2020.10.02 Correction -- re limitations on being Spirit Led Created by James on 12/19/2020 1:06:16 PM For many years I have prayed along the lines of "Father help me to be led by your Spirit every second of every day in every possible way".

2020.10.02 Correction -- re limitations on being Spirit Led
For many years I have prayed along the lines of "Father help me to be led by your Spirit every second of every day in every possible way".
Recently I made a very bad business decision assuming that I WAS being so led.
Initially I was angry with Father.
When I first got on my knees to ask what went wrong He pointedly told me I did NOT ask His opinion so He was not able to help me.
In due course I came to a place where I was calmer and on further inquiring He pointed out to me that we are called to Rule on Earth by His Spirit which requires that, as He has said to me many times, "you are NOT a Glove Puppet" meaning that we have to exercise our own discretion and judgment.
Accordingly I want to advise a correction in the advice I have given on the website.
Do NOT pray as I have indicated above. Note that for the same reasons there are limitations on prayers like "open the doors you want opened in my life and close the doors you want closed" and "bring the people you want into my life and take the people you do not want in my life out" -- these prayers are applicable to new believers and inexperienced believers, they are NOT applicable as you grow and mature and are expected to take responsibility for your actions in life and in service to Father.
It is really important to recognize that WE MUST exercise discretion, judgment and discernment in our day to day decision making both in general living AND commerce AND ministry.
Apologies if you have taken me at my word and been praying as above.
Warm regards and blessings
James Robertson
