They That Do Hear My
Voice Shall Live
By Pastor Jeff Arnold, Gainesville, FL
When
we read the Bible we come across the truth that THE VOICE OF GOD is so
full of LIFE AND POWER, plus the Word of God is HIS VOICE in written form.
We are told that FAITH cometh by hearing, but I am convinced it can ALSO
LEAVE BY HEARING. We are often told to be careful about friends,
associates and those that we allow TO SPEAK INTO OUR LIVES. An
entire nation was sent on a 40-year trip over some of the VOICES of people
who TALKED FEAR AND DOUBT. Every Miracle is simply PROOF of the LOVE
OF GOD; we should not think it unusual to have them occur, rather, strange
when they are absent. Miracles are EVIDENCE that God is now among us
and working, which should be normal.
When
we announce that the
KINGDOM
OF
GOD
is now among us, like in the past, MIRACLES should be happening, for God
wants us to demonstrate THE KINGDOM WITH POWER. We, too, can make
the WORK OF God of no effect by our TRADITIONS, and frustrate THE GRACE OF
GOD by offering people GOOD ADVICE AND NOT GOOD NEWS. ONE is just
Words of direction—advice over something, but GOOD NEWS is a powerful
action by the SPIRIT in a person’s life that accomplishes Victory in an
area of their life. I know I have been proclaiming HEALING, SIGNS,
AND WONDERS for a long time, but without doing this, Miracles will not
happen, FOR FAITH COMES FROM THE WORD. If we desire to REAP THE
FRUIT OF FAITH we must SOW THE SEEDS OF FAITH, for a harvest occurs when
SOWING is done. The promises of GOD are LIFE TO THEM THAT FIND THEM, AND
HEALTH TO ALL THEIR FLESH…what part of this don't we understand?
We
must FIGHT fear, unbelief, and things that we don't understand, for we all
look through a glass darkly now. The WORD is HIS VOICE. Act like HE IS
TALKING TO YOU AND JUST DO WHAT HE TELLS YOU, BELIEVING AND EXPECTING HIM
TO DO ALL HE HAS SAID. BELIEVE, PONDER, SPEAK, AND ACT upon HIS WORD
and God will fulfill them in your life, for HE CANNOT DENY HIMSELF.
