Shalom,
Today I want to share with you from Kenneth and Gloria Copeland's "From Faith To Faith" devotional. This is SO good!
His Still Small Voice
But the anointing which ye have
received of [God] abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but
as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth. 1 John 2:27
Have you ever noticed that you are
sometimes aware of certain things even before you know what the Word says about
them? That’s because the Holy Spirit is inside you teaching you the truth. He
speaks into your spirit. Then your spirit relays His promptings to your mind.
Suddenly, you’ll have a new thought. I need to forgive that person, you’ll
think, or I need to stop saying those unkind things.
As you become more aware of the
Spirit of God in your everyday affairs, you’ll be quicker to hear and obey
those promptings. You’ll actually get in the habit of allowing the
Spirit of Truth to reveal the will of God to you. And, believe me, that’s one habit
God wants you to have!
One of the first things that the
Spirit said to me when I began to listen to His promptings was, Spend more
time in prayer. As I obeyed, I began to be impressed to spend at least one
hour a day in prayer. After I’d begun to do that, He revealed it to me in His
Word (Matthew 26:40).
Since then, I have talked with people
from all over the world who are hearing the same thing. Believers everywhere
are hearing the Spirit of God direct them to more prayer.
God hasn’t given the Holy Spirit to
just a few special Christians. He’s given Him to all of us. And if we’ll just
learn to be sensitive to His voice, He’ll guide us into all truth!
Think about how different your life
would be if you knew the truth of God about every situation! Doesn’t that just
make you want to listen to your spirit? Doesn’t it make you want to be on the
keen edge of what God is saying?
Start tuning your ear to His still,
small voice within you. Honor Him and welcome His guidance into your everyday
affairs. Listen for His promptings and be quick to obey. He’s ready to speak to
you.
I have had this happen to me so many times! I have known something inside that I had enver learned before, thenI will see it in the Word later! THAT is how very close our consistent fellowship with Holy Spirit Who lives IN us can and should be! I hope that YOU will cultivate this intimacy with HIM! Your life will never be the same!

Shalom in Him!
