True or False Intentions?

For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God." (1 Corinthians 2:10)

Years ago I was invited to be the Mistress of Ceremony on a women's program for a sister church. The lady that invited me was known for (clearing my throat) being shady but nice with it and did not consider many people on "her level" economically or spiritually, but I accepted the invitation anyway.

When I informed my leadership of the invitation, I was warned that the "invitation" wasn't genuine and to be careful. I pondered over it, and told the Lord about my concerns. Being relatively "new and naïve" to the inner circle of who's who in the ministry - I didn't have anything against anyone, neither this individual.

When I prayed about it - the Lord answered me audibly and said:

"I will look into it" . That meant He was going to search out the intentions of the heart of the matter, He was going to take a close examination of "why" she invited me, He would know the real intent behind the invite- if it was meant to hurt me or no.

After I heard the audible voice of the Lord, I felt very comfortable about participating in the program- I wasn't fearful, and no longer naïve to the situation. In the end the service went relatively well and that was that.

👉My point in sharing is in reference to this scripture "But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God" I Cor 2:10

If there is something or someone that you're not sure about - ask the Lord to look into for you, He alone can search out the heart of the matter and let you know if it is safe to proceed or not.

Prayer point🙏In matters that are not so clear search it out Lord and lead us according to Your plan and purpose - search it out Lord.
