PART TWO OF HEARING, EMBRACING AND OBEYING THE PROPHETIC VOICE OF THE WORD OF GOD!



Copyright by Dr. William Valmyr

Are you hearing the voice of God speaking to you through His Word? As I stated yesterday, “Discerning the voice of God in the midst of a plethora of opinions is the essence of biblical discernment. Christians do not live their lives according to the voice of public opinions or political polls but the authentic Christians live their lives according to the principles and precepts of the Word of God.”  I am often reminded of the power of the Word of God in changing and transforming the human soul (mind, will, and emotions). There is a battle for the minds and souls of human beings (God’s creation)—particularly the souls of Christians in our world. The Bible speaks clearly about the reality of this battle and what we can do as Christians to win the war being fought for our souls.  God has given us the tools necessary to win the war of ideologies.

Embracing the Word of God

Upon hearing the Word of the Lord concerning any issue in our lives, it is incumbent upon us to embrace the will of God. As Christians, we need to wrap our minds and hearts with the Word of God. Our victory can be only precipitated by the prophetic power of the Word of God but because God’s Word has the ability to expose the shallowness in our hearts. The Apostle Paul says that a fresh word from God speaks to our hearts with power and precision by “...penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and [the immortal] spirit, and of joints and marrow [of the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12 Amplified)

Beloved, if you desire to see the manifestation of the power of God in your life, you must embrace His infallible Word. Your transformation is made possible only through the ministry of the prophetic Word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:19-21). Our hope is in the Lord’s promises and in the power of the Holy Spirit to activate the prophetic Word in our lives.  I am praying for you and I hope that you can grasp God's Word for your life! Amen!
