Led Astray
Pagans = Gentiles = Heathen, but no longer
astray from?
Truth, Righteousness, Christ, God’s gifts
However you were led, you were led/influenced
Accursed or Lord?
Led by God
The leadership of God is always unified, unlike demonic leading astray
God leads His people
We are led by The Word
jn 14:
The leadership of God is NEVER contrary to the Word
The leadership of God is NEVER in place of the Word
The leadership of God is NEVER in addition to the Word
The Word is for everyone
Specific leading is for you
We are led in our minds
We should ask for wisdom
We should ask in faith
We should RECEIVE in faith too
This calls for discernment and balance!
We are led in the moment
act 16:
This is often the only intended meaning of “led by the Spirit” today
Our Spiritual “ears” should always remain open
If this is your primary means of leadership, then you are ignoring and rejecting God’s leadership
This is the most prone to error (even figuring in disagreement on interpretation of texts)
Paul draws a SHARP contrast between demonic leading astray from God and the unified purpose for God’s granting gifts because even good gifts can be misused and abused, which is a big reason this letter was written.
While Paul is speaking here about miraculous gifts that we may never see or experience in our age, the same holds true for the gifts that God has given and is giving today:
Gifts
1cor 12:6
All believers are gifted in some way
The best way to discover these is to apply what you know and be active in the life of the church
All believers are gifted individually
Because God values and desires diversity for His glory and health of the church
Because God is bigger than any box we could try to draw around Him
God’s purpose in your gifts is to help and bless others, especially in the local church
To use your gifts selfishly is sin
To use your gifts selfishly is sin
To hide and not use your gifts is sin
To use your gifts in line with God’s leading is the most blessed thing for everyone
No one can use their gifts in the local church if they are absent from it
This principle applies across the board: Spiritual gifts, natural talents, time, presence, effort, giving
Praise be to God for providing for the needs of His children and His churches through His children and His churches.
May God help us to rightly follow His leadership in blessing others with what God has given and is giving us.
