- How well do you know God's voice?
- and who's voice are you listening to?
- Knowing who God is and what He has said is critical for your spiritual life.
- In Genesis we have the story of Satan the deceiver, planted a seed of doubt in Eve's mind.
- The question and the response changed the course of human history.
- First she doubted the character of God.
- She began to think that God, their loving Creator and maker was holding something back from them.
- She begins doubt who God really is.
- That seed of doubt leads her to question what God has said and "hear" God's words wrong.
- She tells the serpent, that God said, "you must not eat fruit from the tree... And you must not touch it, or you will die.
- God never said anything about touching the fruit.
- Such a subtle difference, but that little difference made all the difference.
- She allows herself to listen to the voice of deceit.
- She begins to have wrong desires.
- Desires that are contrary to God.
- Her doubt, of who He really is, causes her to act.
- Her actions lead to sin
- That sin leads to death.
- Look at what James 1:14 says, "Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away. These desires give birth to sinful actions. And when sin is allowed to grow, it gives birth to death."
- Today, look at Gods Word, Know Gods Word, and Live out Gods Word!
- Listen to His Voice and know what He has said about you and to you.
- James 1:17, goes on to say, "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change..."
- Look at what James 1 goes on to say, in the next verse: "And it was of His own [free] will that He gave us birth [as sons] by [His] Word of Truth, so that we should be a kind of firstfruits of His creatures [a sample of what He created to be consecrated to Himself].”
- He speaks to your identity.
- He tells you who you are.
- You are sons and daughters of the most High King.
- You are Loved.
- You are adopted into the Family of God.
- You are consecrated to Him, meaning you are created by Him and for Him!
- He has good things in store for you!
- You are a child of God.
- You are set apart!
- Do you see what you get when you listen to his voice?
- Choose today to NOT question his character.
- He loves you!
- Settle that first in your heart and mind and then look at what He says.
- He will tell you your potential.
- Your potential is who He originally
Created you to be!
- You are set apart and a child of the Most High!
- “No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper" (Isaiah 54:17)
- You are an overcomer in Him!
- Listen to His Voice today and live out all that He has in store for you!
