I AM Here

“Dear friends, do not believe everyone who claims to speak by the Spirit. You must test them to see if the spirit they have comes from God. For there are many false prophets in the world. This is how we know if they have the Spirit of God: If a person claiming to be a prophet acknowledges that Jesus Christ came in a real body, that person has the Spirit of God.”

1 JOHN 4:1-2

To hear God, you must seek God until you learn to hear him above all other things - you must be abandoned to him by desire. The Spirit of God lives in humans - The Lord is sovereign over all living things - over all creation.  

He is found in the stars - the moon - the birds - the Lord is All in All - and he desires your time with him privately so you can learn to hear him and to understand the truth - that is everything leading time away from him is meaningless and is certainly passing away. Seek Jesus with all your heart and mind. 

To live in the spirit of Jesus is to identify with his death in all situations of your life - such that you allow his resurrected life to be seen in you. To identify with the death of Jesus is to allow death to your natural self - so that you may live freely in the Spirit minding only one master - King Jesus. If you remain alive to your natural self - how can the living spirit of Jesus Christ be seen in you? How can you discern the voice of God? 

The complete identification with the resurrected Lord King Jesus is what allows you to learn to discern his voice in all situations. It is in this relationship to Christ that I always hear God and he always hears me. I know the Lord Jesus well as he is my brother, my King, my hope and my destiny. I hear God - because I am always with God. 

“My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27 

“Anyone who belongs to God listens gladly to the words of God. But you don’t listen because you don’t belong to God.” John 8:47 

“I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.” Psalm 32:8-9 

“My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” Galatians 2:20 

“Since we have been united with him in his death, we will also be raised to life as he was. We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin.” Romans 6:5-6
