Seven Truths
About God Speaking to Us
Matthew 11:15 NKJV
He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Make no mistakes about God Speaking to us.
He does speak to us:
through our Bible Study and daily prayers;
through the Holy Spirit in us that we receive
through our acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Savior;
through our acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Savior;
through the righteous daily living and influence
of people around us; and
through our inspired intuition in our humble acceptance
of His continuous communications to us.
"He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"*
1. There can be no mistakes about this,
there is absolute Truth in His Word,
our failing is
not seeking His Word,
not seeking His Word,
not living in the Spirit,
resistance to understanding His Truth, and
purposely living in avoidance of His will.

2. God's words, His Truth, His plans speaks to us
through the Holy Spirit guiding our Lives in
our thoughts, speech, behaviors, and actions. That guidance comes in many different ways,
from what you may consider simple nudgings to
clear messages from everyday events or
perhaps through just simple
comments and behaviors
of friends around us.
We simply have to be clearly and humbly listening.

We simply have to be clearly and humbly listening.
3. God’s words are concise,
to the point, and wholly understandable.
We often just fail to listen but
He is the master of Communications.
In His time walking this earth,
Jesus was and
still is the "Great Communicator" (*2).

Most people just do not listen because
we too much of our time we are
telling Him of our plans and of our desires
that are focused on our selfish wants.

5. God speaks to us through his gift of nature around us.
We may find it in quietness as in the eye of a hurricane.
His word will protect us as
He protects nature by His designs.
We are inspired by His word and creation
as we are inspired by the sights of nature.

6. God speaks often! We hear more often
when we prepare ourselves to truly hear Him by -
humbly submitting ourselves to Him,
getting on our knees,
getting on our knees,
praying to be forgiven,
actively seeking His word for our lives
and just being still... listening.
7. Sometimes, when we are humble to hear or
even when we find ourselves in a panic,
He speaks to us loudly and
even when we find ourselves in a panic,
He speaks to us loudly and
we know His Truth through our intuition.
Intuition that is most often shaped by our attitudes.Our biggest problem when God Speaks? And,
FOR MANY OF US, WE CLAIM NOT TO HEAR,
but
It is not so much we do not hear,
we do hear Him, and very likely we hear Him often.
The Problem is
we often do not like what we hear,
we do not want what we hear,
and we have not prepared ourselves
for understanding what we hear,
and
in those circumstances and attitudes
we choose to not listen, act, and/or respond to Him!
This, because,
we are just too self interested in our own little lives,
living life in our own little wants, and
surviving life in our own selfish little world.
Then we wonder, why does God
seems so remote and hard to understand.
In Matthew 6:23 Jesus says:
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;
We better understand God's messages if we Righteously seek Him, decide to love Him, desire to Trust Him, and drive our lives to Obey Him.
Therefore, do not live "little lives", Rather, in earnestness, seek the Kingdom, and you will hear our Loving God often everyday.
Pray for the Holy Spirit to fill your life and through that you will better Discern His plan for you leading you to have the courage to Follow His truth. The fullness of the Holy Spirit will change your life (Acts 4:8).
Choose to Live Big in His Word and His plans for you. It will be good and His blessings will be in abundance,we just have to "Be Still", talk less, and listen more.
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Thanks be to God,
For God is so Good. Return to Main Menu
