When they were filled, he said unto his disciples, Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be lost. John 6:12 KJV
This is the point I see the Holy Spirit emphasizing for us today – he said unto his disciples.
- What has the Lord said to you?
- What is the instruction that you have received from the Lord?
Can you even hear the Lord at all? The Lord is speaking, are you listening?
- Is the word of the Lord audible to you?
- Is the word of the Lord even a priority to you?
- Did you hear the Lord speak quietly in your heart but you choose to ignore him?
The first and most valid way that the Lord speaks to us his through the scriptures – The bible
How much of the bible do you read, listen to, study, and meditate upon on a daily basis?
The preceding verses show that Jesus had been in conversations with the disciples. Can you imagine if they did not listen to his instructions about the young boy with the five loaves and two fish? What would have happened?
Similar to this was the instruction that Jesus gave in the marriage at Cana of Galilee. Jesus’ mother told the servants – “Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.” John 2:5 KJV
Your satisfaction in 2022 is hinged on what God has said or will say to you. The earlier you listen carefully and obey, the better for you. In the days of Eli, the bible says that there was no open vision. For hundreds of years in Israel at a certain time, the voice of the Lord was scarce. God was quiet. The Lord’s rebuke is far better than his silence towards you. When He is quiet, He is saying, do whatever you want! And that is too dangerous for words. I pray for you today that you will not incur God’s anger that will make him quiet towards you in Jesus’ name. Amen.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters: the God of glory thundereth: the Lord is upon many waters. The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars; yea, the Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf; Lebanon and Sirion like a young unicorn. Psalm 29:3-6 KJV
The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. Psalm 29:8 KJV
I declare by the word of the Lord tonight, The VOICE of the Lord into your life and situation will make a way where there seems to be no way in Jesus’ mighty name.
I pray that the VOICE OF THE LORD will bring that needed help, healing, deliverance for you and all yours in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen
Will you be willing to pray with me on what you just read?
Lord, from now on, I will hear, listen, and respond to your instructions for my life in Jesus’ name. I will not be dumb to your instructions in Jesus’ name. Father help me to be willing and obedient. I pray that the voice of the Lord will never be silent towards me in Jesus’ name. Dear Lord Jesus, may I not incur your anger in Jesus’ name. Amen.
