Are You Listening To God Today?
A message was given at church last night by one of our Pastor's spiritual mentors. An Evangelist who has given his whole life to deliver the word of God all over the world. This man of 70 years spoke God's wisdom over the 1000 or more attendees.
His question to all was "are you listening for God?" in the quiet moments as well as the big moments. During his message he would stop and be quiet for a moment, as if he was losing his train of thought, then he would softly ask God for the words to continue. This wise pastor did not lose his way. He was letting God lead. Fifty years in the pulpit, he knows that the message is the Lord's.
Then he would continue on in great strength and fullness of speech receiving an exuberant response from the congregation. I am so blessed to be a member of a church that is alive and excited to gather, to sing, praise and listen for God to speak.
The church diverse in it's people; full in the body and filled with the Spirit. The fruit of this giving congregation feeds millions yearly. As a result thousands and thousands are accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior, and lives are healed and restored to God's plan for them. That's the reason for all messages from God, that's what He is saying in that still quiet voice...follow me and feed my sheep.
Let the word of God speak to you right now. Today.
Sounds like a great church and great Pastor! How cool is that to witness God leading him in his services!?!
