Word From God

A Word from God changes lives. It sparks a hope that was lost.  His words deposit strength when we've come to the end of ourselves. 

When God speaks to us, I find the most common ways are through a still, small voice inside our spirit man, through the voice of another person, and through the written Word of God.  Whatever the source of the "voice" - it's important to remember it will ALWAYS line up with the Scriptures. Anything contradictory to what the Bible says is not from God. 

If the words you are hearing or the thoughts that are dancing in your head are that of condemnation and without hope, you are NOT hearing the voice of God.  God will convict you of things you need to deal with in your life, but He will not leave you without a way of escape.  God's words will bring life. They will bring life to your weary soul, bring life to your hopeless situation, and will strengthen you to keep pressing on.  (2 Corinthians 12:9, John 6:63, Psalm 62:5, Psalm 119:16, Jeremiah 29:11, John 10:10, Philippians 4:13, Galatians 6:9)

“Don’t be afraid,” He said, “For you are very precious to God. Peace! Be encouraged! Be strong!” As He spoke these words to me, I suddenly felt stronger and said to Him, “Please speak to me, my Lord, for you have strengthened me.” Daniel 10:19

Lord, speak to us... deposit Your hope, Your life, and Your strength within us today...
