The Life-Changing Experience of Hearing God's Voice and Following His Divine Direction Quotes

“We can’t hold un-forgiveness, hatred, envy and strife.   James 3:16 says, For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. I had to clean up my heart so that I wouldn’t give the enemy an opportunity to steal the seed that had been planted in my heart.”

“I believe that happened in Genesis 2:5. Though God spoke seed bearing vegetation into existence in the previous chapter, nothing grew until after Adam and Eve had worked the grounds and God sent His rain.            When God sees that we are working a process that He put into place from the beginning of creation, it moves Him. Our faith in sowing and reaping pleases Him. And He sends His rain to bless our faithful efforts. When you work this process, you set into motion a chain of events that God Himself has ordained to bring forth results. All it takes is for God to send His rain on your situation and you will see victory. In the meantime, keep watering.            I never stopped praying and thanking God that my son, the seed of the righteous, was blessed.”

“I’m learning to respond from my spirit and not from my flesh. Not overreacting to everything that happens, but being prayerful, controlling my thoughts, and taming my tongue.”

“Your dream seed will never grow unless you take action: prepare the ground, protect it, nurture it and allow it flourish. Until a seed is planted it can never fulfill its purpose. Before Jesus could change the course of our lives, he first was planted in Mary’s virgin womb. And the word cannot change your circumstances until you plant it in your heart and believe it by faith. Find the Word (seed) that pertains to your circumstances and sow those Words in your heart. Trust God. Believe Him. And know as long as the earth remains so shall seed time and harvest time.  The more you sow, the more you’ll grow.”

“Sowing is about so much more than giving a dime out of every dollar. I hope after reading this you no longer think of seeds as just money. Seeds are words, deeds, behaviors, attitudes and actions. Anything that can be exchanged can be a seed. Before a seed can ever have a chance of growing, it must first be planted. Only when you plant the Word of God in your heart and protect it, can you grow a harvest of His promises.”

“Our walk with God should be a magnet drawing others to the kingdom. Enticing them. Intriguing them. Making them ask questions about our faith and our God. Opening the door for us to testify to His goodness. God is glorified when His Word works. Why would He want us to fail? It’s not our failure that draws men to him. It’s our successful walk of faith that uplifts Christ. When Christ is lifted up, He will draw all men unto himself —John 12:32.”

“God prepared a table in the presence of my enemies. And that table attracted others who saw the power of God work in my favor and wanted to know more.”

“By meditating in the Word day and night we are nurturing the Word and giving it the right conditions to take root and begin to produce fruit in our lives. Only then will we be able to stand strong and come out victorious in every storm of life. Your bible is a book full of seeds. You have two choices. You can plant those seeds in your heart every day or place them (bibles) on the mantle for decoration. When I was working in my yard some days it seemed nothing was happening, but I knew the seeds were working beneath the ground.”

“God’s Word is a supernatural seed that brings forth miraculous results. However, if you don’t have a strong root system, you will not be able to sustain the growth that you are blessed with. God wants to bless you with “fruit that will remain” not fruit that will dry up and wither away. So He encourages us to abide in His Word. And we will develop a strong spiritual root system. One that will support every blessing He has for us and will continue to sustain us even in a drought.”

“My part was to keep trusting (watering), nourishing (confessing) and waiting for rain (God’s favor).”

“about to face the consequences of his actions and there was nothing his father or I could do to sway the outcome. We’d warned him that this day would come if he didn’t change his course. He had such a rebellious spirit. This time he was afraid and fear was keeping him close to home.”

“Maybe this was the blade and the effectual fervent prayers of a righteous mother were availing much.”

“We must be intimate with the Word so that we know the authentic from the counterfeit. Counterfeit blessings, like weeds, grow and try to take over. Continue your days, knowing in the promise of seed, harvest time will produce what you are believing for. There are many factors to consider when sowing the Word. Some of your seeds may be stolen away before they are given a chance to germinate. Therefore, you need the Word sown in your heart so solidly that the enemy couldn’t possibly steal away all of it. You will have begun the perpetual process of sowing and reaping the promises of God that continues to produce harvests, for all of your days on the earth.”

“When you sow the word, the enemy hears your prayers also. He knows what you’re asking for and he likes to play games by sending decoys. Our anxious impatience blinds us and that is when we mistake the enemy’s decoy for the Lord’s harvest. Just like Abram’s impatience for the child God promised him, you may not know when God will do what He promises. You don’t have to know. Just as you don’t have to know how the seed grows beneath the surface. You just have to have faith that God said so and it is.”

“Once we learn the promises, we have an obligation to lead others to show them how to be successful at sowing and reaping. Integrity is in short supply. People don’t always do what they say they will do. Sometimes we are tempted to project that onto God. We treat Him as if He were a man who may or may not keep His promises. However, the bible tells us, God is not a man that He should lie. Yet some of us approach His promises with the attitude, “maybe God will and maybe God won’t.” Anything you value, you protect. Here’s a tough question, Do you value God’s promises and are you thankful for the promises He’s already kept?”

“When the Lord blesses you with your harvest, those people who were flocking to discourage you will almost seem to disappear into thin air. You might hear a few murmurings of gossip, but not many of them will be able to be happy that you are blessed, so they won’t be swooping in to “check on you” anymore. God has a way of vindicating His children. He has way of closing their mouths. He will not be mocked!            Fear is like a weed. If allowed, it will grow and choke out the power, sound mind and love that God has given you.”

“So it goes with us. We are not natives of this world. So sometimes we are surrounded by the weeds of unbelievers who know how to get over on us, beat the system, claw their way to the top and trample on everything in their path. That is the way of the weed.”
― Lynn R. Davis, The Life-Changing Experience of Hearing God's Voice and Following His Divine Direction: The Fervent Prayers of a Warrior Mom

“What I learned about weeds is that they are native plants, meaning they have adapted and they know how to take from the ground what they need in order to survive. They take at the expense of other plants, flowers and foliage around them. Sucking up all of the surrounding nutrients and moisture for themselves.”

“Weeds have a way of choking out grass. Nevertheless, I was told that if I just kept up with the seeds, eventually the grass would take root and there would be more grass than weeds. And wouldn’t you know that’s exactly what happened? Once the grass took root and began to grow, I only noticed weeds here and there and I was able to deal with them one at a time by plucking them and removing them. You see, when your heart is filled with more Word than “as the world turns,” then you will begin to thrive. You will begin to be able to deal with the weeds of financial difficulty and relationship drama as they pop up. The Word in your heart will begin to choke out the weeds instead of the other way around.”

“In Genesis 22, Abraham believed by faith that God would provide a sacrifice on the mountain. He didn’t know how, but He knew two things. That God had promised to bless him through the seed of Isaac and that God never goes back on a promise. By faith, we believe God provides and we hold to the truth that He will not lie. That was the promise and I was determined to protect and nurture that seed until it grew.”

“When we try to create a blessing the way the world does, we create problems for ourselves. Whether its compromising on taxes, cheating on an exam or something else; when we operate this way we are allowing weeds to choke out God’s promise that he will supply all of our needs. The end result is stress and turmoil.            Often times we seek help from people when it’s God we should be seeking. The end result is that people get the praise and glory for our deliverance. There are times in our lives when God wants to show up mightily in lives; He doesn’t want to share the glory with someone else. But like Sarah, we doubt that God could possible work out our situation and we turn to friends and family when we should be turning to His promises.”

“Sometimes we pray for things, but when we get a negative report or a denial, we back off of what we were believing God for and we settle. Instead of believing you will receive your own business, you settle for a corner office. Or instead of believing you received debt freedom, you settle for living paycheck to paycheck. Instead of believing you received your healing when you prayed, you settle for being on medication or sitting in a wheel chair for the rest of your life. Stop settling for weeds!”

“had two choices, I could break down or break through. The fast had given me a renewed strength. I closed my eyes and whispered, They that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up on wings as eagles. They shall run and not get weary. They shall walk and not faint.”

“Lord guide my steps. Give me wisdom. I don’t want to do things my way. I want to follow your lead. I believe no weapon formed shall prosper. A thousand shall fall by my side ten thousand by my right hand but no foreclosure shall come near my home. This is the last night of my fast. I’m glad that I did it. I know that I have to depend on God. Only He can give me the guidance and support that I need right now.  Thank you Lord.”

“hearing a lot about the Holy Spirit and how our praying in the Spirit builds up our faith. It’s something I don’t do very often at all. I’m not even sure why I don’t. John 16:13 says the Holy Spirit will teach us all things. Acts 1:8 says and you shall receive power after the Holy Spirit comes upon you. I’m going to begin praying in the Spirit more consistently from today forward. Matter of fact tonight is a good night to start. Thank you Lord for today. Bless my son Lord keep him safe.”

“grab hold of your emotions and don’t let them run away with you.” Talk about great timing. Thank you Lord. God knows what we need and when we need it.  He’s talking about John 14:1! He says Jesus basically told the disciples, “don’t panic” don’t let unbelief in”  I read John 14:1 again Let not your heart be troubled, you believe in God, believe also in me. I have to pull it together and let not my heart be troubled. Lord give me strength.”

“The sermon was discussing how Satan gains access through envy and strife. And that when we allow strife access to wreak havoc in our lives. James 3:16. Everything we say or do is either giving the enemy access to destroy our lives or giving God access to bless us.”
