THE GREATEST NEED

The greatest need in the life of every believer is to be able to hear and understand the voice of God from within the spirit man. Scripture teaches us that the Holy Spirit indwells every born-again Christian. God’s divine purpose is to accomplish His perfect will through every believer. God has a sovereign plan which begins at the moment of salvation. This plan is the continuing ministry of Jesus Christ in and through each believer. 

It is imperative that the people of God hear His voice so that His plan and purpose can be revealed. God’s Word states, “My people are destroyed for a lack of knowledge,” (Hosea 4:6). Therefore, it is vital that each of us, as believers in Jesus Christ, understand and obey His direction. I have learned over many years of ministry that many Christians are not able to comprehend the voice of God. John 10:27 confirms, “My sheep hear my voice and I know them, and they follow Me.” Amen!

Believers everywhere need to learn how to hear God’s voice. Let’s look at God’s word for wisdom and insight on how to hear His Voice and how to obey Him. Success according to God’s standard may not seem successful in the eyes of the world system—the secular society. 

God’s will is not something we find—the will of God finds us as we surrender, trust and obey His leading. The will of God, according to Romans 12:1-2, is good, perfect, and acceptable. It is really what we would choose for ourselves—if we had enough sense to choose it. God’s ways are best. We are free to choose as we wish, but we are not free to choose the consequences to our choices. 

Do you want to know God’s will clearly? The will of God is the mind of Jesus Christ acting within and through the believer at the level of his conscious understanding. In order to hear consistently from the Great Shepherd, we must live in constant pursuit of Jesus Christ. We must stay close to the Shepherd. When we study the Word, we grasp that God is light. As we each abandon ourselves to Him, we discover that in us, this light travels a pre-planned path as the daily will of God is worked out in and through our lives. It is the most exciting way to live—following Christ fully. 

Share the BLESSED HOPE today—tell the world about Jesus. People are desperate for Jesus, whether they know it or not. His love and mine–Deborah
