Orientation means determining one’s location in his surroundings.
“Orientation is a function of the mind involving awareness of three dimensions: time, place and person. Problems with orientation lead to disorientation. Typically, disorientation is first in time, then in place and finally in person.”
Wikipedia definition
We use the word orientation to describe our values, interests and priorities.
It also speaks about our goals and schedules.
God wants us to know where we are at.
Biblical information without a personal experience of God’s grace misleads us.
We become legalistic.
It’s the kind of legalism that has a spiritual appearance but no
spiritual content. It’s not possible to know God outside of grace.
It’s so easy to get distracted in our thinking.
I believe that there is a whole invisible
army of demons that have been designated to distract us from grace.
Being carnally minded brings lifelessness into our lives.
Death in co-crucifixion with Christ brings forth an unspeakable joy. Rom.8:6
The use of religious words alone doesn’t guarantee spiritual orientation.
It’s possible to have right words and still be disoriented.
Grace always brings us to the right place.
We cannot have a spiritual ministry without grace orientation.
We need to humble ourselves.
We need to be in a place where we receive his grace daily.
Then we can minister grace to others.
