The Spirit Speaks
Kathy on Feb 11th 2008
My husband and I have had the privilege to travel many places in the USA and the world. As we worship and speak in many different churches I have noticed from time to time I hear a theme. I may hear one sermon in Australia, another in the Philippines, then yet another in a conference in the US. The preachers are different, the countries are different, even the sermons are different but one message will come out clear and strong. God is speaking to His Church. His Spirit knows no bounderies of space and time. We are all one body and He speaks to the hearts of ministers across the globe and they deliver His message to His people.
God also gives us personal messages. It happens to me over and over again…growing in the Lord is a lifetime journey for the child of God. I will be reading God’s Word, hearing a sermon, reading an article, or I may be having a conversation with someone and I begin to realize I am hearing Him speak something specific to my heart. Lately it’s been the subject of words. My words count, I cannot speak idly. I must speak Life into the lives of others. I believe the older we grow, the more we experience life, our influence widens; we affect more people. So I am asking the Lord to help me in this area.
Just as a soldier in an earthly army, or a doctor in the medical field is constantly learning, Christians are always learning from The Teacher. His Word, the Bible, being our standard to test what we hear in our spirit. Don’t let yourself get in a rut, that’s boring.
Walking with Jesus, the living Christ, is definitely an aventure. This journey takes us from the mountain top to the valley and through the everyday walking in the plains. But dull and boring?…NEVER! If we will spend time in His Presence along the way, He is joy unspeakable and full of glory…ALWAYS!
So what are you hearing The Spirit say to you?
