   How to Know God’s Will: Is It God or Just Your Feelings?

   How can you know God’s will for your life and tell whether you are led by the Holy Spirit or following your feelings? Learn biblical spiritual discernment and Christian decision making. In this episode of A Church in Flux: The Podcast, Paul Purifoy asks a question every believer faces: Is this truly God leading me, or is it simply what I want, fear, or feel? Feelings are real, but they are not always reliable. An open door is not automatically God’s approval, and a strong impression is not the same as the voice of the Holy Spirit. Paul explains how Scripture gives believers a firm foundation for discerning God’s will without chasing signs, impulses, or emotional certainty. You’ll learn: • Why the human heart cannot be your final authority • How to test a decision against the Word of God • What the fruit of the Spirit reveals about inner guidance • Why godly counsel and circumstances matter • How surrender to Jesus brings clarity and peace The biblical pattern is clear: begin with Scripture, listen for the Spirit’s inner witness, seek wise counsel, and consider circumstances without allowing circumstances to overrule God’s Word. True discernment is not about getting God to approve your plans. It is about yielding your plans to Jesus Christ. Key Scriptures: Jeremiah 17:9; Galatians 5:16–23; Proverbs 11:14; Philippians 4:7; Romans 8:14 VIDEO CHAPTERS 0:00 Is It God or Just Your Feelings? 2:05 When Feelings Become a Divine Compass 5:20 Jeremiah 17:9 and the Deceitful Heart 7:05 Feelings, Impulses, and the Flesh 10:00 The Danger of Chasing Signs 12:00 Scripture Is the First and Final Filter 14:15 The Spirit’s Inner Witness and Peace 15:45 Wise Counsel and Circumstances 17:25 What Is Governing Your Inner Life? 19:40 Surrendering Your Decisions to Jesus 20:40 The One Decision Challenge As you listen, think about one decision you are facing right now.

   Why It Is Harder Than You Think

   Why is renewing your mind harder than simply trying harder? In Season 2, Episode 25 of A Church in Flux: The Podcast, Paul Purifoy unpacks Romans 12:2 and explains how Jesus Christ transforms spiritual apathy, anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, and destructive thought patterns from the inside out. Most believers do not consciously decide to drift away from God. Spiritual drift is usually quiet. Prayer begins to feel like a chore, Scripture feels like work, and familiar fears, temptations, and resentments grow louder. Trying harder may temporarily change your behavior, but Jesus did not come merely to adjust your behavior. He came to renew your mind, transform your heart, and make you new. In this biblical teaching, you will discover: • How spiritual apathy creates room for fear and temptation • Why the mind is the battlefield of lasting Christian transformation • How to identify the hidden lies behind recurring patterns • How to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ • How to replace deception with the truth of God’s Word • How the Holy Spirit brings your mind and heart into alignment • A practical seven-day challenge for renewing your mind THE SEVEN-DAY CHALLENGE Ask God to reveal one recurring lie you believe. Find one Scripture that speaks directly against that lie. Meditate on and pray that verse every day for seven days. If you are accepting the challenge, comment: “I’m taking the challenge.” KEY SCRIPTURES Romans 12:2 Hebrews 2:1 2 Corinthians 10:5 Ephesians 2:8–9 Romans 8:1 Isaiah 41:10 2 Corinthians 12:9 Galatians 1:10 If Jesus has made you new, what still needs to be renewed in the way you live?
