From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
“You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve.
JOHN 6:66-67
The spirit of God is fueled by your conscious desire to be obedient to the Spirit of God. As you listen - and obey the Lord's voice and spirit that does live in all those whom call Jesus Lord - Your peace and joy are brought full. The Lords peace allows you to see his point of view - his discernment in your life will take new shape.
To hear the Lord and choose another action to take will lead you into a murky wilderness of confusion. Jesus is truth - the spirit of God gives you "the way" - the Lord is the light and life of man - Walk in obedience and be renewed in Jesus once more.
The truth of Christ will cause your consciousness of self desires to be brought more forward in your mind. In this - an internal debate of personal rights will ensue inside of you. It is within the debate of self rights where a battle against the Lord takes place. This is where the disciple rejects his right to himself at all cost and follows Jesus in faith. The one who deserts the Lord and backslides into the natural chooses his own truth over that of the risen Lord.
Faith in Jesus is to accept an understanding of a new way of life - unlike the version of life you had been living before you met the Lord. He is the cornerstone. Trust in the one that knows why you were born. Have faith in the one that never changes. Follow Jesus all the way to the brink - He will never leave you or forsake you.
