Galatians 5:16
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.

Jesus is the blueprint of God for your life. The Bible says that we have all sinned and corrupted his perfect, righteous image in which we were originally created. Indeed, God sent us the Law of Moses, but it was rendered powerless in that it was weakened by our sinful nature. Therefore, he sent Jesus, his only begotten Son, to reconcile us to himself. Because Jesus is God in the flesh, he was and is perfectly sinless. Even so, God’s plan was to allow Jesus to take the curse of sin upon himself when he died for us on the cross. You see, God imputed Jesus with your sin at Calvary so that you could be imputed with his righteousness through repentance and by faith. Only in Christ can you become the righteousness of God. Jesus in you is God’s original plan for your life.

Many people think that they need to work really hard to earn God’s favour, but this is impossible. God is so holy and so righteous that we would need to become as righteous as he is in order to earn his favour. But Jesus is already as righteous as God, because Jesus is God. Therefore, to be holy as God is holy, you and I need to intentionally repent of sin and then live our lives by faith. The moment you truly admit to your failings, you die to the old nature of sin. Then, the moment you truly exercise faith in Jesus, you begin to live by God’s righteousness.

Jesus told us to seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. When you asked Jesus into your life, God’s righteousness was imputed into your spirit-man; that is, you were implanted with God’s goodness. When you seek God’s righteousness, you are actually seeking to live by the newly created spirit-man within you and not the flesh-man on the outside.

Therefore, to know and walk according to the plans of God; to live by his righteousness and kingdom principles, you and I need to learn to live out the newly created inner nature. God does have a great and perfect blueprint for your life, but you will only discover his plans by living by the Spirit, in faith.

God-tracking is faithfully living by God’s righteous blueprint.

“I claim your plans for my life as I choose to live by your blueprint and not by my own selfish ambitions.”

“Dear God, thank you so much that Jesus took my sin upon himself at Calvary so that I can be forgiven and cleansed. Thank you that you have given me new life in Christ, and renewed a right spirit within me. I praise you that it is no longer I who live but Christ who lives in me. Therefore, the life I live in the flesh I live by faith in your righteousness. Jesus is the blueprint of your goodness by which I stand. So, I claim your plans for my life as I choose to live by your blueprint and not by my own selfish ambitions. For your glory. Amen.”

“As you surrender to the autumn, like an oak tree glorious in its dying, so you will yield pleasing fruit in the new season. Whatever you do will prosper.

Psalm 1:3
He is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.

Squealing children run through the bright autumnal fall beneath the regal oak as it sighs upon their heads magnificent orange, red and yellow. Arms outstretched, the tree resigns to its destiny to be as though dead for the next five months. It’s been a good summer. Birds have nested and their young have fledged. The sun has streamed upon its majesty in the glow of green but now the tree is dying to its former brilliance and yet, somehow glorious in its dying. Beneath the soil it survives and strengthens. Slowly with every passing day of winter its ancient roots take hold, bravely extending deeper and deeper into the earth so that at the next season of green, it will be more secure to boldly reach from glory to glory.

We read in Scripture, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me,” and “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.”  Like that oak tree that appears to die when the autumn comes, so we appear to die when we surrender to Christ. We all have that old sinful nature to crucify in the promise that we will live in Christ. In Christ we become new creations; old things pass away and all things become new.

Sometimes God requires that we lay down our dreams or aspirations. Sometimes it’s for our good that we need to surrender ambitions before we can know God’s fresh new life. Scripture makes it clear, the former things have come to pass and God is declaring things new. As you surrender to the autumn, like an oak tree glorious in its dying, so you will soon yield pleasing fruit in the new season. Whatever you do will prosper.

God-tracking is dying to self.

“As I die to the old self, I know, in you, I am glorious in my dying.”

“Dear Lord, forgive me for holding onto old ambitions. I know now that these have come to pass and that you have new things in store for me. I choose to let go of past dreams, ideals and aspirations – I crucify the old life – that I may flourish as a tree planted by streams of water. As I die to the old self, I know, in you, I am glorious in my dying. Amen.”

“We need to hone the skill of listening with our hearts as we read the Bible, interpret circumstances and decipher well-meaning advice.”

John 10:27
My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.

You know, the hardest part of following God’s will is learning to hear his so-called, “still small voice”. Ever since I began understanding the ways of God, I have been taught that God seldom speaks through the obvious, he speaks through a gentle whisper.

God once told the prophet Elijah that he was going to reveal himself to him. So, he told Elijah to wait on a mountain top and he would pass by. A violent wind came then an earthquake and then a fire but these did not reveal God. Eventually, a still whisper came, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”

I believe that the objects of the universe reflect the nature and purposes of the Creator. For instance, God created our hearing mechanism in two parts: the outer ear and the inner ear. The outer ear funnels sound waves toward the eardrum, which separates the two parts of the ear. The eardrum, in turn, turns the external vibrations into internal vibrations, which are detected by our inner ear. Voila, we hear! You see, ultimately, it is the inner ear that turns a whisper into a word.

In following the will of God, we need to hear his word. However, what makes things complicated is the fact that the Holy Spirit’s “still small voice” is totally inaudible to the natural ear. Therefore, we need to hone the skill of listening with our hearts as we read the Bible, interpret circumstances and decipher well-meaning advice. As Billy Graham
said, “The word of God hidden in the heart is a stubborn voice to suppress.”

To discern that still small voice you need to learn to funnel the wind, the earthquake, the fire and the whisper into the inner part – your spirit. To track the plans and purposes of God for your life, you need to listen with your inner ear.

God-tracking is listening with your inner ear.

It’s All In The Bible. Read All About It. (NKJV)

So, don’t give up, look up & pray!

“Help me to understand you and to hear that still small voice of your Spirit.”

“Father God, thank you for sending Jesus to speak into our world as the Word of God. I rejoice too, dear Jesus, that you know me personally. I affirm that I have opened my heart’s ear – my “inner ear” – to your voice and confess Jesus Christ to be my personal Lord and God. I choose, therefore, to listen to the voice of Christ as my shepherd and follow his lead. Help me, O God, to interpret your word to me in whichever form it comes. Help me to understand you and to hear that still small voice of your Spirit. Today I choose to follow your lead. Amen.”
