Hear What the Spirit is Saying

Hear what the Spirit says, church. God has so much to tell us. 

"Be not distracted with the things of this world but fix your thoughts on Me." "Break out of your worries, fretting, selfishness, complacency and dullness and worldly pleasures. Don't miss what I have for you. I have plans that I want to speak to you about. There is an urgency. Do not waste time. I want you to be in my perfect will and timing so come into My presence and quiet your heart and hear; really hear."

A Word of Encouragement

Be encouraged today, for God is with you.

2 Chronicles 20:15, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jahaziel and he spoke to King Jehoshaphat. King Jehoshaphat had a big problem of a huge army planned on coming against them. These are the words that were spoken to this king and today you can be encouraged also. God said, “Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army for the battle is not yours, but God’s; 16 march down against them. 17 You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will give you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow and the Lord will be with you.” 18 Jehoshaphat bowed with his face to the ground and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down in worship before the Lord. 21,22 The battle was fought and won when people were appointed to the head of the army to sing and praise God. 

Whatever your concern is today know that God loves you and is all powerful to bring victory. Keep thanking and praising Him.

Power in the Voice

The voice of God created this world. Read Psalm 29 about the voice of God. 

Jesus spoke to the raging waves and they were stilled, Matthew 8:26. 

Jesus spoke to Lazarus in the tomb and said to come forth, John 11:43.

We are told in God's word to speak to a mountain (a problem) and see results, Matthew 17:20. 

Ezekiel spoke to the bones and they rose up Ezekiel 37:1-5.

Joshua marched around the walls of Jericho and gave a shout and the walls came down.

Isaiah 50:4, “The Lord God has given me the tongue of the learned that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary.” 

Hebrews 4:12 says that the Word of God is powerful. Use your voice to praise God. Use your voice to pray and know that those words go across the miles bringing change to hearts and lives. When you speak forth Scripture, know those words spoken bring results. The Holy Spirit can speak through you, setting captives free.

Being a Follower of Christ

Followers of Jesus Christ know that we are called the children of God in Matthew 5:9. In Deuteronomy 7:6 we are called Chosen Ones. In Matthew 5:13 we are the salt and in Matthew 5:14 we are light in this world of darkness and wickeness. God is holy and He has called us to be holy. We belong to the Kingdom of God not the kingdom of this world.

Romans 12:2 tells us not to conform to the standards of this world. We are to follow the teachings of Christ in the Bible. The ways of God are contrary to the ways of this world. We are to think like Christ and speak like Him. Our attitude and actions are to be like Him. Psalm 1:1 (NKJ) Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. Let us search our hearts today and repent of any thought or attitude that is not pleasing to God. A pure heart is a peaceful heart.
