This Changes My Mind Throughout Each Day
My mind is being changed every day. The more I listen and the more I humbly obey, the more my mind grows in its ability to think beyond my own desires, feelings, and opinions. My most important listening isn’t hearing human presentations. It’s learning to hear what God’s Spirit is saying within me. Every day the Spirit is leading me to think and perceive a little more from His point of view instead of from my own perspective.
Seven times (in the book of Revelation) the risen Lord Jesus told Christians to hear what the Spirit says. Perhaps we should try listening to God’s Spirit. The first step to following the risen Jesus is to open your heart and begin to hear what the Spirit is saying.
It’s easy to hear a politician, an influencer, a preacher, or an expert. It’s more important to hear what God’s Spirit says. Christians have been trained to sit and hear what a preacher says, but not to hear what the Spirit is saying. Don’t just go to church. Hear what the Spirit says (all week long).
If the distracting noise around you and within you annoys you, step aside and begin to hear what God’s Spirit says. Let Him be your inner Guide! God has thing under control. To be led by the Spirit you need to take the time to hear what the Spirit says and then humbly and courageously obey.
When the fruit and the gifts of the Spirit are rare, it’s because Christians are unwilling to hear what the Spirit says. To avoid quenching the Holy Spirit, you have to learn to actively and continually hear what the Spirit is saying.
The sound of the still, small voice of God’s Spirit is sweeter than a bird’s tweet. Hear what the Spirit says.
Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice.” Hear what the Spirit says. How can you hear what the Spirit is saying? “Be still and know that I am God.”
Simon Says is a game. Preacher says can also be a game called “playing church.” To hear what the Spirit says is game on! Hear God’s Spirit now!
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.” (John 16:13.) Hear what the Spirit is saying.
“The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.” (Romans 8:16.) Hear what the Spirit says.
Moses was willing to hear what the Spirit says. He was humble and courageous enough to obey what he heard. O for some Christians who will follow Moses’ example into even more glory!
Too many Christians
Would rather hear
Their favorite preacher’s
Religious research
Than to let God search
Deep within their heart.
O how we need to
Hear what the Spirit
Is saying!
