THURSDAY 7/24/14 - Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - Listen and Obey What God Is Speaking to You

THURSDAY 7/24/14 - Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - Listen and Obey What God Is Speaking to You

Deuteronomy 5:29

29 Oh, that they would always have hearts like this, that they might fear me and obey all my commands! If they did, they and their descendants would prosper forever.

Listen and Obey What God Is Speaking to You

You know, God doesn't just speak to ministers and pastors. He's speaking to everyone in every walk of life. A lot of people don't expect to hear from God at all, but in reality, He is speaking to all of us. He is speaking to you.

Of course, you can't hear Him and do what He says unless you're listening for Him. You need to be reading your Bible and preparing your heart to receive from Him, to hear His voice on a regular basis. That way you can follow His instructions and keep His commandments.

Read Deuteronomy 5:29. Can you hear the earnestness in God's voice as He makes that statement? He wants us to keep His commandments so that it 'might go well' with us. He cares about our well-being and knows that the only way He can take care of us is if we're willing to listen and be obedient.

Make it a lifestyle to be identified with Jesus Christ and faithfully be a doer of the Word. Hear His wisdom and follow it today.

Prayer Starter: Lord, I believe that You are speaking to me, and I will purposefully listen to and live out what You tell me to do so that it 'might go well' with me.

If you just started reading the Bible and have not yet asked Jesus into your heart to become your Lord and Savior, all you have to do is:

A - ADMIT YOU ARE A SINNER

Roman 3:23
For everyone has
sinned; we all fall short of God's glorious standard.

Acts 3:19
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord

1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

B - BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS GOD'S SON AND ACCEPT GOD'S GIFT OF FORGIVENESS FROM SIN

Acts 16:31 They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household"

Acts 4:12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.

John 14:6 Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life, No one comes to the Father except through me."

Ephesians 2:8-9 ....8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God- 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.

C - CONFESS YOUR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD

Roman 10:9-10, 13

9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart the God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. 13 for, "Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

If you are ready to ask Jesus into your heart to be your Lord and Savior, you can pray a simple prayer like this to God.

Dear God,

I know I have sinned and my sin separates me from You. I am sorry for my sin. I believe Jesus died on the cross for me so my sin can be forgiven. I believe Jesus rose from the dead and is alive. God please forgive me. I ask Jesus to come into my life and be my Savior and Lord. I will obey You and live for You the rest of my life, Thank You in Jesus' name I Pray.
Amen
