1Co 2:7 The wisdom I proclaim is God's secret wisdom, which is hidden from human beings, but which he had already chosen for our Glory even before the world was made.8 None of the rulers of this world knew this wisdom. If they had known it, they would not have Crucified the Lord of glory. 9 However, as the scripture says, "What no one ever saw or heard, what no one ever thought could happen, is the very thing God prepared for those who love him." 10 But it was to us that God made known his secret by means of his Spirit. The Spirit searches everything, even the hidden depths of God's purposes. 11 It is only our own spirit within us that knows all about us; in the same, only God's Spirit knows all about God. 12 We have not received this world's spirit; instead, we have received the Spirit sent by
God, so that we may know all that God has given us.
Joh 10:3 The gatekeeper opens the gate to him and the sheep recognize his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
God means business with us - He speaks to us - He guides us - but we need to listen and get to a place where we will know His voice and act
on His voice.
Why do we sometimes then tend to think that he speaks more to some than to others - sometimes we even wonder if people are crazy if they go round making statements like : God told me or God said to me.. Or God showed me....
Some mistakes we make:
Afraid of making a mistake................................
Lack of trust.........................
Too busy or in a hurry............impatient
Too much clutter in our lives or our quiet time.....................
Some things to understand:
Start small .................... He`ll begin to speak to you about the little things................. Then move into the meatier stuff.
Don`t think it`s insignificant - God makes it His business to be part of every detail of our lives.
Be expectant................. Have a desire and an expectation to hear from Him.
Be aware....... It`s not always in the Spirit ........... Sometimes it is in what we read or listen to..............
Be submitted.............. We live our lives submitted to Him.
If you trust Him, He will bring you along one step at a time in a way that will help you, not hurt you.
God will never speak to you in contradiction to His Word. He never brings condemnation, He will convict and guide only.
God wants two things from us : Faith and Obedience. Amen
This is so true, I think also important is that God does not speak the everyone in the same manner (medium). Some hear God's voice, other through the word etc. God speaks to me through things I read. It is always timely and uplifting. I know I must be ALERT or I will miss his "Voice".
