Man Shall Not Live on Bread Alone

Jesus answered, “It is written: Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God” [Matt 4:4]

Scripture is God’s voice available for you in every moment, situation and crisis you face. We can be sure God desires to speak to us because he has given us his voice through the Bible. God desires to reveal to you his will and has given us his Spirit to guide you into all the truth…[John 16:13]. God has given us his Holy Spirit as our guide and tutor, and when you read Scripture with the help of this Teacher, the Bible is no longer just a book written thousands of years ago, but a source of life-giving revelation.

Listen To The Voice Of The Spirit

When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth [John 16:13, NLT]

Just as any good parent loves talking with their children, your heavenly Father loves talking to you, his child. His desire to communicate with us has led him to share the gift of the Holy Spirit with each of his children. This `Spirit of truth’ now dwells within you and through him you now have access to the heart of God. You can hear God’s voice, discern his will and live with the knowledge of his love.

The Spirit’s voice is perfect, full of love and always truthful. He longs to tell you how God feels about you, and to guide you to the Father’s perfect will and wonderful plans. Allow that truth to sink into your heart for a minute. Your Creator wants to help you with your decisions, relationships, work, finances, problems – with every aspect of your life. He longs to fully know you and be known by you. God speaking to you is less about your ability to hear his voice – it’s more about his desire for you to know him. His voice in your life is just another reflection of his grace, his unmerited favor, towards those who have put their trust in him.

Like any conversation, you will only hear God’s voice when you are listening. But like any good conversation, God longs to hear from you as well. Draw near to him with the assurance that he loves you and wants to speak to you. Let the weight of your conversation rest on God’s shoulders, as you take time to quiet your heart and learn to listen to the voice of the Spirit. If you’ve never done it before…start today!

Hope in a Broken World

Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer [Rom 12:12]

On the 1st of October one of the deadliest mass shootings in U.S. history took place as a gunman opened fire at a music concert in Las Vegas. Close to fifty people were killed and more than five hundred injured. Such random acts of violence make seeing the good in the world increasingly difficult, and when we are constantly confronted by all that heartache, loss and tragedy, it’s hard to have hope. It’s hard to believe that in spite of all the madness and chaos, there is hope for the world. How can we continue to have hope in a broken world? Read more

Listening Prayer

Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know [Jer 33:3]

It blows your mind and boggles the imagination, doesn’t it? To think that our heavenly Father would offer us glimpses into his mind and heart – share with us …marvelous and wondrous things that you could never figure out on your own [Jer 33:3, MSG]. How does that happen? In order for us to truly engage with God in prayer, we must Call to him and learn what it means to Listen…

Mother Teresa said: Prayer is not asking. Prayer is putting oneself in the hands of God, at his disposition, and listening to his voice in the depth of our hearts. Taking time to listen to God in prayer is at the very core of what it means to be a child of God. You and I have no less ability to hear God than Mother Teresa or any of the disciples. We can hear God’s voice if we are simply willing to make space and time to seek his presence in faith and wait on him patiently.

He invites us to Be still, and know that I am God [Psa 46:10]. In stillness we grow in our knowledge of who God truly is. God longs to make us a people who know him the way we know our family and friends. And learning to encounter God throughout your daily life starts with getting alone in the secret place, quieting your heart, and growing in your knowledge of God.

Brother Lawrence said: There is not in the world a kind of life more sweet and delightful than that of a continual conversation with God. All of the blessings of life in all its fullness flow from a place of intimate and continuous fellowship with our heavenly Father. Ask the Lord to reveal himself to you in the secret place today. Take time to simply listen to God. Pay attention to the way you feel as you quiet your heart – be sensitive to thoughts, ideas and shifting desires that he places in your heart.

May you experience a greater level of the joy of intimacy with Jesus – let your heart come alive as you spend time in the presence of a God who longs to speak to us…if we will take time to listen!
