When God Speaks

 There is a sense of calmness in our spirit

At first, when we hear from God, we may discern conflict and strife in what we are doing with our lives at the time. This may indicate He is correcting us from some destructive behavior of ours. However, this will pass as we listen, His voice then becomes more tranquil and our spirit becomes more at peace. The apostle Paul referred to this peace as “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7).

We all want to be free of worry, anxiety and frustration, I know I do, but our lives can become complicated too easy. We tend to try to fix our own problems, deal with our own heartaches and reject help from others. “I’ll just do it myself!” we’ll say. Next thing we know we don’t even consult the One who can help us the most; God!

In (Jeremiah 29:11) the Lord states what He is thinking toward us, and what He wants to do for us, “ for I know the thoughts I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and hope.” Then He says, “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with all your heart.” Reading this verse we can be encouraged to realize that as we call upon God (pray), we can expect to hear Him speak to us, maybe not in an audible voice, but in our spirit or in other ways.

A person doesn’t have to be a Moses or a Saul to hear God’s voice. He is the same today as He was and will always be. He speaks to all who will listen. He will speak to you if will only seek Him with all of your heart…then be quiet, patient, and listen!

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

The Rejected Are Now Accepted

Rejection: to rebuff; especially, to deny acceptance, care, love (to someone) [ a rejected child ] . That is how the New World Dictionary defines this troubling word. That Paul is the author of Romans is virtually undisputed. The book is generally dated to A.D. 57, probably during Paul’s third missionary journey. It is believed that Paul wrote this letter from Corinth (Archaeological Study Bible NIV.) In the following verses, Paul talks about rejection , although he is speaking of another kind of rejection. This is a quote from this same Bible. It is Paul, the apostle speaking about rejection: “I am talking to you Gentiles. Inasmuch as I am the apostle to the Gentiles, I make much of my ministry in the hope that I may somehow arouse my own people to envy and save some of them. For if their rejection is the reconciliation of the world, what will their acceptance be but life from the dead?” (Romans 11:13-15) To be rejected is painful; it is unfair, destructive, and condemning as well...
