While God does speak or communicate to us in various ways through ....
- His Word,
- Circumstances,
- A sense of inner peace,
- A deep conviction, or
- In a Word that you sense deeply is from him,
- It is never contrary to his Word, and it is never manipulative.
Unfortunately "the Lord told me" is sometimes used as a way of controlling or manipulating others to get one's own way, and/or for being a 'power broker'
When this happens, we need to recognize it for what it is, -& NOT buy into it.
And we need to make sure that we don't do it, ....... ourselves.
God doesn't need us to, arm-twist for him.
God desire..... Truth in my innermost being
Ask His' help to be always truthful to myself, to others, and to Him, and never seek to control anything or anybody in His Name or in any other way..... Ever!
Pray for discernment when others are attempting to arm-twist for God.
Shalom & Maranatha
