My Gut Feeling

Intuition is something God gives you the day you are born here on the Earth. It’s that unexplainable feeling that can give you a true insight into someone’s character through hearing what’s not being said or with their body language. Intuition whispers in your ear to speak an encouraging word or do a good deed to a friend or stranger (see Uncomfortable, but Needed).

Your conscience beckons you to give someone a second chance that’s hurt you by reminding you of the many times you’ve goofed up. Intuition beckons you to do the right thing no matter how painful it may be to you both personally and professionally. (My opinion is that intuition, conscience, and God’s leading are all terms used to describe the same event.)

If we listen to God’s leading every time we feel the desire to do something positive or helpful for ourselves or someone else, wouldn’t this world be a much better place? God directing (our lives by us listening to what He lays on our heart) always turns out for the better. If you think you are being lead to do something that’s not in alignment with the Bible, chances are Satan (also called the Devil or Lucifer) is behind it.

James 4:17 (NLV) tells us to “Remember, it is a sin to know what you ought to do and then not do it.” This means when you manage to talk yourself out of (or logic away from giving) a positive word or deed to someone that are transgressing. Why is that? My feelings are that is wrong to rob someone of a blessing, or God’s will in their life.

How can you know the positive impact your act could have had in a person’s existence if you had the faith to step out to do what you were being lead to do. Your goodness might change the whole trajectory of another person’s life path. God desperately needs you to make a positive difference in another individual’s life.
