POSITION YOURSELF TO HEAR

By

Hi dear friends, to hear God's voice, we must always be humble and always be ready to hear from Him in whatever way He chooses to speak. In his book "Speak Lord, I'm listening" by Larry Kreider, he listed at least 50 ways!

Learning to discern God's voice takes effort on our part. The Lord wants us to take the time to listen as we open our hearts to hear. He wants us to become increasingly familiar with His voice as our relationship deepens with Him. The more often we meet with God in prayer and talk to Him, the clearer His voice becomes.

The Bible instructs us to make a concerted effort to meet with the Lord, thereby placing ourselves in a position to hear from Him. (Jeremiah 29:12-13). God wants us to acknowledge Him in our life. If we acknowledge a friend, we talk to Him, express our appreciation for Him and recognise His presence in our life.

Imagine your friends not acknowledging your presence when you are together. You try to talk to them, but they completely ignore you. In fact, they talk right over you as if you were not even there. That is how we treat the Lord if we are not acknowledging Him moment by moment. If we do not recognise God's presence in our daily life and activities, it is little wonder that we have troble hearing from Him.

Although we may wish that God would send a glowing 10-foot angel to reveal God's will to us so that we have no doubt it is His voice we are hearing, but God often teaches us through our stumbling attempts of trial and error as we take steps of faith. steps of obedience.

My own personal thoughts:In whatever time, place or condition, just 'sense' His Spirit next to you. Talk to Him softly as though we are talking to somebody invisible. Open our eyes to see Him too. He reveals Himself in nature, people etc. Just practise it, may take quite some time .

A eagle story

By
Got this story from an email and find it very meaningful. Please read on ... There is a story about a little eagle that fell out of its nest and landed in a turkey farm. The eagle grew up among the turkeys and, although he looked a bit different, he learned to waddle like a turkey, bob his head like a turkey, and act like a turkey. One day the young eagle looked up into the sky and saw a beautiful eagle soaring above. The little eagle in the turkey yard thought, Oh, I would love to be able to do that! As the eagle soared overhead, it looked down and saw the young eagle below. Suddenly it swooped down to the ground and asked, "What are you doing here?" The little eagle replied, "I am just here in the turkey yard where I have always been." The great eagle looked and said, "Spread your wings, boy. You do just what I do. Follow me." Then he flapped his wings and lifted off the ground. The young eagle tried it, too. "Wheeee! This is all right!" "...

God is watching

By
I heard this true story during one of our home meeting. I find this story very touching and decided to put it in my blog as an encouragement to those who are faithfully taking care of their loved one. You are not alone, God is watching our every action. A sister in china shared that while her husband was in coma,she read some scriptures from the new testament to him daily and after each reading, she will pat her husband on his shoulder and say "amen" on his behalf. She did this faithfully for ten years. One day, while doing the regular reading, she suddenly heard a loud "Amen" and it came from none other but her husband. God has honoured our sister by showing mercy to her husband and while he was still in coma, his spirit is still very much alive. It is a good reminder to me not to belittle what we are doing for others. When we have a heart, God will show mercy to those whom we are praying and taking care.

Hearing God (silent retreat)....Part 3

By
Genesis 1:6 Then God said, “Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.” Genesis 1:7 Thus God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. Genesis 1:8 And God called the firmament Heaven. So the evening and the morning were the second day. As the light came in, my spirit was quickened, it became alive. There is heaven in me, a inner sanctuary...my spirit. A verse came to me: Col 3:2 Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Whenever I learn to exercise my spirit to set my minds on the heavenly things, the earthly things/situations become dim and fade away. There are times, we toggle between our spirit and our flesh...we murmur...but however, when we learn to turn to our spirit and trust Him.. He restore us and leads us once again. Genesis 1:9 Then God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one ...
