a stranger, in dreams, in visions, in
circumstances, in signs and wonders, in
prayer time, during worship and praise, on
your way to work, while you are getting
dressed and anywhere He chooses.
Sometimes it is in a small still voice while
other times it may be a normal voice in your
ear. How will you know if it is God who is
talking to you? There are two things to
always keep in mind to know if it is from
God. One is that whatever you hear will
NEVER contradict God's Word. If it does it
is not from God. Additionally God will give
you confirmation. God's will for your life is
found in His Word if you will take the time
to find it. Don't depend on others to tell you
His will for you.
As humans our problem is that we must
always know how things will be done. We
then give our permission or opinion about
how it is done. So every time we figure out
how something is accomplished we don't
need our faith or trust in God to do it for us.
The sin nature is to exclude God from our
lives and our decisions. When we do pray we
treat God the same way. We tell God how we
expect Him to answer our prayers because
we have figured it out. Not only how but
when, with whom and where we expect our
prayers answered. That doesn't show God
your faith or trust but your lack of it!
"So what am I supposed to do until God
speaks to me or pours out His Spirit? 1
Thessalonians 5:16-18 16 "Rejoice always,
17 pray continually, 18 give thanks in all
circumstances; for this is God's will for you
in Christ Jesus." If you earnestly seek God's
kingdom and His righteousness by doing
these three things daily you WILL hear from
God! You will witness His mighty power
manifested in your life. You will be His
witness and He will be your testimony. We
ar e here on earth for God's pleasure and His
glory. He is not here as our genie. God does
not need us but we desperately need Him!
When we neglect God we only neglect
ourselves!
Living a daily life as Jesus would or to be a
Christ-like Christian means that when any
opportunity presents itself we are to respond as
Jesus would. To pray, to bless, to help, to
encourage, to share the gospel, to lend a hand,
to share our testimony and most of all to love
them! It isn't up to us to judge them first to see
if they are worthy of our help and time. Or to
decide for God if this person really needs help
or prayer. We are God's hands, feet and mouth
here on earth. We are His vessel, His servant,
His tool/instrument to bring God glory. Our job
is to do the work of the Kingdom and let God
do the work of healing, rescuing, delivering and
saving. It isn't up to us but up to God. We are
here to give God every opportunity to make it
happen to those around us! That is what the
mighty out pouring of God's Spirit is like today
in you, to you, with you, for you and most of all
through you. Then people will see Jesus in you
everywhere you go!! So don't cop out but jump
in. That is my goal!
