Hear God, Obey God, And Be Blessed By God

Isaiah 30:21
²¹ Your own ears will hear him. Right behind you a voice will say,
“This is the way you should go,” whether to the right or to the left.

John 14:26
²⁶ But the ^[a]Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.

Mark 4:24
²⁴ Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.

This week I had a really powerful experience straight from God.  My husband and I were recording a video for my business.  After the third take, we finally were at a point where we thought we had the perfect video for me to release to my team.   Because I had so much to do that day, I was ready for this little project to be over, so that we could move on to something else that really needed to be done.

Afterward, I was standing in my kitchen and the Holy Spirit whispered, “You should make a video to your customers”.   We had just turned off the lights and put things back in place when this happened.

I was so happy to complete the first video, that I could not have imagined doing another one so quickly.   I immediately told my husband what I heard, and he was on board.  It all happened so fast that I didn’t even have time to think or resist what the Holy Spirit was guiding me to do. There was absolutely no pushback on my part, I just jumped into action.

When we were recording the new video, I immediately started to send it out to my customers, friends, and relatives.  I must say that the results have been amazing!  My customers’ reactions to the video, have been worth it all.   They have absolutely loved it and, I must add that God gets all the glory, because it was certainly His idea,

I wondered how many times in the past, I thought that something was just a passing idea when it was the Holy Spirit trying to guide me and I missed it.

I learned 5 valuable lessons this week.

1. I need to pay close attention when God is speaking to me. I should never ignore or dismiss His voice.

2. I need to immediately respond to Him in obedience. I don’t need to question Him; He is God, and He knows what He is doing.

3. I don’t need to be so wrapped up in my own agenda that I miss His plan for my life, which is always the best plan.

4. There are always blessings on the other side of obedience.

5. God guides us because He wants us to be successful

I encourage you today to listen for His voice. It is pure and it is right, and it is perfect!
