Greetings in the precious name of Jesus, our Redeemer!
Have you ever been motivated by something you heard someone say or speak about?
We probably all have!
We have a new video today that deals with recognizing the difference between emotional hype and the leading of God’s Spirit.
This is a topic that every believer needs to understand, so we hope you will watch the video, and that doing so will bring better understanding to you when it comes to this topic.

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.
There is a tendency today in Christianity to chase the things that are perceived to be God. We will often see this when people flock to various “moves of God”.
Word will get out that there is a “revival taking place” at a specific place. People will flock to that place by the tens of thousands, or perhaps even by the hundreds of thousands.
While this is understandable to a certain degree, it can also be a very big distraction for most people.
The pursuit of God is something personal. It takes place at the heart level, not in so many super-exciting, hype-filled, well-promoted events that make bold promises of miracles and other super-natural occurrences.
Now, this is not to say that God doesn’t move in ways that are exciting and awe-inspiring. He can and He does. But not because we have said it will be so. God is God and He will not be pushed or influenced by our need for excitement and awe.
God is a personal God who moves and meets us one on one. He wants us to seek Him wholeheartedly in a close, intimate way that can’t happen in so many hype-filled, crowded places where noise and excitement rule.
As God passed by Elijah in the verses above, there were many spectacular events that took place; rocks breaking into pieces, mighty winds, earthquakes and fire. But God was not in any of them.
In the end, there was a still, small voice. This can also be translated as a small, quiet whisper. It was there that God was found.
So, despite our innate ”need for speed” and excitement, let’s be sure to get personal with God and keep our priorities straight when it comes to what we chase and pursue.
Pursue God, and only God. And watch as our relationship with Him becomes so much more than hype and noise.
