Hearing GOD’S Voice: Part 8

Hearing GOD’S Voice includes responding to HIS timing of words and actions!

Matthew wrote by The Holy Spirit in Matthew chapter 9:

18 While Jesus was still speaking, an influential Jewish leader approached and knelt before Him, saying, “Help me! My daughter has just died. Please come and place Your Hand upon her so that she will live again.”

19 So Jesus and his disciples got up and went with him.

Being led by The Holy Spirit, Jesus proceeded.

23 When Jesus finally entered the home of the Jewish leader, He saw a noisy crowd of mourners, wailing and playing a funeral dirge on their flutes.

24 He told them, “You must leave, for the little girl is not dead; she’s only asleep.” Then everyone began to ridicule Him.

25 After He made the crowd go outside, He went into the girl’s room and gently took hold of her hand. She immediately stood to her feet!

26 And the news of this incredible miracle spread everywhere.

While on His way to the little girl, the woman with the issue of blood was healed without any direct intervention by Jesus.  Her faith in Him made her whole.  She perceived that the power to heal was on Jesus.

27 As Jesus left the house, two blind men began following him, shouting out over and over, “Son of David, show us mercy and heal us!”

Jesus did not stop to immediately heal them even though they were persistent.  It was all about timing.

28 And they followed Him right into the house where Jesus was staying. So Jesus asked them, “Do you believe that I have the power to restore sight to your eyes?” They replied, “Yes Lord, we believe!”

29 Then Jesus put His Hands over their eyes and said, “You will have what your faith expects!”

30 And instantly their eyes opened—they could see! Then Jesus warned them sternly, “Make sure that you tell no one what just happened!”

31 But unable to contain themselves, they went out and spread the news everywhere!

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Luke chapter 5:

17 One day, many Jewish religious leaders known as Pharisees, along with many religious scholars, came from every village in Galilee, throughout Judea, and even from Jerusalem to hear Jesus teach. And the power of the Lord God surged through Jesus to instantly heal the sick.

Jesus perceived the anointing, surging power to heal the sick and He responded accordingly.  The Holy Spirit prepared Jesus as He saw the faith and tenacity of four men expecting Jesus to heal the paralytic man.

18 And behold, some men were bringing on a bed a man who was paralyzed, and they were seeking to bring him in and lay him before Jesus,

19 but finding no way to bring him in, because of the crowd, they went up on the roof and let him down with his bed through the tiles into the midst before Jesus.

20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.”

Most would have assumed that Jesus would simply lay hands on the man.  Instead, The Holy Spirit addressed the core issue to be resolved.  In response, the man was healed.

21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?”

22 When Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts?

23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’?

Jesus revealed the Divine Intent of FATHER, forgiveness of sins and healing are related.

24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins”-he said to the man who was paralyzed-“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.”

25 And immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.

26 And amazement seized them all, and they glorified God and were filled with awe, saying, “We have seen extraordinary things today.”

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 8:

14 The mature children of God are those who are moved (only) by the direction, impulses, and commands of the Holy Spirit.

What, when, where, and how.

Whatever He says, do it.  Whenever He says, do it only then.  How He says to do it, do it according to His instructions.
