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

“Our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17). 

God promises to work for good for His trusting ones. He promises to work all things out for our good and His glory. You may be struggling with a cancer diagnosis to a relationship struggle, to  living at a high-stress level due to kids in college, health issues, and having balance in life with all the responsibilities of family and business….but GOD is faithful! 

Instead of focusing on problems—fix your eyes on the problem solver—JESUS. Know that God really loves you—He loves me—and He is constantly at work for our good and His glory. By faith we cling to God’s promise of Romans 8:28. Take time to refocus and recall that “our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all” (2 Corinthians 4:17).

Remember all God has done and rise up by faith! 

God loves us with an everlasting love and He is preparing us for the day when skies will be blue forever. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1) and until He calls us home by death or rapture, we run with the Good News….telling the world about Jesus! 

Share the Blessed Hope you have with someone today!

You are greatly loved!

His love and mine,

 The Bible is unfolding before our very eyes! Time is running out as we know it and one day soon, Jesus will appear in the clouds to call His church home. Until then, we are called to follow the examples of Jesus. Jesus gave us what is called the Great Commission (Matthew 28:19-20): “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end   of the age.” Jesus gave this command to the apostles not long before he ascended to heaven. It is still our calling to follow in His absence and do the same —tell the world about Jesus. 

Once we share the Good News about Jesus Christ, we are called to “make disciples.” The instructions to “go,” “baptize,” and “teach” are indirect commands and the “how” to make disciples. “Make disciples” is the primary command of the Great Commission. The “going”, “baptizing,” and “teaching” are the means by which we fulfill Jesus’ great command.Love God with all your heart and mind and soul, and love people enough to tell them about Jesus!   

HIS LOVE AND MINE,   Deborah
