Active Listener - 12/3/21

Active Listener

Hey Family, today and for the past few days I have been pondering the things that Lord has spoken to me in the past that have come to fruition and even the things that He has spoken to me more recently that have not yet come to fruition. All of them have and continue to require me to be an active listener in the Spirit. As the body of Christ it is crucial for us to be in step with the Spirit, so that we do not run on ahead or fall behind of our Heavenly Father's call or instruction.

Today's Prayer

"Dear Heavenly Father, You know more than anyone, the level of noise that we encounter on a day to day basis. In all honesty, at times it can be deafening. Lord, help us to drown out the noise from the world and tune in to Your voice above all else that we may walk boldly and blamelessly, before Your throne. In Jesus Christ's beautiful name we pray, Amen."

Scripture

The Call to Listen 

James 1:19‭-‬27

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do. Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
