Where You lead, I Will Follow

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. (John 10:27)

Jesus refers to us as sheep. If we are His sheep, meaning saved through the washing of His blood on the cross, then we will hear His voice. Over the past year and half, I have found myself with a finer tuning in my hearing regarding the things He is saying to me. I spend more time ruminating on those things I hear more than before, not so quick to make a rash move forward. Yet I am also being more obedient than ever as well. It was at this same time of the year that I had a six-day encounter with the Lord like NEVER before. On day seven I was ready to do what I had heard Him saying to me, I was learning obedience in the richest form. In the book of (Jeremiah 7:23) God commanded saying, ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people. And walk in all the ways I have commanded you, that it may be well with you.’ Surrender & Obedience rose up in me in like NEVER before. Not only that, but I had been emptied completely and filled with new wine just as in (Mark 2:22) there was a new covenant of grace. I was SO full of the new wine (Holy Spirit) that is, I was overflowing, I literally felt drunk. I continued saying, I can’t take anymore, but then, I would immediately gasp for more, there was no way I was not going to receive ALL that the Lord had for me. Again, this was a new thing. I had only experienced something to this magnitude one other time in my 30 years of living for Him. When God calls you to obedience, follow where He is leading you, I promise just like He said, “that it may be well with you.” That overflow I spoke of was revealed to me by the Holy Spirit that it was important that I receive it because it wasn’t for me, but for others. I soon was to find out what He meant by that. A lot happened over this past year and half that proved every word I heard. This BLOG is now just another part of the process of; Hearing, Surrender & Obedience, with a bit of INTENTIONALITY!

Follow Where He Leads ~

I am a Northerner by birth, a Southerner by choice. I moved from Michigan directly after High School to Texas, I currently live in Arkansas. I am married to the man that changed my whole outlook on relationships, together we share 4 children, 12 grandchildren and recently a great-grandchild, as well as many other children we call our own. I have been raising children all my adult life in one form or another, from my own, to fostering, to teaching at school & church and any that were just in need of a mom. l received salvation when I was 12 years old at vacation Bible school with my grandfather who was a Minister. I didn't find out what a Christian was until I was 33, that's when my life began to change. I have been studying the Word of God ever since, but more importantly I have come to know Him. I never had the daddy/daughter relationship with my earthly father, but I certainly do now with my heavenly Father. I can't even tell you how blessed I am to have come to the understanding of who I am because of what He has done. I know I am a sinner saved by grace and grateful for it. I am not where I want to be, but I also know I'm not where I used to be, Praise be to God! Currently I am retired and by the direction of the Holy Spirit I have been given an assignment to write, with great intention. That He, my Father might be glorified. View all posts by Debbie Simmons
