Being Free To Be Guided

When we let go of wants, thoughts and feelings, we can eventually reach a state where we become free from allowing people, circumstances and objects to control us by allowing them to elicit an emotional response in us. This could be likened to a condition of surrender. It is only when we are in a condition of surrender, with no attachments or aversions to things, that we are able to know the will of God in our hearts as we embrace His love within us; another way of putting it is that we become in-tune with our higher self. But as long as we continue to allow our thoughts and feelings to dominate us, we resist, or even forfeit, the love of God.

It is only through surrender and love that we are able to fully obey God and live according to His will for our lives. Christians often anxiously seek to know what God’s will is for their lives. Yet God’s will for our lives is not something that you can be told, as such. God’s will for your life is something that can be understood only through knowing and it has to be experienced.

When we ask God for direction through prayer or when we ask other people what we should do for God, we are ignoring the fact that He promised that He would lead us by the Holy Spirit. If we become confused about the will of God for our lives, it is because we are trying to figure out the will of God in our minds and trying to obey Him with our own soul (mind, will and emotions).

The truth of the matter is that the soul cannot effectively lead us and make decisions for our lives, without taking instruction from our spirit, our heart, which is our true self which is in contact with God’s Spirit. When we are in a condition of surrender to God, we are more submitted to the truth of “what is”, than to the false reality that we have created in our minds.

When we are set free from the wrong beliefs which have limited us by keeping us separate from the truth of God, we find ourselves in the right places at the right times doing the right things with the right people, etc. This is known as synchronicity.
