Good, Great, God!!

Sometimes we attempt to make moves and/or choices to reach goals; in which we hope to become rich/ famous. When we are aware of our purpose... many counterfeit opportunities will appear that will be good and great, but I rather have a God opportunity. (Phil 1:6) He who started a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. Seek first the kingdom!

I have come across different teaching on Discernment vs Judgment, relating to focus. In bible study, my pastor taught on this topic and blessed me. God wants us to prosper, so he can get the glory. The devil will send a counterfeit to draw one away from God's purpose. I am learning to improve my discernment, by staying in the word (Bible), praying, and having daily devotional with Christ.

Ways to determine if a situation is of God:

Judging the Fruit - Yes, is there joy, love, kindness, self-control, peace. Galatians 5:22-23

Who Gets the Glory - Yes, does this build the kingdom of God, and will God get the glory. Psalm 115:1

Seek Godly Counsel - Yes, having godly accountability that will help you on your path. Psalm 37:30

Yield to the Holy Ghost - Yes, surrendering your life to God. James 4: 7-10

Remember God loves you, and he is always speaking. Learn his voice!

1 John 4:1 - Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Matthew 6:33 - Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need
