********************************
THOUGHTS:
=======================
God is trying to prepare a lot of us for the future for attack and traps of the enemy, but a lot of us dont try to slow down so we can hear HIS VOICE , when he speaks to us; we whether ignore what He's trying to say or we dont slow down enough to hear him so today the Holy Spirit wants me to talk to you all about slowing down and listening to him and not guessing if it's his voice we hear.
Listening to him when he speaks and how to discern his voice from ours is todays topics, now this is a topic a lot of people dont like to cover but the Holy Spirit has revealed to me something deep. I want to pour into you like he has poured into me.
First, we must understand that when we hear his voice, we will honestly know it. If you have to question it, it must not be from him, but we must understand is that God wants us to hear him in such a loud world; we must take the time to listen carefully because it is so easy to get into what we want thinking this is of God, but as we grow and understand God it becomes easier to recognize and understand his voice and will.
"John 8:47 Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God."
If we dont hear him, it might be because of sin or something we have ignored that he has warned us about, so before you start these steps or journey into hearing him, you must figure out whether you have been ignoring him or Are you committing sin over and over that could block you from truly hearing him? Take this moment now and ask him if this could be the case, the bible verse is saying to us that if we do not hear him its because we dont belong to God, do you belong to God, our Do you belong to the darkness?
Isaiah 30:21 Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it."
Are you going the right way? Many times, he could be telling us which direction to go, and we won't go because of fear or doubt, but when God tells us the way, you will know it right by what he is saying, it won't cause confusion, it won't harm us ,and it will always be the right thing and feel right ,you will know by how his words our always be scripture based , his voice is never contrary to the word . Also when you hear his voice it's a peace you will find deep down .God wants us to know the direction that he's pointing us in , it isn't going to leave us alone , it's going to bring us closer to him, we can know when the enemy speaks because its flesh-based and God will never have us do anything that's flesh based.
"John 10:14 I am the good shepherd. I know my own, and my own know me,"
God knows us; we can sit here and say that God doesn't know us and no one knows us, but the fact is because we are his creation, he knows us through and through, and when we study the word of God, we begin to know him and learn his ways and attributes, God has different attributes then anyone you will ever know, the enemy will look to pressure us ,but God won't ,the enemy will look to force his will upon us but God won't ,God will always allow us to do what we want and allow us to see that his will is what's best for us, but the enemy will never sanctify nor build you up , but God will and can quench every urge , remove any anxiety or worry we have.
***Today don't ignore the voice of God , we all don't like to be ignored , we don't like to say something and it feels like no one hears us and this is what we do every time we ignore God it doesn't make him want to speak to us ! It doesn't make him want to engage with us but what he will do is become more silent because we aren't listening , he will give us space so we can do whatever we desire.
When God speaks we need to give him our undivided attention, & do EXACTLY WHAT he ask of us . When we have determined this is God and not our selves we must then forget our will , and listen to him . Do you think Abraham wanted to kill his son ? No he didn't but he knew that God will work it out see no matter how bad it looks ! God will fix it but we must alway listen to the voice of God when he speaks . ©Seer~ Prophetess Lee
