Following your first “Mind”…Part two
I called this post “the first mind” because that’s what the old people used to call the voice of G-d. They understood that G-d speaks first and then the enemy comes to try to get us to reason our decision out. From my experience His voice is not to be reasoned with. It won’t always make sense or feel good to the flesh. It requires trusting Him to move forward. Flesh decisions tend to feel good but the consequences won’t. If you make the wrong move, G-d won’t just stop talking to you about it. He doesn’t condemn us, but you don’t feel good in that error and if you refuse His instruction, he’ll cut some things down—your finances tend to be the first thing to go. With the finances, go the peace, eventually. You can make it a few months, but eventually, you’ll tire. Anyone who’s been there—can testify to that.
Missing Him has made quite a difference in my life. But I understand that the lessons I gleaned from this experience are a part of my ministry. I always thank G-d that I was attached to my SF because I had never been taught on G-ds voice in all my time in church and I was missing Him on quite a few things. While my cousin belonged to a nice church, he hadn’t been taught that either. Often I think most of us are waiting on those biblical experiences, the burning bush, angelic visitation, Moses and Elijah in the middle of the night. Some people get the angels—but most of us get the small, still voice. We are trained in it before we fully get it all the time. While we are immature, G-d is gracious enough to send people, to have some preach a word, write a message, send an e-mail devotional until we understand better.
Nor did I even know that all the times I thought I was thinking selfishly about delivering myself and then reasoned myself into continuing in it, that G-d was trying to tell me it was okay and to go forward. It wasn’t that I wasn’t spending time with G-d or even reading His word, but I was surrounded by people who told me G-d would never tell me that and that the enemy was trying to trick me. Their tradition and my immaturity has cost me years of my life. When I found my SF, I thank G–d that he was a prophet who could echo what G-d was saying to me personally so I could grow out of spiritual immaturity in that area. The word says that how can we hear without a preacher---Romans 10:14. It also tells us to take heed in how we hear. Everybody can’t preach to me. I continue to catch broadcasts. Even all the way here they continue to bless and often cut me at the same time. If he’s echoing what G-d is already dealing with me about, I know that I am definitely on G-ds mind. I need to know that. When it comes to G-d I am as needy as a little child.
I can not stress to you how important daily quality time with G-d is nor can how important it is to be more grounded in spiritual things than anything else. Spiritual maturity makes all the difference in our day to day lives as well as how we parent, interact with others and understand our covenant promises as it relates to him as our Father. Hearing Him can be a matter of life and death or the pouring out of a blessing that we wouldn’t have the room to receive. Either way, we can’t afford to miss Him.
As always, Be Blessed. Chosen.
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2
