Yes, You CAN Hear from God ...

If you put God first and are still, quiet, and wait at His feet for His Word and Wisdom.

This is the song I was led to for this blog post. Click the link to listen --> Word of God Speak by Mercy Me 

As an example: this is the Word that I received from the Lord. Psalm 27, Psalm 90, Psalm 147. I accept His Will & His Way for my life. I lay it down for His use each day. Lord, help me to die to myself each moment of each day. I ask to be an Instrument in your hands, in whatever way you choose. I love you, Lord, with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength! Thank You, Abba, In Jesus name. Amen.


If you do not follow the Lord and hear His directions to you, the coming days of darkness will terrify you!

Maranatha,
Anna

Reference verses for the three Psalms given to me:

Psalm 27 (KJV)
1 The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.
3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.
4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.
6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto the Lord.
7 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, Lord, will I seek.
9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up.
11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.
12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.
13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Psalm 90 (KJV)
1 Lord, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
3 Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.

Psalm 147 (KJV)
1 Praise ye the Lord: for it is good to sing praises unto our God; for it is pleasant; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem: he gathereth together the outcasts of Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God:
8 Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.
11 The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.
13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; he hath blessed thy children within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders, and filleth thee with the finest of the wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his commandment upon earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, and the waters flow.
19 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel.
20 He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye the Lord.

ARE YOU LEAD BY YOUR EMOTIONS ...

OR ARE YOU LEAD BY GOD? DO YOU SAY POOR PITIFUL ME? OR DO YOU TAKE RESPONSIBILITY?


When life or people disappoint us, we have a responsibility to remain stable and continue with God's purpose for our lives.
Consider Psalm 94:12-13. Notice that it does not say that God keeps us calm. It says HE GIVES US POWER to keep ourselves calm. We are partners with God. DID YOU HEAR THAT??? His part is to give us ability and our part is to be responsible.
Let me scream that part...
OUR PART IS TO BE RESPONSIBLE!
Responsibility means 'to respond to the ability we have.' An irresponsible person wants God to do everything while he does nothing except follow his feelings. But don't let your feelings run the show. Declare out loud right now, "I have attended my last pity party." I can promise you: in the end you will feel much better about yourself if you take responsibility than if you avoid it.
God cares for you, but He won't do your part. He enables you to do it, but let me emphasize that He won't do it for you! HE WON'T DO IT FOR YOU PEOPLE! I dare you to stand firm, take responsibility and begin working with God to have the blessed life He's planned for you.
It says in Psalm 94:12-13...
"Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law; you grant them relief from days of trouble, till a pit is dug for the wicked."
God, Your Word says that You've given me the ability to remain calm. I receive that today. I won't let my feelings run my life, and I will be responsible and respond the way You want me to.

Background for this Word of Wisdom:
'Had me an awesome 2:30am/can’t sleep talk with God study!! Sooo here ya go..." 
This was given to Shona Warren and she gave me permission to share this awesome Word. God's Word does not return to him void but accomplishes what He plans for it to do Isaiah 55:11. Thank you, Shona, for being obedient, for being humble, and for having listening ears and a loving heart for God!

In Humble Obedience,
Anna

6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

Money
Ezekiel 7:19 They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

Stay Focused ...

and remain in the Father's will for you! Please remember, to live victoriously ... never give up!              
No matter how my life is going - some days good / some days bad - I find that if I stop a moment, think on positive things, my attitude will improve. Yesterday was one of those days - but I didn't stop - I don't think I even slowed down in my thought process. Instead, I just kept flowing and wallowing in the 'river of despondency' which, trust me on this, has a distinct odor! It isn't pleasing - to me, to others, and especially not to the Lord!

What am I doing differently today? I am looking for the positives and not focusing on the negatives. If a thought comes along that could bring me down - I refuse to dwell on it. Instead, I give it to God and ask for a replacement thought  - from Him! I want to walk the path He has for me and the JOY of the LORD is my strength! I ask Holy Spirit to bring scriptures to my mind that will firm up my foundation with The Word. So many come to mind at that point. You know, I don't have very many scriptures memorized, but I am glad Holy Spirit gives them to me. So here is a paraphrased list of what I have heard in my spirit today:
This is an ongoing conversation, so yes there are others and there will be others as the day progresses. One of the things I have been taught - and am still learning - is to be consistent in my walk and in my prayer life. Am I successful in this every day? Sadly, no, but I won't stay there. I won't stay down. I raise my hand and ask God to take hold of me and please pull me up!
If you find yourself down today. Despondent. Fearful. Speaking Words of death more than Words of LIFE ... I encourage you to turn to the author and finisher of our Faith! His everlasting love will bring the sunshine into an otherwise gloomy day! He promised never to leave us or forsake us! God is not a liar!!!

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Trust in the Lord always,
Anna

Depend on God: Moment-by-Moment

We grow in FAITH through surrendering our will and our way to God: learning to depend upon Him each moment of the day and night. 

How many times have you prayed to Father stating what you want 'to have' or 'to have done' ... without giving a moment's thought to what is God's Will and what would He direct you to do? This is a major difference between childish faith and childlike faith. Childish is immature, self-seeking, demanding where Childlike is innocent, trusting, depending totally on Father in all things.


I recommend that you take some time to sit quietly and honestly at the Lord's feet and ask Holy Spirit to shine His light upon your heart and mind. Anything illuminated that should be eliminated can be quickly taken care of there. If we have learned and are receptive to Christ speaking His rhēma-word within to impart faith, this will become easier and easier to do. Romans 8:16-17 and Romans 10:17 "So faith proceeds from (spiritual) hearing; moreover this hearing (is consummated) through a rhēma-word (4487 /rhḗma) from Christ" (Gk text).

Teknon - Greek - Strong's 5043
5043 téknon – properly, a child; (figuratively) anyone living in full dependence on the heavenly Father, i.e. fully (willingly) relying upon the Lord in glad submission. This prompts God to transform them into His likeness. 
5043 /téknon ("a child living in willing dependence") illustrates how we must all live in utter dependence upon the Lord (moment-by-moment), drawing guidance (care, nurture) from our heavenly Father. 5043 (téknon) emphasizes the childlike (not childish) attitude of heart that willingly (gladly) submits to the Father's plan. We profoundly learn this as we are receptive to Christ speaking His rhēma-word within to impart faith (cf. Ro 8:16,17 with Ro 10:17, Gk text).
 Difference Between Childish and Childlike
Although the words childish and childlike appear similar to one another, these two words show a difference between them as they have completely different meanings. Being childish is when a grown up displays silly and immature behavior. For example, when a person displays irrational fears for his age, we often say ‘don’t be so childish.’ Childlike, on the other hand, refers to being simple and innocent. Through this article, let us examine the difference between childish and childlike.
Galations 4:1 Christ the anointed one and His anointing.
Ephesians 2:18 Abba, Father, Deeper into the love of God. Through Him we have access by one Spirit unto the Father.
Ephesians 2:18-22 (Habitation not visitation) Faith is simply knowing God. I am a temple of God. His dwelling place.

It is past time to stop blaming others for decisions we have made or will make when we didn't ask God about it in the first place!

Maranatha,
Anna
