...saying to me?
notes...
Surprise
God says something in a very special way
Personal
God what are you saying to me?
Specific
Read the Bible with God's message to you in mind
Encouragement
He gives you words of encouragement
because He knows you need it
He wants you to listen
He wants you to believe He speaks to you
Serious
He wants you to understand when He's speaking to you
He can speak to you anytime
oftentimes you're not listening
Listen to Him because He has something to say
to you
He knows exactly how to get your attention
He wants the best for you
He will guide you
When God says this is what I'm going to do
you don't change God's mind
Frightening
When He tells you to do anything
He assists you.
You don't live by your feelings
you live by the truth
He will be clear enough that you'll understand
what He requires of you
Learn to talk to God
Learn to listen to God
Step-by-step
He will speak clearly
He will never tell you to do something that He
doesn't have a reason, purpose, or goal
Obey Him in the simple things
Trust Him no matter what
Watch Him work
He loves you
be well...

'Unforgiveness. A source of a great deal of conflict
and stress in your relationships.
Examine your heart.
Check to see..
*If you secretly hope someone gets what they deserve.
* Talk negatively about anyone to others.
*Indulge in fantasies of revenge-even seemingly harmless ones.
*Spend time mulling over what others have done to you.
*How do you feel when something good happens to a person who has wronged you?
* Do you blame anyone for how your life has turned out?
Do you find it difficult to be open & trusting with people?
*Are you frequently angry, depressed, or bitter?
*Do you find it difficult to thank God for anything that happened in your life?
If any of these is true for you, you may be harboring resentment.
Confess any unforgiveness to Him.
Lord, help me forgive wholeheartedly,
just as you have forgiven me.
Help me to forgive others and to honor You.
Amen.'
(source: Charles Stanley Every Day in His Presence)
