What Is My Destiny?

You have a unique destiny.

If you don’t know what it is that you were made for, you need to find out. God has a unique plan for each of us, a plan that is more spectacular than you can imagine. He made you with skills and talents and dreams. Maybe you’ve stopped dreaming, but that doesn’t mean it’s not real. Think back to when you were young and life was still fresh. Was there something you really wanted to do? Is there still something? That silly dream you’d never tell anyone? Chances are, it’s something God put in you. How do you get there? Do you need to take classes? Let go of other stuff? Believe that God wants to make your dreams come true. Ask Him what you need to do to see it happen. No one can do the thing you were made for better than you.

How Do You Pray To A Trinity? Part Four

Do you even think about who the Holy Spirit is in your life? He is part of the Godhead. He is God in you. If you really cannot relate to him, you may have issues with your mother. The Holy Spirit is the Comforter, the One who literally wraps Himself around you to comfort you when you are hurting. He’s also the One who fills us with joy and peace. Talk to Him. Be quiet and listen to Him. He’s actually a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor. But He also knows our deepest pain. He will be the one you feel close by during the long, sleepless nights of agony. If you don’t have a relationship with Him, start now. He’s almost giddy at the thought of being friends with you.

Ever wonder who you should be praying to? God the Father, Jesus, the Holy Spirit? If you pick one, do you offend the other two? Who are you supposed to pray to? Does it say someplace in the Bible? Jesus said, if you’ve seen Me you’ve seen the Father. The Holy Spirit comes into our hearts when we become saved, so should we be talking to Him? There can be this private awkwardness when it comes to prayer, but I’m pretty sure that we don’t need to stress about it. God is well adjusted enough to not be offended how we pray. In fact, who we pray to can reveal our own need for healing.

What does God want you to pray?

I was trying to fall asleep one night when a name kept running through my head. It was the name of someone who’s been in the local news for weeks. I was sick of hearing it, but God said to pray for this man. I really wanted to go to sleep, but I sent up a quick prayer to ask God to bless the man and his marriage. God was not happy with that prayer, not because it was a bad prayer, but He wanted something else. He told me to pray for something completely different, something I never would have thought to ask for. I had to repent of being flippant with God’s request. He trusted me enough to put a situation He could move in into my hands and I wasn’t sensitive enough to realize it. I should have asked, how should I pray? I should have prayed according to His will. Not that God wouldn’t bless the man, but He had a more specific goal. Listen first, then pray.

How God Gets His Point Across

God uses anything to get our attention.

Some time ago, I was getting ready for church on a Sunday morning and I heard a bird singing right outside my bedroom. It was a bird I’ve never seen before and it had the most amazing song. I sat and listened to it for several minutes before it flew away. Then I went to church. Now, I sing from my soul and I’m not bothered by people around me. I love to sing worship songs. That day, someone sitting near me turned and said, “God said that you are His songbird.” I was blown away because I knew immediately why He sent that bird to my backyard. He wanted me to get the full impact of what He was telling me. It was a remarkable moment that I’ll never forget. How has God shown Himself to you?

Does God Talk To Children

God Talks To Children Too

You would be astonished at how clearly children hear from God. Once they have been trained to listen, by understanding the concepts described in How Can I Hear From God, they hear Him with remarkable clarity. It’s easy for them because they have not learned to doubt. They don’t have the years of negative teaching the most adults have to let go of. They pick up the ability with an almost casual ease. They are not afraid to recognize silly things as the voice of God where an adult would dismiss them.

There’s a sweetness to how children relate to God and I think that God is delighted by that. They take the concept of hearing God’s voice very seriously, and adults should too. They need to be taught the guidelines of speaking prophetically, but then they love it. Some of the most stunning prophetic words I’ve ever had were given to me by children.

Training children to hear God is the best way to ensure life and health to the future church. For excellent material on training children to hear God, check out http://www.iTreasures.org/.

God Is Talking All The Time

So you have your antenna up and you’re listening carefully and you think you heard something from God. What do you do with it? When Mary saw God doing things, she pondered them in her heart. Wise move. Think about what you heard. Chances are, He will confirm it through someone or something else. Be moderate about how you see Him talking. It’s easy to be extreme and see every single thing as a message where it is not. But when it is, pay attention. Learning to hear God speak to your personally opens up realms of understanding. He makes you feel special because He’s talking directly to you. Practice it. It’s ok to make mistakes, but the more you practice listening, the sharper your reception will be. Now, what’s He telling you today?
