WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING?

Recently, I was awakened at 2:36 AM by the loud voice of Holy Spirit in my spirit. I was alarmed but heard crystal clear: “WHO ARE YOU FOLLOWING?” I listened and pondered, as the question remained on repeat for about an hour and a half.

Who are you following? Because whoever or whatever you FOLLOW is where you will go.

Who are you following? Jesus or Satan?
Who are you following? Truth or lies?
Who are you following? Faith or fear?
Who are you following? Love or hate?
Who are you following? Black or white?
Who are you following? Man or woman?
Who are you following? Good or bad?
Who are you following? Prosperity or poverty?
Who are you following? Career or couch?
Who are you following? Drugs or alcohol?
Who are you following? Sickness or health?
Who are you following? Exercise or idleness?
Who are you following? Baptist or Methodist?
Who are you following? Catholic or Jew?
Who are you following? Tucker Carlson or Wolf Blitzer?
Who are you following? Your Bible or Instagram?
Who are you following? Democrats or Republicans?
Who are you following? Harris or Trump?
Who are you following? Your will or God’s?

These are not “either, or” questions, just questions to think about.

Who are you following? Who is influencing your life?

In scripture when Jesus called his disciples in Matthew 4:19, 8:22, 9:9, He did not say, “Come, be a Christian.” He said, “If any [man] will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” [Mat 16:24 KJV]

If I am a follower, I am going to walk like you, talk like you, think like you, act like you, and believe like you. Right?

Jesus made it pretty easy for us follow him. It all comes down to one thing he said, “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” [John 15:12 NKJV]

I enCOURAGE you to pause and ask yourself in every area of your life, “Who are you following?” Jesus wants it all and not part. He cannot be your Savior in all, if He is not your Lord of all.

Recently, Holy Spirit showed me something I’d been doing for years, but NEVER ask Him about it. He took me to school again with Psalms 32:8-9, “I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. 9 Do not be like the horse [or] like the mule, [Which] have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.”

If we follow Him, He will show us the way to go in every way, if we don’t act like a stubborn mule. He is the Way!
