It directs and leads you in the right direction. Our heavenly GPS warns and convicts us of sin in our lives. The holy spirit aids and assists us, giving us insight planting our steps as we trust, to walk in the holiness in the purpose and plan of God has for us. GPS = Gods Plan of Salvation. Walking in Grace each day in divine council. It is the power on high to witness to others the love and forgiveness of Jesus Christ.
Pray....Lord help me to listen to the gentle wooing of the Holy Spirit to follow the path of truth. Let your Holy Spirit Lead and guide me as i walk daily, following my inner GPS in you trusting and obeying the word....

"Godly Wisdom"
God has given us as believers a hidden wisdom of God. My ways are not your ways, my thinking not yours. God is revealed to us by his Holy Spirit, that we may know his son Jesus and receive the gits he has given to us. that we may walk according to the will and purpose of the father. the father, son, and the holy spirit come together in agreement as one, but three parts that all help to guide us on a spiritual path of truth according to the word of god which is true. understanding the gifts of god and spiritual truths give us wisdom, and lead us to know the right path from the wrong one. god has imparted this to us as believers to discern good from evil, that we may walk accordingly to gods way and not our own agenda, or the sinful ways of the world, judging all things with the mind of Christ.
Pray... " Lord, help me to walk in the spirit of god, not the flesh and the things of this world. Renew my mind daily to think as you would, walking in the plan and purpose of your perfect will for me. Help me to discern things that are not pleasing to you, and to turn around my steps and thinking. Let my actions show love to all in gentleness. open my heart to forgive. impart mercy to serve you, and aid me by your spirit in grace as i walk this life as your disciple, giving me godly wisdom. may integrity, truth, and righteousness be in all my steps. "
Read.... Corinthians, what no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor human heart has conceived what god has prepared for those who love him. 2 Corinthians v10... these things god has revealed to us through the spirit, for the spirit searches everything, even the depths of god. V11 for what person knows a mans thoughts except the human spirit that is within? so also no one comprehends what is truly gods except the spirit of God.
The spirit interprets spiritual things to those who know him and have the mind of Christ, giving wisdom.
2 Corinthians 2 V16 ... Do you not know that you are gods temple and that gods spirit dwells in you?

"All of Me"
.. the flesh is an enemy to the spirit. The flesh wants what it wants, craves or desires.... Now! The flesh is like a barracuda flesh monster, never having enough, but wants more and all it can consume, leading unto death in the spirit. Whatever you feed the most, flesh or spirit will rise up. The flesh monster will devour You. If you feed the spirit man it will bring life to your soul like a well watered garden. Gifts in the spirit, and spiritual growth ill begin to manifest itself bring healing to your soul like a salve.... The Balm of Gilead.... God wants you to grow, succeed and be victorious in the things of God, Feeding the spirit man to rise up and be a witness in the kingdom of God....
Pray..... Lord help this flesh bend and submit to your will daily. Let me not feed that flesh man, that wants to devour me, and destroy me. Help me to give all that i am, because you are the great I Am. The I Am lives in me. I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me (phillipians 4 v13). My thoughts, my heart, my desires in me that your anointing will pour down, and fill all of me to the overflow so i may shine for your glory, and be all that i am in You...
read.... Romans 8 v12 .... We are debtors, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh, for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but by the spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body you will live. (be lead by the spirit)
Roman 8 v 1-17 We are called children of god to live by his spirit in righteousness, his spirit bearing witness with ours, heirs of God, and joint heirs in Christ.

"Turning Point"
I Shake inside God. sometimes i fee so uncertain, everything is changing so fast. Like my feet in the sand as the tide pulls the water and sand from under me out to see. "I'm over my head, the current is too strong, Help me, I think i'm drowning!"
My child, I am your God, sovereign in every circumstance. You can rest in my peace knowing i will work all out for your good with my plan and purpose for you. i show my glory in the situation and circumstances that can seem disastrous, but my hand is still in control of everything. I do not make mistakes, all will be done according to my will. watch, wait, pray and trust in me.
personal prayer: Lord, help me to stand in difficult times on your word. your promises are true. you are my strength, courage, my joy and my hope.
Psalms 32:8 i will instruct you, teach you in the way you should go. i will council you and watch over you.
" the lord is my confidence and in him i will trust."

"Surrounded by Lions"
David 6:22 -My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight.
Sometimes, it feels like you are surronded by lions and everyone and everything is just coming at you at once to devour you. Sometimes it feels like there is no way out. Just remember that even when you cannot see a way out, God sees it because he created it for just this time. He is not confined by what is possible- he can do the impossible. He created the possible so he must be fay beyond what is possible. He will send His angels to you. You may be thinking Oh, but I am not innocent like David. David was only innocent in the eyes of God, because God is his father. When David does make a mistake, God forgives it and forgets it because He loves David like a father loves his son. So, it is the same with you. God is your father, too. You have forgiveness and freedom in His sight. He loves you and will send His angels to shut the lion's mouth. Thank you Jesus. Amen.
David 6:23 The kind was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

"And Then There was Four"
Daniel 3:25 He (the King Nebuchadnezar) said 'Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like the Son of God.
Jesus was with Daniel's wise men when the king bound them and threw them in the furnance. Sometimes it feels like life has put our back to the wall. We get into out water sometimes, but Jesus is with you, too. When things look impossible, God can make a way. By all laws of nature, the fire should have burned Daniel's wise men alive, but God is in control of all the laws of nature. He created them, so he can bend them. He can make a way where there seems to be no way. Trust and believe that the Son of God is walking with you today. Thank you Jesus. Amen
