IN THE SILENCE

 

IN THE SILENCE

 

The lamp in God's temple hadn't gone out yet, and Samuel was asleep in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was kept. Then the LORD called Samuel. "Here I am," Samuel responded.

(1Sa 3:3-4 GW)

 

*Samuel was a unique prophet in that the bible says that none of his words fell to the ground. This means whatever Samuel said would happen, happened. This is very powerful imagine if whatever you said came to pass. However we must realize what enabled Samuel’s word to be as good as God very own word.

*Samuel slept in the presence of God where the ark was kept which was not lawful at the time, however by grace he did. It was in this quiet place that the Lord first called out to him as he was still training in the temple.

We can see Samuel knew the voice of God because he spent time where he would only hear God speak and as a result what he said always came to pass.

*In this modern time there are many voices and suggestions from people, television, music, facebook, celebrities and so on seeming to speak to Christians and tell them what and how they should live. Do not allow yourself to be shaped by the world! Get into the secret place, the silent place, where it is just you and God pray, read the Word and hear God speak to you.

*It is when you separate yourself in silence as in fasting that the Holy Ghost can minister to you and guide you clearly. Take time out to hear and receive instruction from God to allow His Will to flourish in your life.

 

ACT

Take at least five minutes of today in silence to speak and hear God speak back to you.

 

SEE;

*Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. (Mar 1:35)

*Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end. There are many devices in a man's heart; nevertheless the counsel of the LORD, that shall stand. (Pro 19:20-21)
