God's gift of intuition

I saw this book, ‘The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker’ and went ‘wow’; what a thought. Then I read this quote from the book-


True fear is a gift.

Unwarranted fear is a curse.

Learn how to tell the difference

At this point, I was intrigued and thought how this plays into the way the Father speaks to us, and we do not listen. See, this is a book about following your intuition, so that you can avoid and/or protect yourself against assault on your person. However, I wondering if that same intuition happens for us period; about danger, love, goodness, truth, lie, etc. Yet, we let our education, experience, what has been taught make us shake it off, rather than follow. We all have it but we do not all use it. Remember when Rahab help the twelve, and her family to be saved. Why did she do that? Was it a sense of a truth she knew, but had no reference point to following to act but she did; intuition spoke louder than her life experience. What about Elihu in his conversation with Job, he was the only one of the five who spoke rightly of God; remember. Where did this come from, this younguns’ knew better that the aged, learned man, and was willing to speak up during this time, and suffer the consequence? Really? Something told him a truth that culture mores and traditions did not. See, we all have this ability, and what do we do with it? Most of us just have taught ourselves to ignore it, closed our ear to it, and see it has a nuisance. Yet, it save lives, blesses lives, helps us to avoid problems, and brings us closer to our destiny and our greatest. Doing the thing that our intuition tells us, and I not talking about this madness that has to do with eyes, lust, external, but this sense addresses the internal, intent…What about the dialogue and Mary ultimate response to the awareness she was favor…Luke 1:37-38 For nothing is impossible with God." "I am the Lord's servant," Mary answered. "May it be to me as you have said." Then the angel left her. (NIV)…She knew inherently, her acceptance of this blessing, God shall provide, inspite of the tradition of the day, the cultural mores, the usual order of things, and the gossip that would ensue (because it did). She knew. How many of us have been directed by the angel, whether human or not, and we chose to not submit because of what others would think, goes against the rituals and traditions of the family, education, culture, or it puts us under scrutiny because of where we lived? We as Christians need to learn to tell the difference between ripples in reality for fleeting fantasy and the truth tiptoeing in our soul that is design for our destiny of success…

Yeah, my mind just goes there. I have always thought like this, and for the longest time believed everyone did too. However, life and time has taught me, not so much…Have a blessed holidays season and remember to listen to the Father, in whatever way He presents Himself to you, follow it and see blessings unfold - For nothing is impossible with God
