Hearing God’s Voice
If you are having trouble hearing God's voice, consider the message found in these two quotes:“We live in a noisy, busy world. Silence and solitude are not 20th Century words. They fit the era of Victorian lace and high-buttoned shoes and kerosene lamps better than the age of television, video arcades, internet, and jogger’s wired earphones. We have become a people with an aversion to quite and an uneasiness with being alone.” Jean Fleming Finding Focus in a Whirlwind World"I think that the devil has made it his business to monopolize on three elements: noise, hurry, and crowd. Satan is...
The Longing of the Holy Spirit
“Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts:all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me.” Psalm 42:7 Let's be honest. The Spirit of God doesn't need a thing from us.
