I love hearing God’s voice.
You might remember my posts last year about this time sharing how I had discovered that God can and wants to talk to me every day.
And discovery of all discoveries, I can hear Him.
Really hear Him.
It’s amazing, y’all.
Over the last year I have really walked through some amazing and yet some very uncomfortable healing in my life. And I discovered that at the core of my very being, I was afraid.
Afraid of what?
Afraid of being abandoned.
At the core of my being I was terrified that He would walk out on me – leave me at the most crucial times in my life. Why did I feel that way? Because of past experiences and forming ungodly beliefs that became my truths. And that isn’t good. No sir. Not at all.
Thankfully I’ve been meeting with someone to talk through this issue and pray through it. And you know what? Now I can see the other side. It’s so freeing to know the root of a problem or issue in your life and then be able to finally address it.
No one wants to feel alone. We’ve all experienced abandonment on some level in life. Just some of us have let it sink in deep and affect our relationships. So we (ahem. translate: me) operate out of fear – and not love. When fear is at the core of our being, there isn’t room for real love – God’s love.
I want there to be room for love.
Only love
Thankfully, the Word tells us that God’s perfect love casts out fear.
He’s doing that in my life.
Sadly, I have 40 years of bad habits formed that must be changed. So this is what I’m doing:
I’ve started memorizing Scriptures on being a daughter of God and what it means to be a daughter of the King – not an orphan. He has never left me – never abandon me. The lies I believed for so long must be replaced with the truths that I know in my head.
So I’m going to read them, study them, memorize and say them until they sink in deep.
You can see them in full here on my new Declarations Page.
And I’m going to keep pressing in to hearing His voice and learning it’s subtle nuances so I can recognize Him in a fleeting moment.
Even a year later, it’s still worth it.
So what do you think? Do you want to hear His voice? Do you want to be free from the issues that plague you every day that you live? Well you can! God wants you to be free! I’m telling you it’s life-changing! All you have to do is want it and then go after it. Healing is a beautiful thing – even though the journey may be uncomfortable at times.
I’m praying for you.
Go for it, okay?
