LETTING  H I M   LEAD  

So, after Praying and asking JESUS to speak to you, you hear this voice in your
Mind's ear you know isn't your own. You KNOW IT'S HIM !  After the SHOCK and
EXHILARATION wears off.  Realization of what just occurred begins to sink in, you
start to have conversations with HIM in and around your daily Prayers. From that
point on HE becomes your SHEPHERD.  HE  starts GUIDING HIS SHEEP right
after introducing HIMSELF as such, by finally SPEAKING to you.  You have become
one of HIS SHEEP.  HE "LEADS" HIS SHEEP.  So HE LEADS You. "IF" you let HIM.  Because you now have a "Relationship" with HIM,  HE asks you to "ware HIS
YOKE ".  That means you subject yourself to the tests of Faith HE has especially
designed for you from the beginning.  Owing to your acknowledgement of HIM now
being your SHEPHERD,  you accept HIS YOKE and thereby submit to HIS COMPLETE direction of your LIFE.  So the TESTS begin.  They take you downhill.
I mean DOWNHILL !   You and the World begin to SEPERATE.  It is hard and painfull.  You lose friends, processions and yes, even family members will distance
themselves from you, some, even start to become hostile towards you.  Pretty tough row to hoe.  Not everybody sticks with it, and that's a Shame. Big Mistake !
But those that have stuck with it and are there now, aren't living the GOOD LIFE that
modern Christianity is putting out there today.  But remember, ALL THINGS GOD
DOES IS FOR your GOOD. We know this in our Hearts and from HIS WORD.
      As our life now spirals down to the "Low Room", and listening to this "Prosperity
Gospel" which is the "New Christianity", we, being Human, ask the LORD if HE
could lighten HIS YOKE a bit.  We do this in Prayer and Supplication. This I did. This
was HIS actual answer:  "Why? What am I doing wrong?"............Seek HIS VOICE !

                     MARANATHA !

Ps.  In a recent conversation with HIM, I casually said, I didn't think that I would've
        got to this age.  HE replied "Yeah, it took you a long time to get right with ME"
