Jesus Take The Wheel

Dr Dharius Daniels·Kingdom Church

Sunday, May 26, 2024

Summary

In this message, Dr. Dharius Daniels teaches that God's protection in our lives is directly tied to our willingness to follow His direction. While many believers desire Jesus as Savior, true spiritual growth and security require surrendering the illusion of control and allowing Him to be our Shepherd. Looking at Acts chapter 8, Dr. Daniels outlines three primary ways the Holy Spirit actively leads us: through passages of Scripture, through people, and through divine promptings.

Pastor's Points

1.1. He leads through Passages of Scripture
2.2. He leads through People
3.3. He leads through Promptings

Key Points

1.If we want God to protect us, we must be willing to let Him direct us, as His protection is tied directly to His direction.
2.We often desire Jesus as Savior, but we desperately need Him as our Shepherd who leads and guides our daily lives.
3.Control is an illusion; human beings have influence over decisions, but only God possesses total sovereignty over outcomes.
4.God sometimes provides instructions without immediate explanations, requiring believers to step out in obedience until experience reveals His purpose.
5.The primary and foundational way the Holy Spirit leads is through passages of Scripture, which serve as a mandatory filter for our deceitful feelings.
6.Proper biblical interpretation requires reading written Scripture through the character, teachings, and lens of Jesus.
7.God frequently leads us through people, specifically through prophetic preaching that brings timeless biblical truth into a timely context.
8.God leads through promptings—divinely inspired inner nudges and impressions that align with Scripture and produce spiritual peace.

Sermon Moments

“If I want God to protect me, I must be willing to let Him direct me, because His protection is tied up in His direction.”

“The Shepherd's rod was used against enemies, but His staff had a hook for the sheep—to pull us back when we start to stray.”

“You have influence, but you do not have control. Give God what you think you have so He can give you what you really need.”

“Philip obeyed without an explanation, and as he kept walking, the experience became the explanation.”

“It is the Word of God that divides the soul from the spirit, filtering our mind, emotions, and feelings from divine truth.”

“Misinterpretation happens when people read written scripture without interpreting it through Jesus, who is the Logos.”

“A spiritual prompting is a divinely inspired, biblically based nudge that leads us into the will of God through His peace.”

This Week

Surrender the illusion of control over a current problem and ask God to direct your next steps.
Filter your strong emotions and desires through written Scripture before making important choices.
Establish a consistent habit of personal Bible study so you have a foundation of truth to discern God's voice.
Evaluate your view of holiness and Christian living by comparing it to the life and example of Jesus.
Listen intentionally to sermon teachings throughout the week to hear timely guidance God may be speaking through spiritual leadership.
Pay close attention to quiet inner nudges and divine promptings during your daily routines.
Use God's inner peace as a compass when deciding whether to move forward with or step away from a major decision.

Remember This

God's protection is tied to His direction, and He actively leads us through Scripture passages, godly people, and divine promptings.

A Challenge for You

Today my prayer for us is that God opens our spiritual ears, because the most consequential decisions in your life deserve Divine consultation.
