One of the keys of being or becoming an overcomer is to hear, listen, and obey Our Heavenly Father\u2019s Voice. Jesus said:<\/p>\n
John 5:30 I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.<\/p>\n
He said again:<\/p>\n
John14:23 Jesus answered and said to him, \u201cIf anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.<\/p>\n
:24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father\u2019s who sent Me.<\/p>\n
The first thing a servant must do is \u201chear\u201d. He must \u201clisten\u201d closely then \u201cobey\u201d the commands. This is what being a good and faithful servant is all about. We must become accustomed to hearing Our Heavenly Father\u2019s Voice and responding to it even though our ego would have us take other actions, later necessitating a need to repent or turn back.<\/p>\n
Our Heavenly Father will \u201cprove\u201d you as you begin to listen. You will first be told to take actions which are of little impact to your life. It will be fun to do those things and you will share with others in excitement. A small blessing here and there will an encouragement to you. Later, however, the stakes will increase. You will be expected to step out of your comfort zone. This separates the men from the boys. It was one thing to give $10 to a person in need, it is another to give $10,000. When the stakes are raised, your ego will jump in and begin negotiating with you. Just give $1,000 instead\u2026 <\/p>\n
Do you trust Our Heavenly Father\u2019s Love for you enough to obey HIS Word to you? In order to operate at the fullness of your calling, you will need to walk in full obedience to what Our Heavenly Father directs you to do. Until then, you will at be be an \u201caspiring\u201d overcomer. There will be times of suffering, there will be obstacles to overcome, and there will be people who will judge you in their unrighteousness.<\/p>\n
Knowing the Divine Law and the Character of Our Heavenly Father will help give you confidence that you are hearing HIM. If you know HIS Character then you will know HIS Words because HIS words will bring life, not death and destruction. The better you know HIM, the more responsibility, authority, accountability, and power will be given for your use. Only a faithful and reliable Son or Daughter will be given power from On High.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
