Can You Hear the Lord's Voice?

Many years ago I thought there was something spiritually wrong with me because I didn't hear God speak to me.  You know what I'm talking about....when you hear people say, "God told me this." "Or the Lord put it on my heart to do that." 

The Bible talks about the sheep knowing the Shepherd's voice. 

"My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.  John 10:27

We, as children of God, are obviously the little ewe lambs and the Lord is our Shepherd, right?  Well what happens when the little lambs don't know what the Shepherd's voice sounds like?  

When Your Life is a Mess and You Don't Know What to Do

Welcome back to The Power of the Holy Spirit Series!  If you’re new here, then I encourage you to take the time to read the first two posts in this series, My Burning Bush Experience and How Often Do You See Your Best Friend?  

Sometimes life is a big fat mess and we just don't know what to do or where to turn. I've been there, my friend!  But today I wanted to share with you how to grow in your biblical understanding so you can navigate through this world and make the right decisions.  And one of the things that's needed to make wise choices is hearing the Lord and growing in your faith. But first I wanted to give you a glimpse into where my spiritual journey began.

I didn't know a whole lot of Truth, (the Bible) when I was a new believer.  I wasn't raised with learning the Scriptures and seeking the Lord.  When I got saved at 26 yrs. old, I spent the next 15 months of my walk alone.  Outside of my Pastor teaching from the pulpit, I didn't have anyone in the flesh teaching me how to navigate the Christian life, however, Jesus was always with me!

During the first 6 months of my new found life in Christ I went from church to church to church hearing how Jesus loved me and died for my sins.  While I appreciated hearing this important truth, I needed more instruction.  I needed to be equipped so I could walk through this life in a Godly way.  And although I read my Bible from cover to cover during that time I'm sure I didn't understand even half of what I read!

How Often Do You See Your Best Friend?

I'm holding something sacred in my heart and somehow I need to get His words across to you, dear reader, making sure I'm representing Him and Him alone.  Oh how I long to share with you about my BFF (best friend forever); Who He is, His power, His understanding, and His wisdom, and I want to do so in such a way that you can clearly see Him even though He is, well..... invisible!

If you're joining me for the first time, I'm currently writing a series on The Power of the Holy Spirit, and let me just say right now that I'm not worthy to pen any of these words. But my heart is heavy for you to know Him more and to experience Him more abundantly so that's why I'm sharing this with you.  And if you've missed the first post, My Burning Bush Experience, you can read it here.

My Burning Bush Experience

Jesus.....

You're all I want.

You're all I need.

You're everything.

Oh how I wish I can dwell on those words every minute of the day because when I do, my spirit absolutely soars and I'm ushered into the presence of God.  And when that happens I just see life so differently.  

In fact, I experience...

• No family concerns.  
• No physical exhaustion.  
• No fear of the future.  
• No broken relationships.
• No insecurities or feelings of rejection.  
• No worries.  
• Nope.  Nada.  None of the above, because it's just me resting in my sweet Savior!
