First The Spiritual

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

May 15 – First The Spiritual

What can I say to you?  Your heart is torn.  Then remember “He bindeth up the broken hearts.”  Just feel the tenderness of My Hands as I bind up your wounds.  

You are very privileged, both of you.  I share My plans and secrets with you and make known to you My Purposes, while so many have to grope on.

Try to rest on these words.  “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”  Then strive not for them, but untiringly, for the things of My Kingdom.

It is so strange to you mortals, you would think the material things first and then grow into the knowledge of Spiritual things. Not so in My Kingdom.  It is spiritual things first and then material. So to attain the material redouble your efforts to acquire the Spiritual.

The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath sent me to heal 
the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, … to
 set at liberty them that are bruised.  Luke 4:18

The Rest Of God

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

May 8 – The Rest of God

I lead you. The way is clear. Go forward unafraid. I am beside you. Listen, listen, listen to My Voice. My Hand is controlling all.

Remember that I can work through you better when you are at rest. Go very slowly, very quietly from one duty to the next – taking the time to rest and pray between.

Do not be too busy. Take all in order as I say. The Rest of God is in a realm beyond all man’s activities. Venture there often, and you will indeed find Peace and Joy.

All work that results from resting with God is miracle-work.  Claim the power to work miracles, both of you.

Know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Nay, more, know that you can do all things through Christ who rests you.

And in that day there shall be a root of Jesse … and his rest shall be glorious.  Isaiah 11:10

Bless Your Enemies

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

April 25 – Bless Your EnemiesSay often, “God bless . . . ,” of any whom you find in disharmony with you, or whom you desire to help. Say it, willing that showers of blessings and joy and success may fall upon them.Leave to Me that necessary correcting or training; you must only desire joy and blessing for them. At present your prayers are that they should be taught and corrected.

Oh! If My children would leave My work to Me and occupy themselves with the task I give them. Love, love, love. Love will break down all your difficulties. Love will build up all your successes.

God the destroyer of evil, God the creator of good — is Love. To Love one another is to use God in your life. To use God in your life is to bring into manifestation all harmony, beauty, joy, and happiness.

“But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you,
do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Matthew 5:44

No Greater Joy

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

March 17  –  “No Greater Joy”                            

Withdraw into the calm of communion with Me. Rest – rest, rest in that calm and Peace. Life knows no greater joy than you will find in converse and companionship with Me.

You are Mine. When the soul finds its home of rest in Me, then it is, that its real Life begins. Not in years, as man counts it, do we measure in My Kingdom.

We count only from his second birth, that new birth of which I spoke to Nicodemus when I said, “Ye must be born again.” We know no life but Eternal Life and when a man enters into that, then he lives.

And this is Life Eternal, to know God, My Father and Me, the Son sent by Him. So immature, so childish, so empty is all so-called living before that. I shower Love on you. Pass Love on.

Do not fear. To fear is as foolish as if a small child with a small coin, but a rich father, fretted about how rent and rates should be paid, and what he or she would do about it. Is this work Mine or not? You need to trust Me for everything.

“There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. 
For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased 
from his own works, as God did from his.” – Hebrews 4:9,10

Reflect Me

From the book God Calling (www.twolisteners.org )

 

March 16 – Reflect Me

My children, I am here beside you. Draw near in spirit to Me. Shut out the distractions of the world. I am your Life, the very breath of your soul. Learn what it is to shut yourself in the secret place of your being, which is My secret place too.

True it is, I wait in many a heart, but so few retire into that inner place of the being to commune with Me. Wherever the soul is, I am. Man has rarely understood this. I am actually at the center of every man’s being, but, distracted with the things of the sense-life, he finds Me not.

Do you realize that I am telling you truths, revealing them, not repeating oft-told facts. Meditate on all I say. Ponder it. Not to draw your own conclusions, but to absorb Mine.

All down the ages, men have been too eager to say what they thought about My truth, and so doing, they have grievously erred. Hear Me. Talk to Me. Reflect Me. Do not say what you think about me. My words need none of man’s explanation. I can explain to each heart.

Make Me real, and leave Me to do My own work. To lead a soul to Me is one thing, to seek to stay with it to interpret mars the first great act. So would it be with human intercourse. How much more then, when it is a question of the soul, and Me, its Maker, and only real Spirit that understands it.

“In returning and rest shall ye be saved; in quietness 
and in confidence shall be your strength.” – Isaiah 30:15

Guidance Is Guidance

From the book God at eventide (www.twolisteners.org )

March 15 – Guidance Is Guidance

Be still before Me. How often in a crisis man rushes hither and thither. Rush is a sign of weakness. Quiet abiding is a sign of strength.

A few quiet actions, as you are led to do them, and all is accomplished wisely and rightly, more quickly and more effectually than could be done by those who rush about and act feverishly.

Guidance IS Guidance, the being led, the being shown the way. Believe this.

Softly across life’s tumult, comes a gentle Voice, “Peace, be still.” The waves of difficulty will hear. They will fall back. There will be a great calm.

And then the Still Small Voice of Guidance.

You are complete

March 13 – You Are Complete

Be happy in Me. Feel that your life is complete in Me. Know the Joy of a friendship in which those who love Me share.

Know a glad contentment in the security of your protected and guided life. Value the Power that Union with Me gives you.

The greatest power that money, fame, or position of the world can give, still leaves the possessor but as a child beating helpless hands against an impregnable fortress, as compared with the Power of My Spirit, which can render a follower of Mine himself an invincible, an all-conquering force.

How to Glorify God

The highest form of worship to God is to obey Him. By honoring Him in our thoughts, words, and actions, we can glorify Him with our lives.

The Bible says in Colossians 3:17, “Whatever you do [no matter what it is] in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus and in [dependence upon] His Person, giving praise to God the Father through Him.” AMP

This is the key to everyday Christian life. Regardless of whether we go to school, church, work, or stay home, whatever we do should be in honor of the Lord. Not everything that we do is in and of itself spiritual, per se, but we can bring glory to God in both the largest and smallest actions that we take. Here are some ways that we can practically do everything in the name of Jesus.

Have a song on your heart. Is there a song from church that you just love, or a psalm in the Bible that brings your peace or joy? Think about it throughout the day and praise God in your heart. That way no matter what you do, your mind if focused on Him.

Be prayerful.Communicating with God is easy when you know that he can see and hear everything, even the deepest of our thoughts. Telling Him, whether it be out loud or in our thoughts, about what we are feeling will keep us connected with Him. If you are angry, pray about it, and you will find it easier to deal with. Also, praying for the people that you encounter during your day is also a great way to bring honor to God just by going through the day.

Do your best. If you are working on something, doing chores, studying, or at your job, do it as if you are doing it for God’s glory. In reality, you will be. It can be a testimony that God is motivating you, blessing the work of your hands, and gifting you with the ability to do whatever it is you are doing well.

Avoid complaining and worry. Having a bad attitude about things doesn’t make God look good. Look at the bright side of things, and don’t mumble about how much you don’t like certain things. Worry is wasted energy, just like complaining is. It is a much better testimony to the goodness and ability of God if you pray about your concerns and trust that God will take care of you. Getting stressed, feeling hopeless, and worrying does happen sometimes, but don’t stay there. Pray and get out of the worrying-ditch. Your faith in the Lord with inspire others, and glorify God.

Be kind to others. A smile can go a long way. Be nice to people, be patient with them, and be courteous. These days there are more and more people who are proud, rude, and in a rush. Stand out and be kind. Doing nice things for other people is a way to be a witness to the goodness of Jesus. You can really brighten someone’s day and make them feel special. If that doesn’t bring glory to God, I don’t know what does!

Overall, do the things that you know will please God, and avoid the things you know won’t reflect well on Him. After all, as a Christian, you are representing Him. Honor the Lord in everything that you say and do, and His light and glory will shine through you.

FEAR

fear

how many times a day we feel scared
we may have fear because of future,work,exams,school,studying,sickness,money, fear of loosing someone, fear of bad things to happen,fear of Pain,fear of being sad, or frustrated,or fear of  a relationship to break, many reasons to freak you out through the day.
but here’s God’s help and aid for this fear

from the book God calling

 

December 12 – Care-free

Perfect love casteth out fear.

Love and fear cannot dwell together. By their very natures they cannot exist side by side. Evil is powerful, and fear is one of evil’s most potent forces.

Therefore a weak vacillating love can be soon routed by fear, whereas a perfect Love, a trusting Love, is immediately the Conqueror, and fear, vanquished, flees in confusion.

But I am Love because God is Love, and I and the Father are one. So the only way to obtain this perfect Love, that dispels fear, is to have Me more and more in your lives. You can only banish fear by My Presence and My Name.

Fear of the future — Jesus will be with us.

Fear of poverty — Jesus will provide. (And so to all the temptations of fear.)

You must not allow fear to enter. Talk to Me. Think of Me. Talk of Me. Love Me. And that sense of My Power will so possess you that no fear can possess your mind. Be strong in this My Love.

“And it shall come to pass in the day that the Lord shall give thee rest from
 thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage
 wherein thou wast made to serve.” Isaiah 14:3

————————–

Accept this help from God, accept God’s being in your life, accept him when he wants to be a part of your life just to make you happy , just to hel you, accept that he provides you, when he wants to provide you in your need ,accept it, don’t reject his love, his mercy, and his answer to all your questions, when you feel that God wants to help you, don’t reject it.

God bless you
