Contend With I
2 Cor.10:5 [ERV] “and we tear down every proud idea that raises itself against the knowledge of God. We also capture every thought and make it give up and obey Christ”
We have established that there are voices in the atmosphere around us and all that we need is the right gadget to tune-in to those voices. Note that the fact that your gadget can receive does not mean you will be tuned-in automatically. You will still need Read the rest of this entry
Expressions I
Job 33:14-17 [LB] “God speaks again and again, in dreams, in visions of the night… as they lie on their beds. He opens their ears in times like that, …gives them wisdom and instruction, causing them to change their minds, …keeping them from pride… and from falling into some trap.”
God speaks to us through expressions of the Holy Spirit. The second expression of the Holy Spirit that we will be looking at is Visions. A vision is a picture, still picture or motion picture that God shows you while you are awake. I am not talking about trance. With a vision, you are standing. A lot of the Words of knowledge that God gives us in God’s Favourite House is a combination of visions. So while I am Read the rest of this entry
His Channels VI
Gen.20:3 “But that night God came to Abimelech in a dream and told him, “You are a dead man, for that woman you have taken is already married!”
Channel #7: God speaks through Expressions of the Holy Spirit. God speaks to us through expressions of the Holy Spirit. And this is the one channel. However, when it comes to hearing from the Holy Spirit, there are two extremes. On one extreme are the people that say God does not speak. So even when they are in a place where God is speaking through ministry gifts or other channels, they are unable to Read the rest of this entry
Caution!
Ps.139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life”
God speaks through Silence. Sometimes, God’s silence means He is waiting for you to choose but at other times, it could mean that God is upset. Sometimes, when God is upset He keeps quiet. If God is upset with you, I pray that you will make peace with Him today, in Jesus Name. But I pray that God will not be upset and keep quiet at you, in Jesus Name. Read the rest of this entry
Speak Truth!
Prov.27:6 “Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy.”
God wants to speak through you. God wants you to be His mouthpiece that would tell people the truth and help to save a life, save a destiny, save a family, save a generation. The problem with us in the twenty first century is that we excuse ourselves by saying, “it is really not my business” or “let everybody mind their own business”. I am here to tell you that it is your business. It is your Read the rest of this entry
Positioning
Luke 8:15 [GN] “The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit.” [with emphasis]
For us to tune-in to God, we must cultivate open minds, create time to listen, and eliminate distraction.
#4. The fourth thing we must do to tune-in to God’s voice is, co-operate with what God says. Please get this because it is so powerful. God will always speak to people who Read the rest of this entry
Block II
1 John 4:18 Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear. If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love.
Actions speak louder than words, they say. So have your actions been voicing your need for God or have they been stating otherwise? The story is told of a little boy who was deeply upset at the fact that at mealtime, his mother would always stop them from eating just to pray. One day after his mother got back from the market, he said, “Mum, let’s Read the rest of this entry
Proof, Protect & Produce
John 10:27 “My sheep recognize My voice and follow Me” [with emphasis].
Today, we are continuing in our concluding thoughts from yesterday’s devotional. God’s Word highlights many reasons why you need to hear God personally. Jesus says in John 10:27, “My sheep recognize My voice and follow Me” [emphasis added]. So hearing God is proof that you belong to God’s family. The second of the three reasons we are looking Read the rest of this entry
Proof
John 10:3-4 “…the sheep recognize his voice and come to him. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. After he has gathered his own flock, he walks ahead of them, and they follow him because they know his voice”
It is so important for you to hear God for yourself. If you cannot hear God for yourself, people will attempt to lead you in their own direction. My advice is, go into your closet and pray. Ask your Father in heaven and He will speak to you about His heart for you. God is not an author of confusion. Read the rest of this entry
Un-Boxed!
“The hard path where some seed fell represents the hard hearts of those who hear the words of God, but then the devil comes and steals the words away and prevents people from believing and being saved” Lu.8:12 [LB, emphasis added].
The hardened path equals a closed mind. So what causes people to be so closed to spiritual growth? There are three things.
#1. Fear. What if God tells me to do what I do not want to do? What if God says go to the village and become a missionary. And because you do not know God, you put Him in a box, and you limit Him in your life. I have been there Read the rest of this entry
