Today’s Living Word – Hear My Voice

5–8 minutes

(This message is TO the disobedient, so please read it with that filter and perhaps only a part of the message is applicable to you).

God speaks prophecy to the disobedient:

I say HEAR MY VOICE this day, all who sleep in the day when they should be working, all who sit idle when they should be heralding forth my words, all you who rebuke the voice of my prophets and those who are faithful to obey me. Hearken now my beloved and disobedient children!

This is a cry for you to repent and to turn from the slumber and darkness you are sitting in. Leave the ways of slothfulness and blatant disregard for my word to you. When you have heard me and obeyed in the past, all goes well. But I am seeking your attention now, in this crucial time, and you hear not. Turn to me your LIVING God! Turn off all that is in your way and leave the voices of disdain for your brethren behind. Now is the time for change, so come to me and change all.

If “that’s how we have always done it” comes to mind – don’t. If you feel you have not heard it that way before – good! Wake up now my people. Awake to righteousness and sin not! Do not do those things that bring sorrow. Do not condemn those who have been courageous to step forward in faith. Build unity and love in my house and rebuke all whispers of condemnation and accusation, for they are NOT of me. Now is the time for you to bind up the wounds of the past and receive my healing now. Receive all health and wholeness in your minds, bodies and spirits. Many are afflicted by evil and many sleep because of the lack of understanding in my church.

Rise up from your sleep and pray that I will forgive you in Christ your savior. For he has paid for those sins of disobedience. Be in him and be washed clean of your wicked ways. Turn toward me my sweet children and take off the filthy rags of evil you have been wearing. They are a stench in my nostrils. I cannot bear to see you bite and devour one another and to aid the evil ones in causing division. Turn now, while it is day, for the night comes swiftly and the reward for obedience will pass with the diming light. Last call.

Today’s Written Word

Disobedient: apeithēs = G545, unpersuadable, not compliant, disobedient, contumacious (stubbornly or willfully disobedient)

Timothy 1:16

They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Titus 3:3 For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving  divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and  hating one another.

John 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (living is zao, which is alive, breathing, vital, fresh, flowing, powerful, efficacious.

Acts 14:15 And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein:

II Corinthians 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.

I Corinthians 15:33,34 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.

Ephesians 5: 13-15

But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.

See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,

A Word of Encouragement

This is a strong Word of correction to those who are refusing to hear God, or to hear those who speak His words. We can read and re-read each line to examine our own personal walk with Him and evaluate whether these Words apply. Let’s not be hearers only but doers of the Word of God. He chastens His children for our good. Several parts of this prophecy really stood out to me. One is the reference to time. He has spoken many times in the past several months about this being the time of correction, that the darkness is at the door, and that our window to hear and obey is closing. Today, He said “Hear my voice this day, seek me now, turn to me now, and receive healing now, for the reward of obedience will pass with the diming light”. (my editing out some words). Let’s hear God, be close to Him and in His will today, while we can receive his rewards for obedience. John 20:29b, blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

An Action Item

In I Cor. 15:34 the word AWAKE is the Greek word “eknēphō = meaning to return one’s self to being sober; to rouse oneself out of stupor”. How do we become sedated spiritually? By doing what God just corrected: being quiet instead of heralding for His word, by allowing or promoting division, by refusing to hear those who speak His words to us, by wearing filthy rags (garments soiled in treachery or deceit). We throw off all that is unclean to God.

We can turn to God, turn to his Word, turn to obey Him in all areas of our lives. As we read and listen to His Word we can live it more completely, more fully and grow more close to Him in all decisions of life. Let us all repent today for any evil we have done.

Victories and Blessings

Getting spiritually awakened and changing for the better is an ongoing challenge that we overcome with God’s love. Having healthy bodies and minds is also a process of weeding out the bad and adding in the good. Today I was reminded of the great healing benefits of castor oil. It is good for healing SOOOOO many things. Please do some reading and buy the organic, cold pressed, hexane free products for the most benefit. Praise God for he is good!

Please share some of your victories, blessings and prayer requests so others can rejoice and believe with you.
