Re: Moving To NC
But iF YOU DID consult and pray with someone who has spiritual authority in your life, then when things get tough, that will be one less dart that satan can use to zap your strength.
I knew a man who knew for certain that it was time for him to leave his area. He prayed about it. God told him it was about to happen but the guy failed to make himself subjected to the spiritual leadership in his life-- which ultimately reflected his lack of trust in the God who had led him through his wilderness and seemingly to his promised land.
He told his Pastor he was leaving. The Pastor tilted his head to the side a little bit aND shook his head. He asked the man when was he leaving and the man said this is my last week. The Pastor look dumbfounded into the eyes of a man whom he had prayed for and cared for and told him, "Alright brother. We'll pray for you. Keep us posted."
Now I happen to truly believe God gave that man that job. I believe he disregarded God's Way of conduct for the Christian. God let the man go, but what should have been a tremendous blessing to him led him into many, many situations of stress, grief, and general unhappiness.
The crazy thing is that the Pastor would never have stood in the way of his upward mobility-- UNLESS HE HAD A CLEAR WORD FROM GOD and only then would he have advised the man against leaving.
I am not saying that you are being self-willed. I am just trying to warn you against it.
