All through the Bible we see men and women who have a divine conversation with God, that changes their lives forever. Mary had a divine conversation, and ended up pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Abraham had a divine conversation, and ended up a father at 100 years old. Then, because of listening to another instruction given to him in a divine conversation, was spared killing that same son.
Conversations are life changers, or at least can be. Conversations can bring you favor, or death, depending on the instructions given, and whether they are obeyed or disobeyed. Naaman had a divine conversation, and almost lost his healing by not obeying the Word of the Lord spoken through the prophet. Thank God for a little hand maiden, who offered a word of wisdom that changed his mind. For when he dipped in the Jordan 7 times he was cleansed from his leprosy. Leprosy is symbolic on sin. The power of sin is broken in our lives when we submit our will, to the will of God.

The instruction you obey will determine the blessings you receive. Obedience is a choice.
Following instruction given by those God places in our life, show God our Father honor. Our life is the result of how we respond to God’s instruction.
- Naaman dipped in the Jordan 7 times after (his wife’s little handmaiden used wisdom as to how to get Naaman to obey the prophet Elisha) 2 Kings 5:10
- In 1 Kings 17:12 we find obedience, took a woman from lack, to enough to last through a famine. And I read: “And she said, As the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but a handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
- What we focus on, is what we get. Elisha focused on the Mantle, and when Elijah went up, Elisha got the mantle. He got the double he asked for.
Following instruction given by those God places in our life, show God our Father honor. Our life is the result of how we respond to God’s instruction.
When we learn to obey God because we love Him everything changes. Change is a choice.
Action Step: What was the last thing God told you to do? Who was the last person you listened to? When God wants to speak to you, He sends a person into your life. What you and I do with what we hear, is up to us. We have what we pursue.
