ASK
THE QUESTIONS!
Hey
gang! I have a few thoughts for us to dwell on this month. Too often we have a
tendency to think about our relationship with the Lord in almost abstract
terms. He's in heaven and we are here on earth. He is God and we are just
human. He is almighty and we are frail at best.
What would happen if we started asking God
and ourselves some straightforward questions? Do think that God won't hear you
or answer you? Because that is the reason that so many Christians fail to talk
to Father.
It's easy.
Star by asking Jesus this question. "Do you love me? Now just take a few
minutes and give Him time to respond. I can already sense some of you saying,
"Is this guy nuts?" Go ahead ask Him and I am certain that He
will answer. Expect the answer in the deep inner part of your Spirit. If you'll
listen, You'll hear Him say, "Yes I do love you."
Now ask yourself, "Do I love Him as much as I have always thought. Or
could I love Him more? Is He my source for Life and strength? Now ask
yourself, "Do I have a vital living relationship with Him? I trust that
your answer for every question that we have looked at is a great big
YES!!!!!!!!
Now turn your thoughts to the third person of the
Trinity, the Holy Spirit and ask Him, Will you help me know Jesus in a deeper
way than I have ever known Him before? Again, I can tell you for
certain that the answer will be yes. One of the main works of the Holy
Spirit is to make certain that we know and Love Jesus with every fiber of our
being. He also desires to lead you into a deeper understanding of all that
Jesus wants to be in your life.
And all we have to do is take the time to really ask the Lord some simple
questions. Are you ready? Start today and ask the Lord all of these question
and as many more as you can think of. He’ll always answer you. You just have to
develop such an intimate relationship with Him that you'll know His voice.
Jesus said, "My sheep know my voice." But we often get too busy with
life to take the time to hear it. Slow down and hear His voice.
Let's close with two scriptures. Remember, take the time to listen fro and hear
His voice. Ask the right questions, and you'll always get a great answer.
John
10:27-28 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they
follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish,
neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
John
16:13-14 "However, when He, the Spirit of truth,
has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own
authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to
come. "He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and
declare it to you.
