Yom Shishi, Shevat 4, 6003 – January 11, 2019
Listening?
This morning as I await the sun, I have to wonder how we know if we are listening? What is involved in listening? If we hear something negative that goes against what we believe, is it from God? Is it the enemy, just because it is negative? If everything that does not line up with what we believe is from the dark side, how does God ever let us know that we need to make a course correction? Perhaps there is an answer in scripture.
John 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
As believers, we should only hear the voice of God. Unfortunately, most of us would have to admit that we hear more than the voice of God. Perhaps if we will weep at the thought of that, and spend time crying out to God, we will learn to hear only the one voice, and not know the voice of another.
Prayer
Father, we exalt You. You alone are our King. You alone are our King. Praise the name YAH! Let Your will be done here perfectly as it is in the heavens as Your kingdom comes in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people, YAH. Send us Your provision. Forgive us our trespasses and transgressions, and help us all to forgive those that have trespassed or transgressed against us. Wipe away all thoughts of evil done to us or by us. In their place let there be only thoughts and memories of You and Your love for us. We ask all these things of You, Father. Restore unto Your people one thousandfold all the good that has been taken or held back in any way from Your people, and the more besides. Send in quickly the $423,523,962.53 that we might use it to promote the kingdom of God in the hearts and minds and bodies of the people. We ask all these things of You Father, in the name YAH Yeshuah HaMoshiach. Amen.
