Hearing God

Romans 10:17 KJV
So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

There’s something about that first time you hear the good news. When someone finally explains it to you and you actually get it. Understanding has come. Something is being revealed to you. It’s actually more than just the person who is speaking to you or the preacher you heard. There’s another voice coming through. Someone’s knockin’ at the door; the door of your heart. Someone wants in.

Matthew 16:15
15“But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
16Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”
17Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,
for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood,
but by my Father in heaven.

Somehow through this process of Jesus spending time with His disciples and Peter pondering all these things, somehow in all of that God ministered to Peter. Somehow Peter heard God. Somehow he got a revelation from heaven. Jesus said that he didn’t get it from a man.

God is speaking to you too. He loves you and He wants you to hear His voice. He wants you to know Him. He wants you to be close to Him. He wants to be able to make your life into an amazing beautiful work of art. He wants to draw you close to Him. Then through you He wants others to be drawn close to Him.

Revelation 3:20 says:
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:
if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

Sounds like He’s seeking you, the question is are you willing to be found by Him? Are you willing to seek Him too?

Jeremiah 29:13 says
And ye shall seek me, and find me,
when ye shall search for me with all your heart.”  

If you seek Him it won’t be long before there’s a collision between the two of you. And what a glorious thing that will be. He loves you. Let Him find you.

Starting A New Journal

Hey Friends,

I love starting a new journal after I’ve filled up another. I recently started a new one. Here’s the entry from the first day:
Father, I call forth a new level of revelation, conversation and wisdom as you and I discuss in these pages the things we would share with each other.
Lord, fill my heart & mind with your wisdom.
Son, I’m speaking in such a way as to draw your heart and mind to a more open posture. I want you to hear me more clearly and obey me instantly. My “suddenlys” can be your “suddenlys”. Are you ready to move quick when I speak?
 
Here I am, now follow me.
 
Know my voice
Know it when it’s gentle
Know it when it’s kind
Know it when it’s soft
Know it when it’s strong
 
I am kind Son.
I am gentle
I am encouraging
But, I’m also a King!
I make decrees and commands that I expect to be obeyed.
 
Know my voice Son
Hear me whisper
Hear me shout
I am God
Theres is no other
Hear me out!
 
Son, the path I have for you is long.
There’s many years ahead.
Hear my voice speaking to you of my secret wisdom
…known to so few and some of it to none.
Come listen
Let me explain
 
I go before you…don’t make me follow
Watch & see what you see
I will show you
As I go before you it will naturally be in your sight.
You’ll know what to do.
– So slow down a bit –
Watch for my hand.
Don’t make moves without Me.
There’s safety in waiting.
Rest now.
