As a child, you have a right to ask your father to speak,
Your father could decide to speak in different ways, sometimes by a deafening silence, or maybe a Mighty thunder, other times a still small voice… sometimes through the storm but it’s always up to him. In our quest for accuracy, we often become guilty of trying to force the voice of God, and unfortunately, we open up our hearts heart to wrong counsel, darkness sounding as light.
God’s silence can be as clear as his thundering voice..
If silence is all you have, then find peace with even his silence, and trust his plans for you, God is able to keep all that he has committed to you, his love is sufficient to preserve, edify, guide, and uphold you at any phase for your journey.
In seasons of confusion, stay on the last instructions, remain on the last Yes or No you heard until you hear the opposite
Note that In a family every child is different, and treated differently according to the level of responsibility they have attained, we would not always hear the same way or experience exactly the same expressions of God, but when we test the product of the communication, it will always be consistent with God’s ways
We are all different,
We are all at different stages
We are at different levels of conformity with the image of Jesus
Some of us are instructed,
They need to be told in clear terms, what to do and what not to do, they are not expected to move without clear instruction, because they haven’t come to fully become one with the intents of God enough to act as he would act without clear cut instructions
Some are expected to take responsibility,
These ones, by virtue of fellowship, and an active walk with God that includes a sacrifice of all they desire to embrace what is God’s intent, have arrived at a place where there is a sync in their desires and the will of God, they have the mind of Christ, they have become the sons who embody and the prioritize kingdom via their actions and inactions
Some are loved into action,
At a stage in our walk with God, we weren’t saddled with any responsibility, we were fed, held, led carried, and all we asked for came on a platter, our choice was made for us, and even when we insisted on our ways, events just aligned without many consequences, all children are not the same.
We are dealt with According to our levels of responsibility, so also the expectations placed on us differ with our walk with God. It would be an error for David to be waiting for a burning Bush before action when clearly the Bible says he was a man after God’s heart…
It would be an error, for Daniel to be casting lots to find God’s will, when he should be dealing at the principality level, at that level he was making decisions and enforcing the kingdom of God
It would be an error, for Elijah to fast for 30 days to decide whether to raise that widow’s child when at the moment the need was glaring according to God’s plans
These and many more examples abound… but one thing is sure, they all individually knew their God & his precedents, they knew when he moved & when he didn’t want to
In the words of Daniel 11:32
“The people who know their God shall be strong, and do exploits…
Do you know your God? Or are you constrained by the experiences of your neighbors, are we depending on the crumbs from the table of our neighbors to aid us to perceive the move of God
There’s also a place for confirmations, where what we receive needs to be tested for alignment and accuracy
But the call to us in these times is a call to intimacy, where we as individuals establish a clear walk with God, an active personal alter, with the goal of arriving at a place where his thoughts become our thoughts and his priorities become our priorities
It’s the same God, the same name Jesus and the same guide the Holy Spirit!
Come Up Hither!
