21 Days Prayer & Fasting "Alive in Culture"নমুনা

WHEN GOD SPEAKS


We live in an era similar to Samuel’s, where many are distracted by worldly matters and meaningless pursuits, failing to consider God’s voice in their lives. Our hearts need to be purified daily by His Word so we can recognize His voice in our daily lives.

In the spiritual realm, three key principles are essential: sensitivity to God’s Word, obedience, and guidance by the Holy Spirit. Without these, we cannot align ourselves to hear God’s voice.

Samuel grew up near Priest Eli with the purpose of learning to be sensitive to God’s voice, and his obedience in every situation determined his success in ministry. Samuel had a teachable heart, and from this, we can learn to apply the same in our lives.

Samuel learned to act as a servant of God, developing a keen ear for God’s Word under Eli’s authority. We, too, can learn from Samuel to serve God, listen to His voice, honor spiritual authority, and obey the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

REFLECTIVE QUESTIONS

1. Have I directed my heart to hear God’s voice every day, or are there things blocking my sensitivity to Him?

2. How can I better honor the spiritual authority God has placed in my life while remaining obedient to the guidance of the Holy Spirit?

PRACTICAL ACTIONS

1. Set aside time each day to pray and read God’s Word, asking Him to purify your heart to become more sensitive to His voice.

2. Develop the habit of praying for the spiritual authorities in your life, asking God to grant them wisdom and for the obedience to follow their guidance.
