You Know!

You know what to do and you will be blessed if you do it! Many people seem to get confused when it comes to following God but the process is really not difficult because you already know what to do. Stop questioning, and reasoning and arguing with God and just do what you know. You have an “inner knowing” because the one who knows everything lives inside of you. If you have received the Lord Jesus then the Spirit of the Great Shepherd is in you. Your Protector, Teacher, Comforter, Counselor, Guide and Helper is right there always within you communicating with you and when you listen then “You Know” what to do. There are many outside voices but it’s the inner knowing that you need to listen to. The reason most people get out of the will of God is not because they don’t know what to do but because they don’t want to do what they know. They can’t see how doing what they know will bring about the desired outcome so they procrastinate and try to figure out another way. Maybe the leading is not magnificent enough and many times there is no leading at all. You don’t need to be constantly carried and instructed when you already know where you are going. Another reason people fail to reach Gods desired destination is because they are impatient and in a hurry. You can’t “hurry up” God’s will you can only walk in it. Everything grows and manifests on His timetable when we follow Him weather we like it or not. If we really believe in Gods ability to lead us then the pressure is on Him and not on us and He knows what He’s doing. Contending with and understanding all the forces of the universe is too much for us so God takes care of that and simply leads us one step at a time. His instructions are not elaborate or to difficult to understand. It’s as easy as the child’s game “follow the Leader.” The challenge is just making yourself DO WHAT YOU KNOW even when you don’t understand why. You don’t need to know why. Because it’s God’s direction that’s why! If you knew all the details you couldn’t understand it anyway so why try? All you need to know is the “what” and it seems to me that most of the time that people seeking God already know what to do they just need to get on with it. When it comes to following the Shepherd if you’re one of His sheep it’s easy because it comes naturally. So what are you gonna do? You Know!


John 10:3-6
3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. 5 Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers."
NKJV

John 10:27
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
NKJV

1 John 2:20-21
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.
NKJV

1 John 2:27
27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
NKJV

John 13:13-17
13 You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. 15 For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you. 16 Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. 17 If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.
NKJV

John 14:4
And where I go you know, and the way you know."
NKJV
