Inspired And Corrected

I've had many experiences when I knew exactly what God wanted me to do or say. Often amid the messiness of the day God would speak clearly in my mind and tell me where to go. Stop that I know many of you wanted to tell me where to go. I knew it was God because what I was told to do was godly or conforming with God's nature and yet not what I had planned or had in mind (foreign to my present thinking). When I did it I would find the reason and so often I would be humbled by God's wisdom. Even the method I use to preach came to me in such a conversation with God on the way to a church one Sunday to preach. I was still a lay person then. I know this inspiration will always continue if I am willing to listen and follow.
Correction is another matter. You see God corrected me through Marsha. She was God's voice when I was off track. Marsha would tell me what God thought about many things I was planning. Many times when I was stalled or stalling she sensed what God was saying to me about the situation and her voice directed me. Many other times when I had missed something or made an error God would show me through Marsha's voice. Many of God's ideas came from Marsha's voice and I didn't even tell her (no sense in getting her all puffed up). How does that happen now is the question? Will I go rushing off in some direction missing the turn God planned for me to take without God's correcting voice coming from my love. It took me a long time to trust someone so much that God could speak to me through her. I would listen for God to speak through her because he did it so often and it so helpful. How will God correct me now? I'm not looking for volunteers I think it has to be by God making the appointment. I am praying that he still finds a way to correct me though.
