Learn My Voice

“When we tell you these things, we do not use words that come from human wisdom. Instead, we speak words given to us by the Spirit, using the Spirit’s words to explain spiritual truths. But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.”

1 CORINTHIANS 2:13-14

The Lord is always with you. Those who call Jesus Christ Savior, Redeemer and King - and are baptized in his Holy Spirit - are freely given a new spirit. At that point - you have 3 voices inside you. The enemy - the Holy Spirit - and you. 

The idea is to get rid of you - and rebuke the enemy. The enemy will remain - though with no power - until Jesus comes. Be strong in removing your will and allow the will of God to be seen and brought forth in you. How will you know? The fruit for which you bear. You are not defiled by what goes in your mouth - but by what comes out of it. God is love. 

Pray to the Lord of creation for discernment of the spirit such that you will begin to understand the voices for which emanate your being. Ask the Lord for clarity such that his will is done in you and no other. Speak to the Lord and ask for his clear voice to be heard above all others and then be obedient to the one that is love. Bring all points of internal confusion to Christ and be patient and calm as the one from heaven speaks softly. 

Give your mind to Christ and be renewed into his Holy Spirit of wisdom and understanding. Let no thing break the fervor for which you seek the voice of God in you. In crisis - cling to Jesus as he is calling you unto himself so that he can comfort you and guide you through. Life on earth is temporary - we are but dust in the wind given only a little while to prove that we belong to God. There is only death of the body - not death to the spirit - as the spirit lives forever and ever. So be willing to die to yourself so the spirit of love and hope will pour out of you like a river of living water.
