“12 For
the Word that God speaks is alive and full of power [making it active,
operative, energizing, and effective]; it is sharper than any two-edged sword,
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.13 And
not a creature exists that is concealed from His sight, but all things are open
and exposed, naked and defenseless to the eyes of Him
with Whom we have to do.” (Hebrews 4:12-13, The Amplified)
Something
exciting is happening in heaven, as God is moving and preparing His people for
a supernatural outpouring of His Holy Spirit, for the end time harvest of souls
and for the return of the Lord. Christians are becoming dissatisfied with the
postures of religion and spiritual apathy: condemning them, critiquing them,
and becoming more proactive about their spiritual growth. More and more, we want
to be people who cultivate a heart for the prophetic, people who tend and keep
what is all together righteous before God. The remnant who believe in the
Lordship of Jesus Christ over all things, want to be people who love the Word
and people that move the horizons of the possible in places as wide as the
world and as small as a home.
The
Need to Sharpen our Spiritual Ears!
There
are many voices, speaking to our spirit today. Amongst them are the voices of
reason, the voice of fear, the voice of satan, the voice of the unregenerated soul,
the voice of personal ambitions and the voice of God. 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. Jesus modeled this concept in Luke 4:1-4 when
the devil tempted Him to turn a stone into bread, knowing that He had not eaten
nothing and fasted for 40 days in the wilderness. During this temptation Jesus
answered the devil saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word of God.” (Luke 1:4, NKJV)
Friends,
if our Lord depended upon the Word of God to sustain Him when He faced
temptations, how much more do we need to do the same? I urge you have ears to
hear what the Lord is saying to us today. Seek to hear God’s voice for your
situation, get the wisdom of His Word, and in all your getting, get understanding
(Proverbs 4:7-9). It is my prayer that you are hearing the prophetic voice of
God’s Word over your life. You are not an accident; God has a purpose and a
plan for your life. God loves you, I love you and I am praying for your
spiritual ears to be attentive to the prophetic voice of the Word of God. Grace
and peace!
