We will discern the voice and leading of the Living God by the power of His Holy Spirit over and above the dead voices that try to drown Him out. It matters what voice you give attention and power to. God’s still small voice will bring love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control, as promised in Galatians 5:22.
May we never underestimate the power in His voice.
How sweet is the fruit His voice and His Holy Spirit produces in our lives, opposed to the dead internal voices of our emotions, intellect, will & then there are the external voices… The texts, emails, social media and demands bombarding from every direction; screaming for our distraction and attention. Their fruit is comparison, competition, conflict, confusion, inadequacy, jealousy, anxiety, stress and strife!
There are nine gifts of the Holy Spirit depicted in 2 Corinthians 12:8-10: wisdom, knowledge, miracles, healing, faith, prophesy, distinguishing of spirits, speaking in tongues, interpretation of tongues. There are gifts within you that God is about to release through you in this hour that have been dormant, and in some cases, you had no idea they were there. Receive them, step out in faith and use them, they are God’s heavenly gift to you and His mandate over your life. Remember the number nine (9) also means Harvest.
