Keys to Kingdom Living with Pastor Asa Dockery

In the book of Proverbs, we're instructed to place our complete trust in the Lord instead of leaning on our own understanding. As Christians, we must be willing to acknowledge God in ALL our ways and allow Him to direct our steps or decisions in life. It is God who has given us the privilege of having free-will. However, apart from the wisdom of God, and since we have the freedom of choice, we run the risk of making poor and even destructive decisions in life.

Just like Jeremiah, the enemy has launched attacks against the people of God in an attempt to shut up the voice of God in the earth. In spite of the current situations that we face and the opposition from our adversaries, we must train ourselves to turn to the Lord in faith. In the same way that God spoke to Jeremiah in the prison, God desires to show us His divine plan; even so, we must be willing to pray.

Paul teaches us in Romans 10 that faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. As we set our hearts to listen to God's Word and receive it as truth, it will begin to illuminate our understanding and reveal what is in our hearts. After we have been enlightened by the Word, we must decide whether to align our life with it or to remain the same old person. You see; God's truth or "light" not only gives us understanding, but it also corrects wrong thinking and wrong action.

Are you walking through a hard trial right now? Well, if you're a child of God, then you have the assurance from the Holy Spirit that God is with you.
