God's Leading

I read a wonderful article by Jill Briscoe on following God's will. Jill says "Once I sense the direction that God is leading, I need to have a personal Gethsemane, a personal Calvary and a personal Pentecost.

Personal Gethsemane - She explains that this is when you are aligning yourself with the will of God when you don't want to do what He is calling you to do. Our prayer changes to be "like His and that His will be done and not my own."

Personal Calvary - She explains that this is where the "I" gets crucified and we are "dying" to what we really want to do.

Personal Pentecost - This is where Jill says we "receive the power to do what we know deep down we need to do"


GREAT STUFF
