Hey everyone! So yeah, I went to another one of our women's Bible studies today. I always look forward to them. This is my third one that I've been to and I get blessed every time I go. It always amazes me how God talks to me and the ways that He does it.
The title alone was a big deal for me! Everyone always says that God talks to them...but I always wondered how it happens for everyone else! God talks to me in so many different ways; however, sometimes it's hard to respond. I hate getting put in that "awkward" position. God definitely knows how to take me out of my comfort zone.
I absolutely love hearing from God...sometimes I don't really love what He has to say. Being in a college (worldly) atmosphere is not always a walk in the park. God tells me things on a day to day basis that I should do for Him and to further His Kingdom. Sometimes I decide "Oh, I will just do it later" or "Oh, someone else can take care of it". That's not right at all. There may not be another time for that person. I may be his/her only chance. If it only takes me getting out of my comfort zone to help a person devote their life to God...I should have NO excuse.
So...I open up my lesson book and this is what it says.
Lord, heighten my spiritual senses to see that which is not visible hear that which is not audible sense that which is not tangible believe that which is unbelievable.
Teach me to sort through the noises of this world to hear and discern Your powerful, wonderful, pure, precious voice.
I read that...and I was like "this is definitely the Bible study for me!" We started the video and I just listened and attempted to fill out all of these blanks on my page. I got distracted by what the lady was saying
on the video. She said something that really stuck out to me. She said "I don't want to hear generally what God has to say, I want to hear specifically." That was so amazing to me. To specifically hear what God has to say would be amazing.
To hear God...you have to be apart of the family of God. Without being a part...you won't hear Him...everything will sound like jibber jabber. You have to have the spiritual device to hear God and that spiritual device is received whenever you give you heart to God. You must be a true "sheep" and God must be your true "Shepard". The only thing that should matter is who I belong to. It doesn't matter what I've done in my past...it doesn't matter how much money I have...it doesn't matter if I "fit in"...it only matters that I belong to a MIGHTY GOD! He calls me His!
I am so excited to see what God does in this Bible study and I'm so ready to hear from Him even clearer than I do now. :D
