COUNSEL WITHIN

Counsel in the heart of man is like deep water; but a man of understanding will draw it out. — PROVERBS 20:5

Although God does lead through visions and other supernatural manifestations, I would encourage you not to seek a vision.

Do not seek visions or similar experiences. Why? Because you might getbeyond the Word, where the devil can deceive you.

(See Second Corinthians 11:14.)

Sometimes we would prefer to have a more direct word of guidance. But we don’t always get it. So don’t try to

manufacture one if it doesn’t happen. Nowhere does the Bible say that believers sought these experiences, or that they were seeking visions when they came. The visions just happened without people seeking for them.

Be content if all you ever have is the inward witness. Be content to follow that witness. But educate, train, and develop

your human spirit to the point where that witness becomes more and more real to you. Then, if God sees fit to give you supernatural visitations and

manifestations, just thank Him for them.

Confession

I will educate, train, and develop my human spirit so that the inward witness will become more and more real to me.
