This is continuing on with our spiritual warfare series...
OVERCOMING DISORIENTATION
As an instrument flight instructor, the thing I had to teach a student pilot was that he must not trust his feelings when experiencing flying on instruments because of restricted visibility. If a pilot tries to fly by his feelings when in instrument conditions, he will quickly loose control of the plane. Even when flying perfectly straight and level through the clouds, it can begin to feel like the plane is turning. If the pilot reacts to this feeling, he will begin to turn in order to counteract this supposed drift-causing the plane to veer off course or possibly even turn upside down.
In a test contducted by the FAA, a group of pilots without previous instrument training were flown into instrument conditions. Every one of them lost control of their planes because they tried to rely on their feelings for guidance. The same is true of immature Christians who enter spiritual conditions of reduced visibility, or "spiritual clouds." They usually try to rely on their feelings for guidance, and therefore lose control.
The "instruments" we have been given to walk by are found in the Bible. We do no walk by feelings but by faith in the sure testimony of the Word of God. The Word of God will keep us oriented and on course if we put our trust in it, even when our feelings may be telling us to do otherwise. You can join Unsolved Mysteries and post your own mysteries or
