Bible Verse of The Day – 9-13-17

James 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

When we truly submit to God, and what He wants to do, in us, for us and through us, we will feel His peace come over us. We will know, even though we don’t quite understand it, that we have finally given into Him and stopped fighting it.

I remember a time when we thought we needed to switch some things up and we were trying our best to do the right thing and make the right choices.

But, even though we thought we were heading in the right direction, something on the inside of us wasn’t completely sure. We didn’t have His peace. That’s an indicator that we still need to seek God for the complete plan and wait for Him to show us.

We continued on the road we were on because we didn’t know what else to do.

After some time went by, and we had made some plans, lined things up, signed paperwork related to certain changes, God gently reminded us that He had another way. And His way would work better at taking care of this particular situation.

We literally were ¾ of the way into this thing with all of the decisions we had made, but we humbly decided to pull out and agree with Him.

We are thankful we choose His way, because by doing so, He brought it around in such a way that we would never have been able to do with our own understanding.

Don’t be afraid to pull back, or pull out of the work we have begun, if we are not feeling God’s peace and certainty in it.

All it takes is submitting and saying “OK, God. We tried to do what we thought was the right thing, but it’s not feeling so much like the right thing right now. We really want it done Your way.” Then simply let Him see it through and follow His leading, taking only the steps He directs us to take.

He will direct our path if we will let Him.

Psalm 25:4 (NKJV) 4 Show me Your ways, O Lord; Teach me Your paths.

Bible Verse of The Day – Did God Really Say That? – 8-27-17

Greetings in the name of our great God and our Savior, Jesus Christ!

This happens a lot. And our newest video talks specifically about this. In today’s video, we dive headfirst into this delicate subject. And we give real-life examples.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-6-17

John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

The Lord speaks to His children, each and every one of us, from time to time. Many people ask what His voice sounds like. We get asked quite frequently, “how do I hear God’s voice?”.

Learning to hear His voice takes time. It also requires a willingness on our part to stop what we are doing and hear what He is saying. It takes us listening to what we hear and then doing what He may be asking us to do. It’s a faith walk.

Sometimes we may find ourselves making a mistake, thinking we were doing the right thing. Later we realize it was not Him, but merely our own desire or idea.

It’s OK if we have missed it at times. We just need to repent and get back on the right track. God does not expect us to be perfect at this.

To learn His voice takes drawing close to Him and, over time, we will get better at it.

We are always learning as we go and it doesn’t just happen overnight. It takes listening and discerning, which the Holy Spirit will help us with as we go.

Don’t be afraid to ask God to speak to you and to help you with your decisions. He is always willing and ready.

Just listen. He may bring the answer to us in a way we would never have expected. So we need to be open minded and use His word as our guide and our measuring stick. His voice will always line up with His word, the Holy Bible.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-4-17

1 Peter 5:7 (NKJV) 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Knowledge and understanding come when we step out and do what God is saying to do.

Some may say “how do we know what God is telling us to do?”.

Knowing what God is telling us to do is important and it takes seeking Him through prayer, through His word and listening.

Sometimes we know just by something He may drop into our spirit. Or maybe through a dream. Sometimes the answer is right in His word.

Other times He may use someone to share something they went through that was similar, and we find our answer through their story.

Are you in need of answers today? If you wait and listen, your answer will come as you lean on God for His understanding.

God is faithful. He cares about you and how your situation turns out. He wants the best for us. Remember, He loves us more than we could ever imagine.

Zephaniah 3:17 (NKJV) 17 The Lord your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing.”

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-12-17

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

How do we hear God? How do we know what He’s saying to us? How do we distinguish His voice when He speaks to us?

As we’ve mentioned before, this is one of the most frequently asked questions we get.

Sometimes hearing God is as simple as getting alone with Him, shutting out the rest of the world, and listening. Listening for that still small voice.

Our world is so busy. We have so very many things vying for our time and attention. And with all of that noise and all of those distractions, it can make it very hard to hear anything else, including God’s voice.

So sometimes we need to take steps to shut down the noise and cut off the distractions and separate ourselves from the pull of the world… and sit quietly with God.

Shut off the smartphone. Turn off the tablet. Power down the computer. Turn off the TV. And maybe even turn off the worship music. Yes, even the worship music can be a distraction at times.

And then we just need to get on our face before God.

Then, and only then will we hear Him speak. Only when we have created an environment that’s conducive to listening will we be able to hear Him. And as we spend time alone in the quiet, we need to be sure we’re not spending the entire time talking.

God wants to hear from us. But if we spend the entire time talking, we will never hear Him when He does speak.

Disconnect. Separate. Listen. Hear.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-17

Matthew 14:29 (NKJV) 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus.

This is amazing! Peter stepped out of the boat, and walked on the water. That’s how miracles happen, when Jesus asks us to do something and we do it.

Walking on water is definitely not something Peter would have tried on his own. He heard what Jesus was saying to him, “COME.” And Peter stepped out in obedience and faith. And there he was, right in the middle of a miracle.

How do we hear what God is saying to us today? We pray, we read, we listen and then we take the steps that we hear, in faith.

Some steps will be hard to take, there is no doubt. But if they are ordered by God, don’t fear. Just walk.

Psalm 37:23 (NKJV) 23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, And He delights in his way.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-4-17

Proverbs 8:32 (NKJV) 32 “Now therefore, listen to me, my children, For blessed are those who keep my ways.

How do we hear God’s voice? This is a question that we get asked a lot.

God is God and He speaks to us in many different ways. We don’t know exactly how He will speak to you. But, we can say that He will communicate with you in a way that works for you. He is faithful!

Developing a relationship with Him is the main thing that helps us understand God when He speaks to us or prompts us. If we don’t know Him, it will be hard for us to discern if it is truly Him speaking or not.

The first things to do is learn about Him. The only way to do this is through reading His word. We learn His personality, His likes and dislikes, etc. Everything about Him is in there.

As we read the scriptures, communication with Him begins. We become one with Him as we open up and let His Words penetrate and change our heart.

It takes time, and even some trial and error on our end. But don’t give up. Keep going to Him and keep trying. We can even learn from our mistakes if we miss what God was saying to us.

Praying plays a big part in hearing God’s voice as well. We don’t have to spend hours doing this. Start by going to Him for small things that maybe we’re not sure about. Ask Him for His advice and what He wants us to do even in the small things. He loves to be included.

I’m amazed that even those small things that seem insignificant to us, He will take the time and help us through them.

And when we pray, we need to be sure we’re doing as much listening as we are talking. Many times we make the mistake of thinking that praying is only about us telling God what we want. We can fail to take the time to listen after we’re finished making our requests. And this is a big mistake.

It’s never too late to start learning God’s voice.

If you are involved in something today and you’re feeling like something’s not quite right, stop what you’re doing. Pull back and go to God. Ask Him to help you.

He will meet you there.

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-2-16

Psalm 95:6-7 (NKJV) 6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down; Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker. 7 For He is our God, And we are the people of His pasture, And the sheep of His hand. Today, if you will hear His voice:

How do we hear His voice?

We hear His voice when He becomes our God. We hear His voice when we decide to open up and listen. We hear His voice when we let Him have control over our situations, over our lives. We hear His voice when we pull back and let Him move.

It’s not hard to hear the voice of God. What is hard, and the thing we struggle the most with, is letting Him be God in our life.

If we can do this He will speak and show us all that He has for us and all that He wants to do with us and through us!

He will help us through the toughest of tough times. He will free us from the things in life that would want to take us out. He will love on us with His mercy and grace.

Oh come, let us Worship Him today. Bow down. Kneel before Him. He is our Lord and our Maker. Hear His voice. He is speaking.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-25-16

Exodus 4:19 (NKJV) 19 Now the Lord said to Moses in Midian, “Go, return to Egypt; for all the men who sought your life are dead.”

It’s funny how God will sometimes pull us out of something, only to bring us back in at another time.

We have to know that God knows man’s heart, their plans and agendas. Sometimes He may have to do a work in that person or situation and He needs us to be out of the picture for a while, for whatever reason.

It’s not up to us to question Him. It’s up to us to listen and follow, even when we don’t understand it.

Maybe down the road when things have worked their way out, and change has come, the time may come when it is safe for us to go back around.

In this case, Moses’ enemies had all died and it was now safe for him to return.

God knows the heart of man. He knows the agenda that may lie within them and He doesn’t want us to get hurt. He wants us safe and protected.

Remember that He knows better than we do in everything. Let Him direct us in and out of positions, places and situations.

Bible Verse of The Day – 12-4-15

Psalm 91:1 (NKJV) 91 He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

There is a “secret place”. It’s a place where we can hear God speak to us.

This isn’t necessarily a physical place. It could be. But it can also be a quiet time where we have no distractions.

Even if we’re not in a secret or secluded room, when we get peace, quiet and stillness, it allows us to hear God with no interruptions and no distractions.

Everyone wants to hear from God. It’s essential to building a strong relationship with Him. But so many times we’re so busy talking that we never leave quiet time to hear what He has to say.

Elijah wanted to hear from God. And he did hear. How did it happen? Not in thunder, not in a strong wind, not in fire or even in tremors of the earth. He heard God in a still small voice.

1 Kings 19:11-12 (NKJV) 11 Then He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice.

God wants us to be still and listen for Him. He wants us to hear Him. He wants us to be listening for Him at all times.

His voice brings peace, clarity, understanding, wisdom and revelation to our lives.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-8-15

Hebrews 3:15 (NKJV) 15 while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His voice, Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.”

There can be times when we know exactly what God wants us to do, but because it’s not what we want or we don’t like the timing He has for us, we can tend to ignore Him.

Ignoring what God is speaking to our hearts is just the same as rebellion. We are simply saying “we hear you God, but we really don’t want to go there or down that route. We don’t like Your plan.”

We have all been here at one time or another.

To get to the point of listening to God and hearing His voice takes being aware that He is with us at all times. He doesn’t have to leave our side to go help someone else, or leave someone else to come and help us.

So, if we are lost, He will help us find our place. He is Omnipresent, meaning He is everywhere at the same time. He is aware of EVERYTHING.

He has good plans for us.

Jeremiah 29:11 (NKJV) 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.

It’s never too late to begin to listen to God. He has hope and a future for us. Hear His voice today.
