Title: Don’t Trust Yourself
So I say, walk by the spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. Galatians 5:16
In the summer of 2013, God called me to work with the Young Adult Ministry. Instead of obeying the call, I argued with God for eighteen months. I didn’t really care for this generation and all their self-absorbed ways. It bordered on hate, and I couldn’t stomach the idea of ministering to this age group. I completely ignored the leading of the Spirit and ran the other way. When I finally listened, I saw how much I had been missing out on. The one thing that was constant during my argument with God was the leading and gentle nudging of the Holy Spirit. It was only when I gave into the leading of the Spirit that I could set aside my selfish feelings, and God then began to change my heart. I can now say that not walking in the Spirit caused me eighteen months of heartache, and looking back, it was a futile gesture. What are you missing out by not walking in the Spirit?
Real Men listen to the Spirit of God.
