 Have you every been going about your day and thought “There’s something about that….” ?

Maybe there’s something you don’t like about it.  Maybe there’s something you’re uneasy about.  Maybe there’s something that caught your attention or strikes you as odd.  Maybe there’s something about a person, a situation, the timing or some element or detail that you don’t really know, but there’s something about it…  On the other hand, maybe there’s something that you know you just have to do or have, maybe a place you need to go.  You’re not sure why, but there’s something about it….  It might be a good thing, even an excitement. 

That, my friend, can be the answer to your prayer.  That, my friend, can be the direction you are seeking for.  That, my friend, is coming from your spirit – the “knower” in you.  It may not seem reasonable or look logical.  You may not see how there’s anything about the person, situation or element that would need your attention.  You may not get any further details.  BUT, my friend, know that if there is “something” about it, then you need to pay attention.

We are not our thoughts.  Our thoughts can come from many sources.  The can control us and will create our future and reality if we do not pay attention and take authority over our thoughts and mind.  The question is “How can we discern what thoughts are what?

I believe that many people would prevent tragedies, stop wasting time and life, stop making wrong decisions or living in wrong timing if they could discern spirit from soul.  In addition to using God’s Word, the truths, principles and wisdom found in it (which we are told is as a double edge sword dividing between soul and spirit), the Word of God also tells us we have an “unction” and “know” all things.  That unction comes from our spirit and is of the spirit realm.

You see, with the natural mind, ears and eyes, we can be deceived.  Lies and deception are always presented as truth.  Someone lying to you or trying to deceive you, doesn’t come up and tell you that what they are about to say to you is a lie or that they are about to try deceiving you.   No, they will talk as if what they are saying is totally true.  God’s word says Satan, who is the father-of-lies, appears as an angel of light.  Let me ask you – how do you then discern what is truth and what is lies?  How do you discern if something is actually true light or an “appearance” of light?  Both would “look” like light.   Everything being said would “sound” right and seem “logical”. 

The only way you can discern, walk in wisdom, make quality decisions and be in right timing is beyond the human mind and logic.  The human mind is limited.  We can’t see other people’s hearts, minds and motives.  We can’t see our future.  However, we can know by the Spirit – the Holy Spirit who is of truth. Truth knows truth.  Just like water and oil could look exactly the same, but as soon as you mix the two, the oil molecules will separate toward and join the oil.  The water will gravitate and join the other water.  It involves spiritual laws and order.  You don’t have to tell the water and oil – they know.  They are.  The word says that the truth will set us free.  Spirit just knows because it is the part of us that is connected to the realm we are part of but that is also beyond us.  Good will gravitate and join with good.  Evil will gravitate and join to evil.

When you get that sense of “there’s something about….”, be aware that you, the spirit being “knows” something you are not picking up in the natural.   I had been looking for an administrative job for three years in this small town.  There didn’t seem to be one anywhere.  I ended up doing production work.  One day I just “decided” to go on the internet and check for jobs.  I came across a “cleaning” job.  Now, I wasn’t looking for a cleaning job, but there was “something” about it that caught my attention.  It made me pause and take a second look.  It wasn’t perfect, and it was less pay than what I was getting.  The positives would be it was close to home, less gas money and less time commuting to work and back.  I decided to take it because there was “something” about it.  The day I started the job, I discovered it wasn’t quite all I had been told it was.  It was full-time but only for 8 weeks.  They decided to give us a wool hat instead of uniforms and they wouldn’t be doing this and that.  I thought about walking out and seeing if I could get my old job back, but I didn’t have a sense of peace (another way to discern direction for your life and eliminating stress).  And there was still the fact that I had sensed “something” about that job.  To make a long story short, another company was taking over that contract.  When I went on their website, there was an administrative position. Who would have guessed that within seven weeks of starting that cleaning job, I walked right into an administrative position with the new company.  My point is that my spirit knew taking that cleaning job was going to lead to something else.  I was on the right track to where I wanted to go.  However in the natural realm, the cleaning job didn’t seem to have any connection to an administrative position.  There was no other job in sight.  But spirit knew and had got me going in the right direction when I stuck to “there’s something about that”.

Be aware that when you are travelling and you get the sense that “there’s something about that route, that car, that town” that makes you uneasy, you may need to stop and take a different route or car.  When you get the sense that “there’s something about that person”, I suggest you follow what you are getting in your spirit then in how to handle the situation.  Maybe you cancel an appointment, have a witness with you, check things out further or make a different decision.  If you have an uneasy sense about doing something at a certain time, I suggest you wait until you get some clarity.  I remember another time when I was going through cheques from the bank that had been cashed.  I was just flipping through them all, when “there was something” about one of them that seemed strange and caught my eye.  When I took a closer look, I realized that something on that cheque was not my writing – someone had changed the cheque and wrote my intials.  There was a part of me that “knew” something was wrong before my mind ever saw the details, let alone figured it out.  Even doing the right thing at the wrong time can be castatrophic.  If you have an uneasy sense about eating something, going somewhere or doing something, STOP and listen to the thought, idea, concept or insight you get that gives you peace instead.  Peace is the fruit of God’s spirit.  Peace is part of God’s presence.  Peace will not lie or be pushy.  Peace makes a wonderful friend to keep you company and keep you on the track of success.  So my friend, I encourage you to become aware of your thoughts.  Are they true?  Are they light or are they dark and heavy, like a burden in your mind and on your shoulder.  Choose your thoughts and which ones you let live your life.

**NOTE:  There can also be times when we sense “something” about someone or a certain situation that we need to deal with or confront.  It’s not always what we prefer to do, but there’s some truth that needs to be addressed, recognized or acknowledged.  When done in the appropriate way and time necessary, issues get resolved, truth is exposed and there can be great peace as a result.
