We \u00a0need to walk in accordance to His word but also respond to \u00a0every spiritual inclination we have within this surrendered attitude. We need to break away from tarnished \u2018me-ness\u2019 by actually responding to His ever-present \u2018Isness\u2019.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This is a whole new way of walking, depending on God\u2019s spiritual direction<\/strong> while moving about in this physical world. We are so constrained by, conformed and accustomed \u00a0to time, sight, feelings, and personal conditions that walking by faith and not by sight is a bit mysterious and strange.\u00a0 Yet, it is how real life is lived.\u00a0\u00a0 How do we familiarize ourselves with this manner of living.\u00a0 Well, we have to <strong>Go to Know<\/strong>.\u00a0 When we go and exercise even just one of God\u2019s promises, and only if we do this, will we discover it\u2019s truth.\u00a0 Take this verse for example from Proverbs 3:<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cTrust in the Lord with all your heart <strong>and lean not on your own understanding<\/strong>.\u00a0 In all your ways acknowledge Him and <strong>He Will<\/strong> direct your steps\u201d.\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Will He?<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0 Well, there is only one way to discover the answer and that is to actually trust Him and only move under His direction<strong>.\u00a0 The only way to know, is to go<\/strong>. This is something that takes practice, it is not natural to us.\u00a0 We must \u2018go\u2019 relying on Him to help us and then believe\/know that He is, independent of us and all else.\u00a0 That is surrender, going to know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>As we desire and attempt to live as we are invited to, we are met with challenges<\/strong>. We are so accustomed to and conformed by feelings, opinion, insecurity, pragmatism, societal or community norms etc. \u00a0that when we sense some spiritual leading, we question it.\u00a0 Is this God? Does this make sense? What will \u2018they\u2019 say? etc. \u00a0Though our desire is pure, we are persuaded to lean on our own understanding resulting in self-direction and frustration.<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-520 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/valordisciple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GotoKnow.png?resize=300%2C39&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/valordisciple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GotoKnow.png?resize=300%2C39&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/valordisciple.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/GotoKnow.png?w=600&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>God indeed knows all things and is not constrained to direct us into immeasurably more<\/strong>.

He has all our fear provoking \u2018what-ifs\u2019 covered. When we are walking well, we are simultaneously in His will and walking into His will. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0This can only happen when we move, act upon that which we sense His spirit is saying or directing us to do.<\/p>\n<p>I often will get a spiritual sense to turn left or right, or to call or text him or her etc\u2026.And I can easily reason why this is a good idea or not..or start to question whether this inclination is from God or is not\u2026and in so doing \u2013 I am back to trusting in my own understanding\u2026<strong>When I make my own decisions as to what might be God and what might not be God\u2026I am trusting then in myself<\/strong>.\u00a0 We need to, by \u2018going\u2019, fine tune our relationship with His Spirit. <strong>And, if indeed we are imperfect in our spiritual discernment- well God our perfect Father will not penalize us for our desire to know Him and He will work this for good as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221;
