Everybody
wants to hear from God. But that's just the first step. What do you
do after you get the revelation? There are 4 phases to hearing from
God: Revelation, Interpretation, Application/Wisdom, and Timing.
Revelation's
the “easy” part; only we just can't make it happen. Believe me,
God wants that communication with you more than you do. So the trick
is to tune-in to his frequency.
You
can hear all sorts of voices with your radio. But to hear any
particular one, your radio has to be on and tuned to the right
frequency. And each side has a part to play. You can't force the
station to transmit, but when they do you can't hear it unless you're
already tuned in.
So
how do we tune-in to God's frequency? Intimacy with him. Worship.
Prayer. Reading his word. Practicing solitude – time alone,
unplugged – no Internet, no phone, no distractions. And just
waiting. He will talk to you eventually, and usually it doesn't take
that long.
And
living a life-style of holiness. We all sin, but if you're willingly
living a life-style of sin, a life-style that you know God doesn't
accept, for example, sleeping with your girlfriend or boyfriend,
drugs, greed, etc, then your radio's not even on. It doesn't matter
if you do all the things above (worship, prayer, etc). Being tuned in
to the station won't help if the radio's off.
What
broadcast does God have for you today? Tune in your radio to his
station and find out.
