Blessed + Bossed Up

The Power of Neutrality


Listen Later

In this episode of Blessed + Bossed Up, the host continues the book club series with The Spirit-Filled Life by Charles Stanley, covering Chapters 13 and 14, which focus on the Holy Spirit’s role in guidance, decision-making, sensitivity, and neutrality before God.

The episode opens with an invitation to the Clarity Reset, a free two-week challenge inside The Society, designed to help participants realign their capacity, priorities, and spiritual focus by slowing down rather than adding more.

Episode Highlights:
  • Why many people struggle due to lack of clarity—not discipline or work ethic
  • How busyness and goal-driven living can dull spiritual sensitivity
  • The Holy Spirit as a guide, not a controller
  • Four key truths about the Holy Spirit:
  • He guides
  • He is trustworthy
  • He is God’s mouthpiece to believers
  • The Holy Spirit speaks
  • Real-life examples of Spirit-led guidance in parenting, career decisions, and resisting distractions
  • Why God cares about both major and seemingly small decisions
  • The importance of recognizing and trusting how the Holy Spirit communicates personally
Chapter 14 Focus: The Principle of Neutrality
  • Why God often remains silent when believers approach Him with fixed agendas
  • The danger of asking God to bless plans already made
  • How emotional attachment can distort discernment
  • Why worship helps cultivate neutrality and clarity
  • How misplaced faith in promises God never made leads to disappointment
  • The connection between neutrality, obedience, and peace

Key Takeaway:

Clarity comes from sensitivity, and sensitivity grows when believers approach God with a neutral heart—willing to release their own agendas and fully submit to His will.
