STILL SMALL VOICE!

STILL SMALL VOICE

“…and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.”
— 1 Kings 19:12, NKJV

In Revelation 2, Jesus said: “The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Obviously, Yeshua is saying: “When you hear the Spirit speaking, listen.” To hear the Holy Spirit we must be actively listening. 

To detect the Holy Spirit’s voice, we need to develop the art of intuitive listening. A practical way to develop this sensitivity to the Spirit’s leading is to begin each day by spending alone time with God. During this time we simply look up, sit quietly before Him, and know that He is God. I often listen to gentle worship music during this devotional time.

Beloved one, if we are not disciplining ourselves by sitting before Him and simply being still, we will miss so many of the benefits of being His children. The prophet Elijah said the Lord spoke in a “still small voice.” Detecting the Holy Spirit’s voice is an intentional and trained behavior. It requires such a keen awareness that if we have not developed our attentiveness—if we are not actively listening—we can miss Him.

I want to encourage you today. In order to walk in divine alignment with the Lord and live under His anointing, it will take spiritual discipline. This will then produce active listening that will enable you to hear His still small voice

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...
