How to Hear God's Voice

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 The Lord brought me this verse when he placed JoySoul Connection on my heart. Then later the Lord revealed an analogy to me that helped me better visualize the importance and truth packed into this verse.

Have you ever struggled to hear or recognize God’s voice? Have you looked at worldly decisions with your own thought lenses, but then wondered, where is God in this? Or see other Christians supporting views or not supporting views & wonder what God says? If you have ever struggled with this or see others that do, I first want to say I’m super proud of your reflection and desire to ask, “What does God say?” This is the analogy the Lord brought me: Do you know the Book Where’s Waldo? The character you must search like crazy just to find on the cluttered scene pages?? Ha-ha… I have such a hard time finding Waldo when I try. It would be so much easier to spot him if all the scene distractions were removed and it was just him on the page…. This illustration made me think of Christians trying to hear God’s voice or expecting God to show up in circumstances in their lives, that aren’t making the time to read their Bibles and be still with the Lord. (Psalm 46:10) When we miss out on that time, finding the Lord is like trying to find Waldo! We’re limiting our ability to be in tune with God, his voice, and his guidance. Be on guard Sister, as this lack of time with the Lord opens our thoughts to the enemy’s worldly influences and it becomes easier to listen to other “voices”. What is one thing you can start doing today to increase your awareness of the Lord’s voice? How will you recognize that whom you are trusting to influence you, knows the Lord? How will you seek guidance to ensure you recognize his promptings? I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me, you can do nothing. John 15:5

The Power of Prayer

 

The Power of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 This, then, is how you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from the evil one.”

Sister there is Power in your prayers! When you are growing in your relationship with the Lord, other than reading his word, Prayer is one of the best starting points. And if you’re like me and sometimes struggle with Perfectionism, I’m very happy to encourage you with this, Your Prayers Don’t have to be Perfect. God isn’t looking for perfection. He is looking for you to express what is in your heart and desires a relationship with you. As we read in the book of Matthew, we see that the disciples may have even struggled with how to pray as they asked Jesus how they should pray. After their request, Jesus taught them The Lord’s Prayer. Now, when you look at the design and outline of The Lord’s Prayer, you unlock a guide to the order Jesus taught to pray. This week I encourage you to Pray the Lord’s Prayer each morning as part of your morning routine.
