy Spirit. Now, the Most High will not lead anyone to think or practice sinful things. There is no excuse to accept temptation in your heart. Then, free yourself of everything that is not according to Scriptures, because this is one of the enemy’s blows to try to make you fail.

If you have not triumphed, but have fallen into temptations, you have not been a servant of God. We have been called to constitute the Body of Christ. Now, in the same way that all the organs of my body must do as my head orders, the members of the Body of Christ must also fulfill what Jesus, the Head of the Body, orders. Know that the rebels will be outside of the Lord’s plans.

Those who truly serve the Most High always have the divine hand over their heads. Thus, they are several times guided, freed, and protected. Look at what happened to David, who knew how to serve God, and to Saul, who did not obey the divine orders. In the same manner, those who are led by temptations or attend to what their hearts say will conclude that they did not do something good.

The servants cannot understand the way that they tread. God knows how to guide them through the best paths. For this reason, everything goes well for them (Rm 8.28). Since we are born of the Spirit, we must be like the wind, which does not know where it comes from or where it goes (Jo 3.8). The truth is that the servants of Christ will never stumble on the obstacles that the enemy put in their way (Ps 91.12). There is nothing better than having the Holy Spirit guiding us. It is rewarding to obey the divine commandments.

If you live distrusting your spouse and suffering with situations that you imagine that may be happening, you are not in the true way. It is time to pray to the Lord and ask for His help. The devil has been able to make many people to live in a way that is contrary to the divine plan, for many years. Examine yourself, and if necessary, change completely your way of living or believing. You will not be complete in your faith if you are not standing firm in the Word of God.

Those who let themselves be led by the Spirit of God will lack nothing (Ps 34.9). The servants of the Most High enjoy of His peace, His presence, and are filled of His Spirit. They are always used in the divine work. Jesus came so that we could live in abundance (Jo 10.10b). How have you lived? The way in which you live shows how you serve the Lord. Think about it!

In Christ, with love,
