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 – 1-10-17

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 – 12-26-14

Numbers 22:28(NKJV)28 Then the Lord opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”

If God wants to speak to any of us, He will find a way.

We can spend a lot of our time trying to figure things out and we can get so preoccupied with it, that we can miss the help that He sends our way because it’s not what or how we expected it to be.

Part of helping us is bringing the right people around us, at the right time. He also uses circumstances to help us learn certain things. And maybe, at times, we don’t like the person He may be using or we don’t like the circumstances He has us in, and we try hard to get out of it or lose the person that should be helping us.

There are many different ways He will show us things. As we see in this verse, He used a donkey. He opened its mouth and the donkey spoke what was needed to be said. Who would have thought that a donkey would speak?

Be open and willing to let God speak to us in any way that He chooses. We can’t be picky or we may miss out on the help that we need, or miss the solution to our problem.

He is a faithful God and nothing is impossible for Him.
