I have become accustom to living in the Lord’s presence, and hearing from Him through out each and every day, however there are times when He goes silent. At first I find it odd, then after a day or so I try to rationalize that maybe He has nothing to say, but eventually I have to face the fact that there must be something that I’m doing or not doing that is causing an interference; a breakdown in our communication. Scripture tells us that HEARING IS EASY, right?!? Then why are there times when I can’t hear Him? For me many times it is because I’ve gotten into pride. I’ve been judging someone else, scorning them for something I think that they should be doing or not doing, and looking down on them with haughty eyes. The reality is that SUPERIORITY and INFERIORITY are both fear based, and to be able to hear the Spirit, it is required of us to come with a clean heart. A heart full of love and gratitude, not fear. I can’t stand in judgement and scorn other people, and then expect to have an intimate relationship with their FATHER. #god #jesus #holyspirit #abideinhope #scripture #kingdomculture #spiritfilled

Excerpt from “The Spirit Filled Believer’s” Daily Devotional “Craning the neck, scanning the horizon, and shading the eyes with the hand in order to see at a distance: these are all expressed by the phrase reaching forward. Paul is telling the Philippians to forget the past and start looking ahead. He knew what he was talking about. Since he had earlier persecuted the Church and consented to the stoning of Stephen, Paul had to learn to put such negative memories behind him and get on with life. Instead of allowing the past to become an unbearable burden and weight to him, Paul simply dropped it to the ground and used it as a stepping stone to the future. Reaching forward is a good exercise for all of us. It stimulates hope. It puts us in a state of expectancy. It declares that what has been is only a prologue to what will be: Yesterday was good, today is better, tomorrow will be better still. Reaching forward anticipates miracles, revivals, outpourings of the Spirit of God, deliverance’s, and answered prayer. It looks to the future with intensity and great expectation, as Isaac looked and waited eagerly for the arrival of his new bride. (Gen. 24:63) As Christians we have so much to look forward to: the salvation of our families the evangelization of the world the reviving of our churches, and most of all, that blessed hope, the return of Christ the Bridegroom for His Bride, the Church.” “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you, and not harm you, plans to give you a hope, and a future.” (Jer. 29:11) “What a future we have to look forward to!” ~Dick Mills #god #jesus #holyspirit #abideinhope #spiritfilledbeliever #dickmills #kingdomculture #overcomer #onedayatatime

March 10 Excerpt from “The Spirit Filled Believer’s” Daily Devotional “Your God is saying to you: ‘Your prayer has been heard. I am intervening and responding to your petition. The answer is on it’s way. I am speeding up the answer, so get ready for a quick and sudden release of Divine Power in your situation.’ In the Greek text of this verse, the expression short work is suntmno logos (soon-tem’-no log’-os). Logos has many definitions, among them ‘topic,’ ‘matter,’ ‘a thing,’ ‘a report,’ ‘a subject,’ and ‘a word.’ Suntemno means ‘to reduce or contract the size of a thing by concise and speedy cutting.’ Thus we are promised here that God’s Word covering final things, and the consummation of time, will be speed-ed up and shortened. The Lord is doing a ‘quick work’ in His Church. Do not be surprised when He accelerates: 1. YOUR ANSWERS 2. YOUR GROWTH AND MATURING 3. YOUR ABILITY TO WORSHIP HIM IN SPIRIT AND TRUTH 4. YOUR DESIRES TO PLEASE HIM AND DO HIS WILL ~Dick Mills #god #jesus #holyspirit #dickmills #revelation #spiritfilledbeliever #kingdomculture #abideinhope

Amen! #god #jesus #holyspirit #kingdomculture #toddwhite #abideinhope

Excerpt from “The Spirit Filled Believer’s” Daily Devotional “This is a good verse for those of us who seek guidance and direction from the Lord. It is an assurance that our heavenly Father is going to move us from a weak transmission to a ‘clear-channel station with no static.’We will be able to hear the gentle voice of the Good Shepherd without interference. The Lord makes three direct promises in this verse: I will instruct you…This is like having a private tutor. The purpose of the instruction we thus receive is to make us more intelligent, skillful and circumspect in our dealings, more adept in making decisions. ….and teach you in the way you should go; The original word used here indicates the pointing of a finger in a certain direction. It also implies shooting an arrow at a target in such a way as to avoid missing the mark. This word from the Lord is an assurance that we will not drift aimlessly through life, but that He will give us a definite direction and clear goal to aim for. …I will guide you with My eye. One translation phrase says: ‘I will keep My eye upon you to see how you are doing.’ Here is my paraphrase of this verse: ‘I will make you skillful and proficient in decision-making and will aim you in the right direction; I will watch your progress and see how you are getting along; My eye will be upon you for your benefit.” ~Dick Mills #god #jesuschrist #holyspirit #kingdomculture #abideinhope #spiritfilled #spiritfilledbeliever

Excerpt from “The Spirit Filled Believer’s” Daily Devotional “The word thing in the original Hebrew is omer (o’–mer) and is similar to the Greek word rhema. The promises, the sayings, the word, the utterance, and the confessed word and included in omer. ‘You will also declare the Word of God, the promises of God, the sayings of God, and these things will happen.’ This implies more than just cheerful optimism, wishful thinking, or positive affirmation. When we speak forth the Word of God, we are not just blowing smoke, filling the air with clever rhetoric, or mouthing platitudes. We are declaring with our lips what God has spoken to our hearts. The power is not in our speaking; it’s in the Lord Who gives the message. When we’re in distress, people can tell us, ‘Don’t give up; hand in there. Remember it’s always darkest before the dawn.’ And all that may be true and some comfort. But it really does more for us to hear the Lord say to us personally, ‘…not a hair of your head shall be lost (Luke 21:18 NKJ). All the cute aphorisms and clever slogans in the world are anemic compared with a solid word from the Lord. This word declare (or decree) means ‘to decide, predetermine, and declare the outcome of a matter before it comes to pass.’ If your declaration is in line with the word you have received from God, you can ‘declare a thing, and it will be established for you!’ Weak or timid faith is too cautious to make any kind of pronouncement before it sees the outcome, but strong faith says, ‘It shall be done just as the Lord has said!” ~Dick Mills #god #jesus #holyspirit #abideinhope #revelation #spiritfilledbeliever #dickmills #robertmorris #endtimes #warrior
