Are You Recognizing The Difference Between God Prompts and The Enemy's Bait?

What is prompting you?   To prompt means to cause someone to go in a certain direction.     What is causing you to go in the direction you are going today?   To shift and to move?   Is it God's word or your friends?   Is it God's word or your feelings?    What is causing you to do what you are doing right now?   Or what is prompting you to do what you will do tomorrow?   Is it fear or the feeling of failure?  

We have to learn how to let our "prompts" only come from God and His word.    We have to learn how to recognize the voice and pull of the Father.    When we recognize His voice and His pull we won't be taken by surprise and pulled based on fleshly pleasure.      Understand the word prompt also means to move quickly.     When we recognize that we are being "prompted" by the Father ... we have to begin to move "promptly" in the direction that He is leading us.    If we don't learn how to step out quickly with God and move when God is telling us to move ... we leave ourselves open.   Open to various suggestions and directions that the enemy will present.   

Today and everyday ... let's seek God "on" purpose.   So that when He calls ... we will hear, know, and recognize His voice and His pull.    So that we will be able to distinguish when we are being prompted by the Father versus something the enemy may be trying to use as bait.   Understand the difference between a God prompt and the enemy's bait.   Recognize that bait is used to entice, lure, and decoy.   Don't get caught in the enemy's trap.    Amen.
