DO YOU WANT TO HEAR GOD?

Needing divine direction? We all do! Every person is dealing with something that they need help, advice, or wisdom. 

Be serious about your personal commitment to God and leave everything else alone. Literally put God first in your life. Acknowledge the Lord in all your ways, lean not to your own own understanding and He will direct your path. Keep your spirit in agreement with His Spirit by living in agreement with His Word. When you do, Jesus will gradually lift you up to a place of perfect submission to His Father’s will–where you ignore the enemy and pay no attention to anything else. 

If God says it, that settles it. We must choose to cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh. It is a daily choice.

Ask yourself these questions: Am I allowing the mind of Christ to be formed in me (See Philippians 2:5)? Choose to maintain and inner vigilance to submit to God above all else. 

Is God having His way in my life–and are other people beginning to see God in my life more and more? 

You keep yourself cleansed in your daily walk by spending time in God’s Word. Read the Bible — it is basic instructions before leaving earth. Our natural life is transformed into spiritual life by obedience to the Holy Spirit and God’s Word. Spending time in God’s Word and thinking on eternal things will position you to hear God. Live a life of faith, fully knowing you are being led by God. You will find and experience the greatest love relationship you have ever had when you love and know the One who is leading.

It is a life of faith–not of reason and understanding. A life of faith is a daily experience of hearing God, knowing He is leading you, and the day-in and day-out life of walking without fainting or giving up; fully surrendered and dependent upon Him. (See Isaiah 40:31).

IN HIS SERVICE,

His love and mine,
