Are You Hearing from God?

Scripture Reading

John 10:27 (KJV)

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.

Daily Poem

Loud and Clear

I hear you Lord, loud and clear,

I hear over the noise,

without any types of fear.

I know Your voice and know Your Word,

I won’t do anything unless from You I’ve heard.

I love You now and forever more,

thank You for opening the river doors…

Word for the Day

How many times have you and I said, I can’t hear the Lord speaking to me. But in reality, He is always speaking to us. We are not listening or hearing most of the time. The Word of God, the Bible, is the most prominent way to hear the Lord speaking to us by way of the Holy Spirit impressing our spirit. We do not normally hear from Him in an audible voice, but in that still, small voice of the Holy Spirit. Also, He will never deviate from His Word when speaking to your spirit.

What is the Lord saying to you today?

April 2nd

Are You Bearing Good (God) Fruit?

Scripture Reading

Matthew 7:17 (NIV)

By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.

Daily Poem

You Are a Fruit Producer!

You and I are producers of fruit,

just as the Word of God says.

We need to represent the Lord as best as we can,

for our time on this earth,

for the rest of our days,

our fruit should be sweet and reflect God’s ways.

Daily Word

What fruit are you producing? Are you being a witness wherever you go? Or sowing seeds of love, kindness, gentleness, meekness, long-suffering, joy, peace, and self-control? I believe we can be all the Lord wants us to be by keeping His Word before us.

What is the Lord saying to you?

Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve

Scripture Reading

Joshua 24:15

Choose this day whom you will serve.

But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
