When I started to take my walk/work with God seriously, over two decades ago, I had no point of reference by experience in knowing which part of what I heard was God, me or even my circumstances.  However, I believe my heart was in the right place because my greatest desire was to obey God especially in the things He would say to me personally.  So I made a deal with Him.  I told Him I was committed to doing whatever He told me to do and asked that He, please frustrate my efforts where I make a mistake to think that I heard Him, but it wasn’t Him.  In all this time I learnt;

1.  We hear with our heart, and we obey by faith.
2. God’s instructions may never make sense if I try to understand them by human logic.
3. God is constantly working the future out in my present, so I may never be able to truly comprehend what He is doing.
4. The surrounding circumstance and mindset most of the time never aligns with what Heaven wants.
5. Fear can be the reason I don’t follow through on what I hear.
6. A lack of courage can keep me from doing what I hear.
7. That it is God does not mean perfect conditions.

In hearing and doing the will of God, there are no guarantees beyond that we want to do the WILL of God, but that is all the guarantee that is required.  Even when we are mistaken, He is able to make all things work together for our good.

God honours us when suspend what is around us that makes sense to follow Him even when we lack 100% of clarity!

More importantly, God loves to speak to us and He speaks to us daily, so make room to hear Him!

Embrace Your Super Power!
