Discernment And Decisions By Faith In Jesus Christ Crucified by ochibuogwu5: 8:37pm On Jan 06, 2021
Some events that teaches us how to take discern and take decisions by faith in Jesus Christ Crucified:

"Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins."
(Matthew 1:18-21 KJV)


Those human being who are just/righteous in the eyes of God *operate their lives by faith* and when they *resolve to take any decision or action based upon faith in Jesus Christ Crucified* but it is not in agreement with the *perfect-will of God*, the Holy Spirit *instantly prompts them within or causes something to happen that will stop them from engaging in such decision or actions* in the same vain when a human being who lives by faith does not know what to do or decide or even forget what they ought to do the Holy Spirit *instantly prompts them within to remind them on what to decide or engage or causes something to happen that will lead them on the correct path*


Hence submit your lifestyle to the control of the Holy Spirit and you will never be overwhelmed by the certainty or fear of the unknown or mistakes.


Here is another example of taking actions and decisions by faith under the submission of the HOLY SPIRIT.....


"And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples (altogether the number of names was about a hundred and twenty), and said, 16 “Men and brethren, this Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus; 17 for he was numbered with us and obtained a part in this ministry.”
18 (Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. 19 And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood.)
20 “For it is written in the Book of Psalms:
‘Let his dwelling place be desolate,
And let no one live in it’;
and,
‘Let another take his office.’
21 “Therefore, of these men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, 22 beginning from the baptism of John to that day when He was taken up from us, one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection.”
23 And they proposed two: Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. 24 And they prayed and said, “You, O Lord, who know the hearts of all, show which of these two You have chosen 25 to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.” 26 And they cast their lots, and the lot fell on Matthias. And he was numbered with the eleven apostles." (Acts 1:15-26 NKJV)

Going further the Holy Spirit gives us a confirmation that He as our Teacher will not allow us to walk in the wrong path even though every circumstance around us seems so dark and confusing thus:

"And though the Lord gives you
The bread of adversity and the water of affliction,
Yet your teachers will not be moved into a corner anymore,
But your eyes shall see your teachers.
21 Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
“This is the way, walk in it,”
Whenever you turn to the right hand
Or whenever you turn to the left." (Isaiah 30:20-21 NKJV)

Great Grace Brethren!!!
