Today's "Faith Food" by Kenneth E. Hagin has always been one of my favorites!
What My Heart Says
But you shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is He that gives thee power to get wealth" (Deut. 8:18).
I knew a man down in East Texas whose family was so poor that he didn't have a pair of shoes until he was 12 years old. He had only a fifth grade education. But way back when money was money, he ended up with two million dollars. He made his money in investments.
Two people who had been frequent guests in his home told me that he had said, "In many years of investing, I've never lost a dime." Here's how he did it.
He told my friend, "When someone comes with an idea and wants me to invest in something, my first reaction is mental. So I have a big closet I go into and pray about it. I wait long enough to hear what my spirit says.
"My head may say, 'You'd be a fool to invest in that,' but if my heart says, 'Go ahead,' I do. Or, my head may say, 'You'd better get in on this one,' while my heart tells me, 'Don't do it.' So I don't. I don't pay any attention to my head. I just get in that closet and wait - all night sometimes. And sometimes I'm in and out of it for three days, just praying and reading my Bible, getting quiet so I can hear what my heart says."
Confession: The Holy Spirit guides me in all the affairs of life. And I listen to what my heart says!
AMEN! There really are no shortcuts for serving the LORD with results! When we begin to develop our very own intimate fellowship with Holy Spirit, HE will lead and guide us into all of the Truth that is necessary for us to stand strong on the Word of God! Make the adjustments that are needful for YOU to have and maintain that intimate fellowship with HIM that will cause you to be set free in every area and to move on in faith, trust and confidence!
