voice of the Lord

 


People amaze me.  In the past several days I have had the opportunity and honor to interact with many different people.  Some of them I have known for a long time but a few are new friends.  


Watch to see who God brings you way to see what God is doing.  That really is a quote or sentiment that was shared by Henry Blackaby in his book Experiencing God.  This truth has found it’s way in to my life many times through the last 3 decades.  


Through the multiple conversations I heard the voice of God.  My heart moved through these conversations.  One was a dear lady going through a painful time with her family.  Another was simple conversation re-connecting with an old friend that I always enjoy being around.  Another was a young guy that I enjoy being connected to and watching his family grow.  This guy makes me smile a lot.  Even another conversation was with a person I have known for a year or little more, but this conversation when deeper and was huge to hear his heart to help people in need.


Listen to what God says.  Do what God says you are to do.  Share what God tells you to share.  This might be just what someone needs from God, and you become a blessing directly from God.  Someone needs that.


Deuteronomy 13:4  NLT

Serve only the Lord your God and fear him alone. Obey his commands, listen to his voice, and cling to him.


James 1:22  NLT

But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves.


Our call is to listen and obey.  Know His voice and follow it.  Don’t second guess what God is doing.  His plan is perfect.  You won’t be the only one impacted by what He does through you.


Mark 1:3  NLT

He is a voice shouting in the wilderness, ‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming! Clear the road for him!’”

Francis Chan's "Forgotten God" (brand new book)

One of the most powerful preachers, writers and leaders of our time, in my opinion, is Francis Chan.  His first book, Crazy Love , revolutionized my thoughts about God's love as well as my interacting with God.  Now it is time for a brand new book from Chan being released tomorrow, September 1st.  The book is Forgotten God .   This is a phenomenal book about the power that Christians and the church can and must tap into.  All of it is within the Holy Spirit.  Francis talks about the power that was seen in the book of Acts when the Holy Spirit began to move among people.  It is true that many have avoided or maybe forgotten what the Holy Spirit is all about.   And like the Savior who poured out His life and blood so we have reason to rejoice, we were made to lay down our lives and give until it hurts.  We are most alive when we are loving and actively giving of ourselves because we were made to do these things.  It is when we live like this that the Spirit of God moves and ac...

inspiration from C.S. Lewis

There are many people, past and present, who get our attention by what they write or say or share.  For me C.S. Lewis is one of those.  He was a prolific writer who continues to grab the attention of thinkers from many different points of view. Lewis first grabbed my attention when I was in 5 th grader, and our teacher, Mrs. Foy, shared The Chronicles of Narnia with our class.  It was a powerful time that this dreamer opened doors to thinking like I had never lived before.  He wrote of faith, of far off places and of strong figures who found their character rooted deep in God. C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and died in 1963, 7 years before I was born.  It wasn’t until his 30’s that under the influence of his friend Tolkien that he came to be a Christian.  He was raised in a traditional church going home, turned away from God as an Atheist in his teen years and through trying to stay away from God and faith returned to God with...
