2-11-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART
6
How often will God speak to us? There is no set number
of times. The Lord may not speak to you every day, or
He may speak to you several times in a day. He may
speak to you during your quiet time, but He may not. I
always pray and ask the Lord to speak to me through
His word when I sit down to read and study my Bible,
but He doesn't always do so. However, there are
specific things that will hinder the Lord from speaking
to you. I will be discussing those later in these lessons.
One thing is for sure. The less time you spend talking to
the Lord and reading and studying His word, the less He
will speak to you. He will not always speak to you just
because you ask Him to, or desire an answer about
something.
The Lord wants us to serve Him as an act of our free
will, not just for rewards. If we think that God should
respond to us every time we speak to Him, or if we
expect to "feel" His presence on a regular basis, we are
doomed to disappointment. Hearing from the Lord and
experiencing His presence is a privilege. We cannot
control when these things happen. There will be times
of testing when the Lord will not speak to us or allow us
to experience His presence for an extended period of
time. This is because He wants to make us stronger. He
wants us to set our mind and heart to serve Him no
matter what, and to walk faithfully with Him in spite of
His silence. If you are currently in this situation, do not
get discouraged. Simply keep seeking the Lord diligently,
and eventually you will come through the test and
receive communication from Him once again.
You should get a bound book so the pages cannot come
out, and keep a written record in it of all the things the
Lord speaks to you and shows you. It is very
encouraging to go back and review what you have
written and you won't lose them by forgetting them.
HOW DO WE SPEAK TO GOD EFFECTIVELY?
Since we cannot perceive the spiritual realm with any of
our physical senses, how do we communicate with this
spiritual realm? How do we make God and spirits within
the spiritual realm hear us? THROUGH THE AUDIBLE
SPOKEN WORD, OR, IF YOU ARE MUTE, THROUGH
SIGNING. Romans 10 says:
" . . . if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and
believe in your heart that God has raised him from the
dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes
unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
Why is it necessary to "confess with the mouth?" This
scripture clearly shows that it is necessary to speak
your confession audibly, so that others can hear it. The
New Testament was originally written in Greek. The
meaning of the Greek word translated as "confess" in
verse 9 means that a person is "entering into a legally
binding spoken contract." This principle shows us that
in order to clearly communicate with the spiritual
realm, we must speak out loud. However, the Holy Spirit
dwells within us, and God knows every thought that we
think. The Lord hears us very clearly when we pray
silently in our mind. Demons and angels cannot read
our minds, so if we want them to hear us we must
speak out loud. It is often helpful to pray out loud
because it helps you to concentrate and helps to keep
your mind from wondering.
Jesus instructed us to make our requests known to God
in His name. (John 14:12-14) Usually we pray directly to
God the Father in the name of Jesus. THE KEY IS THAT
ALL OUR PRAYERS MUST END IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
Some churches teach that we are to pray to various
"saints," asking them to intercede for us with Jesus. This
is NOT according to God's word. God says:
"For there is ONE God and ONE Mediator between God
and men, the Man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself a
ransom for all."
1 Timothy 2:5-6
Jesus is our mediator, that is why we pray through His
name, NOT to some man made "saint."
What is the difference between praying and just talking
to the Lord? Very little. A prayer is usually a specific
request and therefore must always end in the name of
Jesus. When we talk to the Lord, which we should be
doing throughout the day, we do so the same as we talk
with anyone else except of course, very respectfully.
Make it a habit, instead of thinking only to yourself, to
talk to the Lord about everything as you go about your
day. You won't hear back from Him all the time, but He
desires to hear from you, and we are instructed to keep
our mind "fixed" on God and spiritual things. Directing
conversation to the Lord throughout the day helps us to
do this.
One of the most effective ways of communicating with
the Lord is to speak His word back to Him as well as to
yourself. Learn to pray the scriptures. I have one book I
use as my quiet time journal in which I write all the
things the Lord teaches me, and another book as my
prayer journal in which I keep written those scriptures
the Lord has shown me I can use to pray back to Him.
Every time you are impressed with a particular verse or
section of scripture to use in prayer write it down! That
way you won't forget it. Go through your prayer
journal often to remind yourself of your "prayer
verses." To give you an example, one of the sections I
frequently use is as follows:
"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer
and supplication, with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known to God and the peace of God which
surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and
minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7
"Hear my voice, O God, in my meditation;
Preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity,
Who sharpen their tongue like a sword,
And bend their bows to shoot their arrows -- bitter
words,
That they may shoot in secret at the blameless. . .
But God shall shoot at them with an arrow;
Suddenly they shall be wounded.
So He will make them stumble over their own tongue;
All who see them shall flee away." Psalm 64:1-8
To be honest, most of my "prayer scriptures" come
from the Psalms. When I am worried and troubled
about something, when I cannot sleep because my mind
is reviewing my problem over and over again, I first
rebuke the demons putting the worry thoughts into my
mind, then I speak my prayer verses to myself and to
the Lord, asking Him to guard my heart and mind with
His peace. I find this to be very effective. Both in
quieting my mind and heart, and in bringing answers to
my prayers.
Many of you have been reading this series of lessons.
Now I am asking something of you. Would you please
send me your favorite "prayer scripture." I think it
would be wonderful to read them, and helpful for all of
us to share these scriptures.
God speaks to us in many different ways. I will talk
about a number of these in the next part. Rebecca |

What should you do if you think you "heard' from God
about something but are not sure? The first thing you
should do is search the scripture to make sure the thing
you heard is not in any way contrary to God's Word.
Secondly, pray silently and ask the Lord to bring you
confirmation of some sort. The reason why you pray
silently is because you do not want Satan's kingdom to
know of your request and therefore try to bring you
false confirmation. Satan and the demons cannot read
our minds, and so not know what we are saying when
we pray silently.
One of the ways God frequently brings confirmation to
me in such situations is through my husband. This is
one of the wonderful things about being in a godly
relationship with a spouse who is just as dedicated to
serving the Lord as you are. Many times when I ask the
Lord for confirmation, a couple of days later, suddenly
Daniel will say, "You know, I think God has told me so
and so." And it will be the exact same thing I was
questioning. The Lord uses me in the same way in
Daniel's life. If Daniel is questioning something, often
God will speak to me about the same thing. As we share
together about the things God has been speaking to us
about, we find out that He is saying the same things to
both of us independently. If you are not married, ask
the Lord to allow you to develop a prayer partner or
Bible study partner, someone with whom you fellowship
on a regular basis. Often the Lord will bring
confirmation to you through such a person. This is one
of the reasons why it is so importantto fellowship with
other Christians. Confirmation may also come through a
verse from the Bible that just jumps out to you or
though a sermon by your pastor, or through something
someone else says. If confirmation does not come, do
NOT act on the thoughts you are questioning.
Sometimes God may not bring us confirmation about
something for a long time, even years. Learn to take
such questions before the Lord and then leave them
with Him. He will respond to you in His own time and
way.
Do we need to blank out our minds in order to receive
thoughts from God? Absolutely not! We are NEVER to
blank out our minds. Rather we are to be in control of
our thoughts at all times. The Holy Spirit is powerful
enough to override ytour active busy mind whenever
He wants to. In fact, that's often when the Lord will
speak to you the most clearly, when He interrupts your
flow of thoughts as you concentrate on your work or
whatever activity you are engaged in. However, it is
vitally important for us to set aside time each day to
spend in reading the bible and in prayer. If we don't
spend time with the Lord in this way on a daily basis,
He will speak to us less and less. God will not always
speak to us during our time of Bible study and prayer.
Christians usually refer to th is timje of study and prayer
as a "quiet time." Often, if we have asked Him a
question during our quiet time, He will suddenly give us
the answer later in the day when we least expect it. I
remember the time when I had gone for several days
without hearing form the Lord during my quiet times. At
that time in my life I was spending the sunrises with the
Lord each day outside sitting on a rock with my Bible. I
was becoming a bit discouraged because I had not
heard from the Lord during my quiet times for so many
days. Then, one day, as I walked back to the house after
my quiet time, suddenly the Lord spoke to me very
clearly. He said, "Child, I so enjoyed that time with you!
I look forward to spending the sunrises with you."
"But Lord," I replied, "You haven't been speaking to me
at all. It didn't seem to me like you were with me at all.
I certainly haven't felt Your persence either."
"Oh no," was His quick response. "Every time you sit
down for your quiet time I am there with you. Just
because I don't say anything doesn't mean that I am
not there. I don't always have something to say. I simply
enjoy being with you. Remember, I have ordained that
you must live by faith. You will not often actually feel
My presence." The Lord's response startled me. It never
occurred to me that He would enjoy simply being with
me in silence! I guess that somehow I always thought
we must be talking in order to fellowship. That is not so.
Even if you don't hear form the Lord, every time you
turn your mind onto Him and His word and meditate on
the things of God, the Lord simply enjoys being with
you. Amazing isn't it?
How often will the Lord speak to you? Find out in the
next part. Rebecca. |
2-1-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART

My first few years of learning to "hear" God's voice
were a great struggle. I knew that God communicates
with us by flashing thoughts into our minds, but I did
not know how to learn to recognize those thoughts
quickly. I read many Christian books, and each one left
me frustrated. The writers wrote glowingly about
hearing from God and receiving His guidance, but never
once did they tell me HOW I could learn this skill.
Eventually, in His great mercy, the Lord answered my
prayers and gave me a direct revelation of how I could
more easily learn to recognize when He was speaking to
me. I want to share that with you. God's word tells us:
"Because the carnal [natural] mind is enmity against
God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed
can be." Romans 8:7
Our natural mind is controlled by our sin nature -- that
part of us that wants to do only evil all the time.
Therefore, our mind will not choose to think about
God's word unless we make the conscious decision to
do so. Therefore, the first step is to memorize scripture.
Memorize scripture verses that uplift and glorify Jesus.
Then pray and ask God to put those scripture verses
into your conscious thought as you are busy working
and thinking about something else entirely. When the
Lord does this, suddenly, you will realize that a
particular scripture verse is flowing through your mind.
That will be from the Holy Spirit. Demon spirits will not
want to put scripture verses into your mind, especially
those that uplift and glorify Jesus. Your own natural
mind won't think about them unless you stop and make
the conscious decision to do so. Therefore, when you
suddenly realize that scripture is flowing through your
mind you will know that it is the Holy Spirit putting it
there. As this happens over and over again, pretty soon
you will begin to recognize the difference between
those thoughts from the Holy Spirit and your own
thoughts or thoughts from demons. The more verses
you memorize, the more communication you will
receive from the Holy Spirit. However, faith is always
involved. You must have faith that God just spoke to
you. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you recognize thoughts
from God and He will do so.
Believe it or not, there is actually an easy and painless
way to memorize scripture. This method is not original
with me. It was taught to me years ago in a Bible study
class. All you need is a Bible, a pen and some 3X5 index
cards. Think about your daily life. Most all of us have
some time during our day when we must engage in an
activity that does not require us to think. For women,
maybe it is when you are doing your hair and make-up
in the morning. For men, maybe it is when you are
shaving in the morning. Maybe it is during your
commute to work. Find such a time in your daily life,
and then dedicate that time to scripture memory.
Choose a verse and write it on an index card. Write the
reference first and last, like this:
John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not
perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16
Look at your card, and say the reference, then the
verse, then the reference, out loud over and over again
until you can say it through three times word perfect
without looking at the card. This won't take more than
a few minutes. Do this every day for one week. By the
end of the week you will have the verse completely
memorized and be able to say it through three times in
just a few seconds. At the beginning of week number
two write up another verse on an index card. Be sure to
always put the reference before and after the verse. If
you are ambitions, you can do a section of scripture
with more than one verse at a time. First say the verse
you have already memorized three times out loud, and
then work on the second verse until you can say it
through three times perfectly out loud without looking
at the card. Do this every day for the second week. By
the end of the week you will be able to say both verses
through in just one minute or less. Week three, add
another card and another verse. Each day, first say the
verses you have already memorized, and then work on
the new one. If you will say a verse through three times
every day faithfully for three months, it will be sealed
into your mind forever. Then you can start dropping off
the first cards and no longer use them. However, it is
good to go back and review now and then. Remember,
your natural flesh is NOT going to want to memorize
scripture. It will take a real act of discipline to force
yourself to work on this every day, but it won't take
more than a few minutes of your time.
Here are a few keys. Never memorize different verses
from the same book two or three weeks in a row.
Memorize from one book the first week, from a
different book the second week, and from yet a
different book the third week. Then if you want to go
back to the book of the first week after that you can.
The reason for this is that if you try to memorize from
the same book for several weeks in a row, you will tend
to get the references mixed up. Secondly, memorize
from only one version of the Bible. You will get very
mixed up if you try to memorize from several different
versions. Choose a version of the Bible that you can
read and understand and stick with it. I personally
recommend the Spirit Filled Life Bible in the New King
James version. That's the one I use. I find it easy to read
and understand, accurate, and with very good study
notes. Above all I like it because it does not contain a
denominational bias as so many other study Bibles do.
When God puts a thought into your mind, you have to
accept in faith that it is from Him. Remember, God
assures us that:
"But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he
who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He
is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him."
Hebrews 11:6
If you will be diligent about memorizing God's word
and asking Him to speak to and make His voice known
to you, He WILL do so. Will you ever make a mistake in
thinking you are hearing from God? Most certainly! This
is because we are all fallible human beings. Mistakes will
be made, but don't get upset, simply trust that God will
"work all things together for good." (Romans 8:28) God
is able to take your worst mistakes and turn them to
good. I remember one time when I spoke with a
brother who read about learning to hear God speak to
him personally. He had never been taught this is his
particular church, but he wanted to hear form God and
asked God to speak to him. The Lord did so, and for a
while everything was wonderful. But then, this brother
thought he heard God say something to him which
turned out to be wrong. This resulted in so much
disappointment and embarrassment for the brother
that he declared to me, "I never want to hear form God
again! I would much rather never hear form Him at all,
than to make a mistake." How sad! Learning to "hear"
from God is a skill that is developed over time just the
same as any other skill. We will make mistakes along the
way. But there are a couple of safeguards for us to use.
First, God will NEVER tell you anything that goes against
His word. This is why it is so important to study your
Bible every day. Second, frequently ask the Holy Spirit
to make you sensitive to the little "check" or hesitation
He will put into you every time the demons put
thoughts into your mind, or even if the thought is from
you. He is always faithful to do this as He is our helper.
God will never rush you into doing something that you
have questions about. When demons put thoughts into
your mind to try to make you think they came from
God, they will try to rush you into taking action rashly.
You will feel pressured to take action, and feel guilty if
you do not. This will NOT be from God! Remember, God
strongly desires to teach you to "hear" His voice clearly.
When the Lord is putting previously memorized
scriptures into your mind, usually He will then begin to
speak to you through asking you to obey Him in
something. For me, the Lord used the problem of the
seat belt in my car. At that time I hated wearing a seat
belt! I had trained my mind to NEVER think about
putting my seat belt on when I got into the car. When
the Lord started dealing with me on this topic, every
time I got into my car the Lord would put a thought
into my mind telling me to fasten my seat belt. If I
obeyed Him immediately, He would speak to me again
about something pretty quickly. If I did not obey Him,
then He would not speak to me again for several days.
God will do this in your life. As you progress in your
relationship with Him, the first thing He will do is to
bring to your attention things in your life that are not
pleasing to Him. Be alert to this.
Next, I will tell you some things you can do to help you
be sure you are actually hearing from God. Rebecca. |
1-29-16 LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART
3
I left you with a question in the last lesson. It was: if
then God is spirit, and we can no longer hear or see the
spiritual realm, just how are we supposed to "hear"
God's voice?
The answer is: God communicates with our spirit via the
Holy Spirit, and then that communication is flashed into
our soul, that is, our mind, by the Holy Spirit. It is given
to us as a thought or vision or dream.
In essence, the Holy Spirit provides the link between
our soul and spirit when God wants. That is a key,
WHEN GOD WANTS! People involved in witchcraft or the
occult of any kind, all develop the ability to
communicate freely with the spirit realm. They learn to
communicate with demon spirits. In their case a demon
spirit provides the link, or joining, of their spirit to their
soul. In their case, they can see into and communicate
with the spiritual realm whenever they want to.
(Because the link between occultists' souls and spirits is
provided by a demon spirit, everything they see and
hear and experience in the spiritual realm goes through
a demonic filter. That is why occultists never see God's
angels. If they did, they wouldn't stay in the occult very
long.) ALL COMMUNICATION TO US FROM THE SPIRIT
REALM COMES TO US IN OUR MINDS, THAT IS, OUR
SOULS. Actually the same is true for the physical realm
as well. We see with our mind, not our physical eye
ball. The image that we see is carried from our physical
eye ball to our brain via the optic nerve. We feel in our
mind, or brain, not in our finger tips, etc. Our mind or
soul is the center where all communication is received.
When Christians receive input from the spiritual realm
such as hearing God or seeing a vision or dream, this
comes to him through the Holy Spirit. In these instances
the Holy Spirit provides the link between our soul and
spirit.
So the central task in learning to "hear" God's voice is
to learn to recognize which thoughts are from Him. This
poses a big problem because there are three sources of
the thoughts that are continually in our minds. One, we
have our own thoughts, two, God puts thoughts into
our minds, and three, demons also are able to put
thoughts and emotions directly into our minds from
outside of us. We are told this in 2 Corinthians:
"For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
[physical] but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds, casting down arguments and every thing
[thought] that exalts itself against the knowledge of
God, bringing every thought into captivity to the
obedience of Christ. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
This scripture shows us clearly that the battlefield
between the spiritual realm and the physical realm is in
our heads! It is in our minds. The battle takes place in
our thoughts and emotions, that is, in our minds.
Demon spirits have the ability, from outside of you, to
directly inject thoughts and emotions into your mind
just the same as I as a physician can take a needle and
syringe and inject a shot of medicine into your arm.
Therefore, there are three sources of the thoughts that
continually flow through our mind. This scripture
commands us to become aware of the thoughts that we
are thinking. We are to recognize those thoughts that
are not godly or righteous or are from demons. Then
we are to cast those thoughts out of our minds and
refuse to continue thinking them. We are to bring
"every thought into captivity to the obedience of
Christ."
God communicates with us in several different ways, but
the most frequent way is through putting thoughts into
our minds. THE ESSENCE OF LEARNING TO "HEAR"
GOD'S VOICE IS TO BE ABLE TO QUICKLY RECOGNIZE
WHEN A THOUGHT IS FROM GOD VERSUS FROM US OR
A DEMON SPIRIT. This is something that we will struggle
with our whole life. We will never "hear" God perfectly
all the time. We will not know for sure whether a
particular thought is from God, or our own thoughts.
Sometimes we will wonder if a particular thought was
from a demon, or from God. Why is this? The Apostle
Paul wrote, "For now we see through a glass darkly, but
then face to face. Now I know in part but then I shall
know just as I also am known." (1 Corinthians 13:12) As
long as we are in this sinful flesh and blood physical
body, we will always have a struggle with our
communication with God. Our sin is always a
hindrance. In that wonderful day when we are finally
dwelling in heaven in our glorified bodies and sin has
no part in us, then we will freely see and hear from God
and know God just as He knows us today. Sometimes
the Lord will speak to us so clearly that we will have no
doubts at all. But many times we will struggle. It will
always be so.
So here is the next question: What is the quickest and
easiest way to learn to recognize thoughts from God? I
will tell you in the next lesson. Rebecca. |
2-22-16 Good morning everyone. Once again God has
demonstrated His absolute faithfulness in bringing up
the sun at just the right time.
I want to start a series of lessons on some of the things
God has shown me about Himself. This has been the
greatest desire of my life, to get to know God personally
and to experience Him directly. These experiences are
my treasures in heaven. I pray that some of my
experiences will stimulate you to seek the Lord yourself.
GLIMPSES OF GOD -- PART 1
Copyright 2010
From the very beginning, God created me with a great
love for His creation, especially His animal kingdom. He
has chosen to show me some wonderful things about
Himself through His creation. After all, the Apostle Paul
wrote:
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against
all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who
suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what
may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has
shown it to them. For since the creation of the world
His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being
understood by the things that are made, even His
eternal power and God head, so that they are without
excuse . . . " Romans 18:20
The creation itself is a witness to us of the reality and
character of God. That's why the whole theory of
evolution that is so strongly taught to our children in
school is such blasphemy. The theory of evolution seeks
to disprove the existence of God, AND it tries to use the
creation itself to show that there is no Creator! If you
are allowing your children to be taught the theory of
evolution as a scientific truth, do not wonder why they
rebel and walk away from God when they get older.
They have been thoroughly taught that God does not
exist!
I firmly believe that anyone who does not have a real
appreciation of the unspeakable beauties of God's
creation has a very stunted view of God Do you live in a
big city? Then make the time to get out of that city and
walk in an uninhabited area and drink in the greatness
of God through the creation. Get away from the city
lights at night and gaze up at the incredible panorama
of countless stars in the sky. Listen to the songs of the
birds and insects and pause to consider the huge trees
that have miraculously grown and stood through so
many years and storms. Look at the beauty of the
flowers and butterflies that are made by God to flourish
for such short periods of time. Feel the solidness of the
rocks that simply endure for year after year, unchanged
by the swiftly changing fortunes of mankind all around
them. Look at the intricate and uncountable details of
every thing in creation. Cities are man made. They are
nothing compared to the greatness of God!
When God said, "Let us make man in Our image," He
gave us the ability to create. The rest of creation is a
reflection of God's image, but humans are unique in
their ability to create. Oh, animals can build things, but
they don't create. They can think and reason and
problem solve, and all of them have the ability to love,
but they cannot create. Only humans can do that.
However, there is one thing that humans CANNOT
create, and that is LIFE. No created creature can create
life. The great Creator has reserved that right for
Himself. That is why life is so precious. All life flows
from God Himself and must be continually sustained by
Him.
The problem is that humans have become so centered
on themselves, and what they can do, that they ignore
or don't understand or think about just how intimately
involved God is in the creation. Even Christians tend not
to appreciate or value the creation, they mostly think
about what they can do or have done. Our thinking
tends to be that "God created the world and the
universe and set it going, and now He is sort of just
sitting back to see what will happen." Wrong! God is
continually, intimately, involved in all of creation. And
not only this, but all of creation knows the Creator,
except humans. The Lord very clearly taught me this
lesson years ago through a rather startling incident.
I will tell you of this experience next time. God bless,
may He open your eyes to the awesome beauty of His
creation which reflects the great love and beauty of God
Himself. Rebecca |

I don't know what option to use than to my blessed brothers and sisters to get a response of help from them as I respect all to be body of Christ ... i had to be decisive as quickly here because of circumstances and time,,.which the bitter but sincere truth is I can write my degree exams without school fees.. I had the confirmation but wasn't sure before.. thought I could pay later when I. have money.. I asked with all cries and pain that no matter the process to help me get the 41200# because this week is last day for contribution. I will appreciate (note mizy B has promised to support me ) if I get the whole school fees, would let you all know.. its school demands and this is my finals degree session and that is why i haven't been around frequently... please, help a brother in need.. surprised here beause i prayed before i went to do course registration but surprised they still said i can''t until i have paid my bills.

good evening my brothers and sisters, GOD bless u all |
1-25-16 Hello everybody. I am finally back to work in
the office. It has been a very long and difficult recovery
from the two major surgeries I had just one month
apart. I thank you all for your prayers and support
during this difficult time. I am starting to travel and
minister again next month, February.
In one of my last posts, I told you that I was going to
write about the important subject of learning how to
hear God speak to you personally. I am going to start
that series today.
LEARNING HOW TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE -- PART 1
copyright 2011
One of the most important things every Christian must
do is learn to hear God's voice. You are lost and
without guidance if you cannot hear from the Lord. The
whole Bible is the story of God speaking individually to
human beings. God created us, and it is His desire to
stay in communication with us. He speaks to His people
in many different ways. We are now living under the
New Covenant through Christ Jesus, and God says:
"Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will
make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the
house of Judah . . . For this is the covenant that I will
make with the house of Israel after those days, says the
Lord: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on
their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be
My people. None of them shall teach his neighbor, and
none his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for all shall
know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them
. . . In that He says "A New Covenant," He has made the
first obsolete. Now what is becoming obsolete and
growing old is ready to vanish away." Hebrews 8:8-13
Those of us who are gentile Christians are a part of the
"house of Israel," because we have been grafted in.
(Romans 11:23-25) Therefore, this scripture applies to
us as well.
This scripture makes it clear that God intends to speak
directly to each one of His people. He will put His laws
into their hearts and minds. It is with your mind that
you hear the Lord speak to you. The Apostle Paul
wrote:
"Nowthe Spirit expressly says that in latter times some
will depart from the faith . . ." 1 Timothy 4:1
The Holy Spirit was speaking to Paul and the Christians
of that day in very clear and concise terms. We can
expect the same today God is "the same yesterday,
today, and forever." (Hebrews 13: God has not
changed. As He spoke to His people in Biblical days, so
He speaks to His people today. It is impossible to live
the Christian life successfully without day-to-day
guidance from the Lord.
I was raised in a legalistic fundamentalist church that
taught that the Holy Spirit essentially ceased to function
after the cannon of the scripture was closed. We were
never taught that God wants to speak to us directly. I
didn't know such a thing was possible. I didn't pull out
of that church until I was 26 years old. By then I was
empty and unhappy, looking for something to fulfill my
life. I thought it would be a career, and I entered my
first year of medical school. By divine appointment, I
started going to a campus ministry there on the college
campus. For the first time in my life I was exposed to
people who experienced the Lord personally and heard
Him speak to them. They believed in and walked in the
fullness of the functioning of the Holy Spirit. At first I
was blown away! Then I became so hungry! I wanted
what those folks had, and I was determined to find it. It
was during that year that I entered into a covenant with
the Lord to make Jesus the total master over every area
of my life. My greatest desire was to experience God
personally and to hear His voice. I wanted God to speak
to me! That desire has become a lifelong quest for more
than 38 years now. The greatest treasure I will ever
have is my personal relationship with the Lord. I am
writing these posts to help you in the same quest. It will
be well worth your time and effort.
To be continued.
God bless you all. Rebecca. |
analice107:thank God for all.. satan uses fear tactic people countless times and people also feel sin makes them weak and think this is a real exploitation because I feel God can tolerate anything no. matter how foolish it may be but Sin. Also, God is love and this no force both in heaven and on earth can ever imitate.. where there is removal of love, it is most easiest to commit sins there and attract demons there (1 corrinthians 13). am in school now |
what about a small pistol |
