When we follow the voice of the Lord our God, all HIS blessings will come on us and overtake us

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...

When we are born again by the Spirit of God, we then have the Holy Spirit living in us to lead us and guide us and to show us the way we are to go in the specific issues of this present life that we may go in the will of God for us in this life.  (Jn. 14:26;  Jn. 16:13;  I Cor. 2)

 

God leads us by HIS Spirit.  God gives us information as we need help.  God shows us what to do.

 

"How?"  you might ask.  

 

God simply brings thoughts to our mind, ideas, scriptures, concepts to show us what to do.

 

"I am the way," says Jesus.  

 

The Word is the way.

 

As those thoughts from God come to our mind, that is "The Word" to us at that point in time.  As we follow that Word that is from God we are blessed by God.

 

March 2020, the Coronavirus raged in the USA.  Businesses closed.  All sporting events were cancelled.  Everything shut down.  Never before had we witnessed anything like this!  And it was all over this world.

 

I had a special problem.  My house in Texas had been on the real estate market for the past 1-1/2 years.  How can I expect it to sell when people all around are terrified over the Coronavirus? 

 

I turned to God asking God this question:  "Is there any thing I should do about that house in Texas."

 

Instantly the Holy Spirit of God brought the following to my mind:  "Put the house on a special sale for 1 week and lower the price."  

 

I called my realtor immediately and told her to do this.

 

The house sold in 2 days.

 

Deuteronomy 28:1-2  And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all HIS commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.

 

Today God speaks to us, HIS children, by HIS Holy Spirit who lives in us.  The Holy Spirit brings ideas from God to our mind.  When we do those things, the blessings of God come upon us and "overtake" us.

 

It is that simple:  Hearing the voice of God as brought to us by the Holy Spirit in the form of those thoughts that come to our mind.

 

And we know the voice of God because it is "pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."

 

Do you hear the voice of God?  Do you follow the ideas sent to you by God?

 

If you are born again, changed by God into a new creation, you can follow the Spirit of God for HE is in you.

 

God's yoke is easy.  HIS burden is light.  (Mt. 11:30)

 

If the idea is difficult, complex, overly expensive, I always know I have not heard from God.
