The God Frequency

"Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the LORD our Maker; for he is our God and we are the people of his pasture, the flock under his care." -Psalm 95:6-8

Have you ever thought about what kind of "frequency" heaven must have? I was doing a tutorial recently on the frequency rates of wireless devices.  The information was fascinating!  All these electro-magnetic waves traveling through the air that we can't even see.  There is so much in our world that is invisible.  This is true in heaven, too. 

Sometimes we get caught up in the worries of life.  Sometimes someone angers us and we can't shake it off. Sometimes we are caught up in the world's pleasures.  The state of our hearts can live at those frequencies.  But, God invites us to transcend our emotional frequencies into heavenly frequencies - that of peace, love, and joy, and the Holy Spirit's presence in our lives.  I had a revelatory moment when I realized that it was possible to live in God's presence all the time and feel Him, not just in church services or at special events. We just need to work on our worship to Him individually to invite more of His presence into our lives. 

Jesus taught us to pray in Matthew 6, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven."  This heavenly reality begins in the garden of our hearts.  That is why the enemy wants nothing more to keep Christians content with the status quo, or so locked up in emotional bondage that they are rendered ineffective for the kingdom. 

What frequency are you on?  I pray you can "tune-in" to God's frequency, all the time, so that His plans can be made manifest in your life.

How to Hear God's Voice

"Listen for God's voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track." -Proverbs 3:6 

It was Monday morning, during our staff Bible study time. My dad asked, "How do you hear God?" Out came a myriad of responses. 

"A thought pops into my mind of someone, and that's how I know I'm supposed to pray for them." 

"I get a sense of His Spirit, then I get a word or a phrase." 

"I hear Him when I'm driving in the car. It mostly comes in pieces throughout the day, but then all the pieces link together to form a picture." 

"When I'm talking to someone, I get a certain emotion. It's like God gives me empathy for that person and I know what to pray on their behalf." 

Have you ever thought about the fact that we all hear God differently? 

Because each of us is wired uniquely, with different gifts and talents, we will not all hear God the same way. God speaks to each of us in a way that we can understand Him, often through our gifts or love language. 

Learning to hear God's voice is a unique process of reading the word, perceiving God around us, and "opening our ears", so to speak, to be able to hear what He's saying to us. It took me a while to learn to hear God, because I didn't know what was me and what was Him. But, after we learn God's character and how He operates, through reading the Word and being discipled, we begin to discern His voice from ours. 

Are you able to hear God's voice in your life? Seek this out - it is the most valuable attribute of a Christian - to be able to hear the voice of our heavenly Father in our lives.
