HE Speaks...On Hearing From the Lord...

When we prepare ourselves to hear from the Lord...we must allow our mind to be quiet...
Distractions and a sense of immediate need for prayer requests...is usually not fruitful...

The Lord does not work on our scale of time...He is endless...

We must prepare our heart, mind and body to be able to receive His graceful thoughts and directives...

First by giving Thanks that He is God...and we are not...

Second by eliminating distractions...Jesus often withdrew to the wilderness...alone... to speak with His heavenly Father...

The bible says "you have not because you ask not"  and  "if you remain in the Lord...and His word remains in you...ask and it will be yours!"

So upon desire to hear from God...we must ask...and then be quiet...

Unfortunately, as flawed human beings...we expect answers immediately...forgetting that God works on a different scale of time than ours! 

Ask the Lord to appeal to ALL your senses in answering your request...What might He show you today...what might you hear from a brother or sister in Christ today...what might you smell today that conjures up memories that bring clarity to your mind...

God answers our requests in SO many other ways than divine directed thoughts...

Be open to receive Him with ALL your senses today!  And be patient as He gracefully answers your requests!

In Jesus Name,
Amen
