Make Decisions With Faith And Confidenceعينة

Launch Out The main idea of “trying it on” is to do something, to give the Holy Spirit something to witness to. It’s the same theory that says you can’t steer a parked car – it has to be moving in order for steering to happen. It’s much easier for the Holy Spirit to steer us when we’re already moving in a direction. I envision it like this: you have to be moving in a certain direction in the natural for God to come along and add His super to it. Then you have the s upernatural ! For example, a ship at anchor never catches the wind—only the ships that have launched out and are headed in a direction will catch the wind when it comes up. They’re the only ones that will actually make the trip and end up where they’re supposed to be. The ship that stays anchored in the harbor never gets anywhere. Your part and mine is to take a step. Try it on. Launch out. Then check with the Holy Spirit to see if you are taking the right direction. First Corinthians 2:9, 10 say, “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him. But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit . For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.” God is waiting to reveal things to you, but if you stay in one place—if you keep your anchor down—you may never take any steps of faith and never end up at your divine destination. Sometimes it’s scary to get moving. There is risk involved. But I once heard someone say that while ships in the harbor may be safe, ships weren’t built to sit in the harbor. No, they are meant to sail on the open waters—just like you are meant to “sail” a course with God! You weren’t handcrafted and gifted by God to do nothing. Don’t be afraid to launch out.
