Dailies ~ in His Word
October 1, 2019
Are you listening? What do you hear? Is
it His voice?
It is easy at times to listen to what
someone says but not hear it, not really hear it.
Most
assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him
who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
Most assuredly, I say to you, the hour
is coming, and now is, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son
of God; and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in Himself, so He
has granted the Son to have life in Himself, and has given Him authority to execute
judgment also, because He is the Son of Man. Do not marvel at this;
for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who
have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to
the resurrection of condemnation. I can of Myself do nothing. As I hear,
I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My own will but the will
of the Father who sent Me. John 4:24-30
Do
you hear His word? How would you know?
There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities,
but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the
profit of all: for to one is
given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of
knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of
healings by the same Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to
another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation
of tongues. But one and
the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one
individually as He wills. 1 Corinthians 12:1-11
One way is that
it speaks to your soul. The way this happens is via the Holy Spirit which
identifies with the Holy Spirit within you from the time that you first
believed.
Sometimes you
just hear a word spoken at church or another gathering, or even one on one with
a friend in bible study, and you know it seems to stand out to you. As if in an
answer to the silent questions you were asking; as if someone told the speaker
your secret, only no one did.
Another way to
know that it is God is that it is working toward good, for God is good. Unless
it is a warning of something bad coming your way, most things you read that is
geared toward you is a good thing.
I mean when God
shares someone’s story in the Word of God that does not end well because thy id
not heed His Words, well that’s pretty obvious that He wanted the good to come,
and we should pay attention!
Seek you first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added
unto you. This spoke to me before and I
went back to find out what ‘all these things’ were. In Matthew 6:1-34 you can
read about it for yourself, but its talking about food, clothes etc, and the staples
of life. God wants us to seek the things of God, the spiritual gifts types of
things and to do good for others.
If you are
hearing the Word of God today, if He is telling you something, feel free to
respond on our face book page, in His Love!
Heavenly Father
help us to listen for your voice, weather it is still and small or big and
obvious; we want to hear your voice today, In Jesus’ name, amen.
