Prophetic Analysis of Opportunity

Reason and Faith can be opposites in dealing with issues of consequence. Sometimes life hands me opportunities and I have to go beyond simple reason and ask myself some questions of the Spirit. If you read and heed these questions you will avoid the pitfalls in making bad regrettable decisions. I would also invite any other guidelines that you might have:

• Does this enhance your gift to the body of Christ or diminish it. In my case, does this amplify or mute the voice of the Prophet to my Generation.
• What master does this opportunity cause me to serve?
• Do I have peace in doing this? Or, is there a major check in my spirit? Now, to be fair, all change comes equipped with a check in the spirit. It's that Check of the Check I look for. The one that let's me know that to do this thing is rebellion.
• What motivation is behind considering this option? Any? Can I identify them?
• Does this opportunity have the probability of taking me off the track God has me on?
• Is there in the Word of God admonition that relates to this opportunity? If so, can I perceive it rightly?

Sometimes not every good idea is....
