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!

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
