DON'T WAIT TO HEAR FROM GOD!

DON'T WAIT TO HEAR FROM GOD!

James 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.

You don’t need to hear from God to do things that are clearly written in the scriptures. You just have to act on God’s word. Of course God can speak to you on things that He has already stated in the scriptures – but it will only be clarity on direction.

This happened during Apostle Paul’s expedition of preaching the gospel. At one time they had wanted to go preach in Bithynia but the Holy Ghost restrained them from going there.

Acts 16:6-7 [6]Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,
[7]After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.

Notice the Holy Ghost was not stopping them from preaching the gospel of Jesus as ordained by Him in the Great commission. He only gave them further directions.

Also, it is worthy of note that the Apostles were not just sitting down waiting for the Holy Ghost to tell them to go preach the gospel. They were already on the move in preaching the gospel in obedience to the great commission. And while doing that they only received further directions from the Holy Ghost.

You have to act on the word as enshrined in the scripture. And while you are on that journey, if there is any need of further instructions the Holy Ghost will give it to you.

You can only steer a ship that is in motion. A ship that is anchored in the safety of the habour cannot be steered to anywhere. It has to be moving before it can be steered. It is when you start acting on the word of God in the scriptures, then you can be given further directions regarding that journey of faith.

Instructions that are clear in the scripture, you don't need to wait to hear the Holy Ghost speak to you before you act on them. You just go ahead and act on them by faith. Glory to God!
