Discern and Obey God''s Voice...
...As the desire within your heart begins to grow, and as you step out in faith to do the work of God, you will begin to hear many voices. And, before you can truly be effective in God's work, you must be able to HEAR, DISCERN and OBEY the voice of God, and not listen to the voice of strangers.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
John 10:1-7.
...As you mature in the Lord, you will develope an ability to discern His voice and receive His instructions. You must take time to "close out" the world and to "close yourself in" with God in times of prayer and fasting. The more you spend time alone with God getting to know Him, the more you will know His voice when He speaks to you. Whether He speaks to you through a "still, small voice"; audibly; through the written Word; or through circumstances in your life, you will be able to recognize His voice from any other voice.
...In developing this ability of hearing God's voice, you may make some mistakes. Do not be discouraged. Some of the great prophets also made mistakes. But as you go step by step, God will lead you if you have a sincere desire to be led by His Spirit and seek Him with all of your heart.
There is so much to do and so little time in which to do it. It is time for God's Victorious Army to march forward with a greater manifestation of His power and glory than ever before.
Step out in faith and God will lead you to victory as you go in His timing.
Blessings as you go...
Verna.

There will be a clear line drawn between sideline compromisers and those who are operating in the power of the Holy Spirit.
God is revealing Himself to His Body...preparing a people.
As we begin to step out in faith to work the works of God, it is important to wait upon the Lord, be sensitive to His leading, and move in His timing.
God Bless you,
Verna.
