Not only is there the greatest wisdom in doing that, because it’s His wisdom. Matt 18:2-‐4 We really do – we come to the Lord as little children. We approach this like an innocent little child: Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
That Voice has a resonance in our hearts that no other voice can duplicate. It takes a little practice, but it really does work. John 10:27Īnd you can really hear the Lord’s voice between the lines. James 1:5-‐6 and My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. So, the way we receive guidance from the Lord is to simply pray for guidance. You’ll feel the anointing on those words, just for you in that situation. And when you read it slowly, like I said – kind of ‘reading between the lines’ in a letter – the anointing you’ll feel it. When we’re reading, the Lord anoints certain things. At that point, we stop and linger, soaking in the anointed words and allowing them to minister to us. As we begin to read, some of the lines will begin to really resonate deeply in our spirits. This book that has Scriptures sorted by different topics, so when you open it you’re immediately in the midst of Scriptures about a topic like Brotherly Love, Help In Troubles, Marriage, Parent’s Duties, etc. But, rather than using the entire Bible, we use a little book, called the Bible Promise Book by Barbour Publishers. Our opinions about things don’t matter, it’s God’s opinion that matters and when we want an ‘outside of ourselves’ confirmation, we pray and open the Bible and begin to read. This is how we get our confirmations from the Lord. “Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, ‘Before the cock crows, you will deny me three times’” (Matthew 26:75). When the angel told Mary that she would have a child: “Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord be it unto me according to your word ” (Luke 1:38). “So, then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). When God gives a rhema for us to act upon, He often confirms it by a second and third one, that “in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established” (II Corinthians 13:1). Jesus said, “The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life” (John 6:63). Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. It just takes a little practice to get the hang of it. It’s kind of like, reading between the lines. If we are listening very carefully, we hear the Lord’s wisdom for us. So, when we are reading our Bible, all of a sudden something on the page catches our attention and is quickened by Holy Spirit for a current life situation. The second Greek word that describes Scripture is “rhema”, which refers to a word that is spoken and means “an utterance.” A rhema is a verse or portion of Scripture that Holy Spirit brings to our attention to address a need for wisdom and for direction. John 1:1įor the word of God is quick, and powerful. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The first, logos, refers to the inspired Word of God and to Jesus, Who is the living Logos. There are two Greek words that describe Scripture which are translated word in the New Testament. But for now, let’s keep it simple and start with the basics. There are different levels of training, and as you mature, the Lord will take you into deeper waters with this practice. In this very simple book, you are taught to read a section of Scripture and listen for the Lord’s voice in a personal way, guiding you in everyday circumstance. It was then that I learned to listen to the message within a message. When I first became a Christian, the church I was attending was doing a Bible study by Evelyn Christenson, on a book called Lord, Change Me. He’s got His Grace right there ready to give it to you, if only you’ll exercise your faith muscle and use it. Matt.7:7 And the Lord is really up for this, guys. Nothing mysterious about it, Seek and ye shall find, ask and it shall be given to you. But, He has asked us to keep our focus on teaching you to get your own words. Just about every other e-‐mail or private message that comes to us from our different sites is requesting a word from the Lord. And you know, our channel is not just about intimacy it’s also about learning to hear from God on your own. This is a teaching on getting your own word from the Lord. This is a teaching from Clare given on June 24, 2015
