Daily Devotional Day 35

It wasn't until later, that God's voice is described in the scriptures as thunder. It was at Mount Sinai with Moses. Sin and shame, as they enter from the outside of us, have a noisy effect on our ability to hear Him in our spirit. We are full of fear and it changes the sound of God's voice. Jesus will come again ruling and reigning one day in the New kingdom from the outside, as well as inside out through the Holy Spirit. Until then, He influences us from the inside out through His Holy Spirit.

Jesus lived with an unbroken connection with the Father. This is what the life worth living is designed to be. This is what the term completion or perfection means. It is Christ in us and us in Christ. The abiding life is the promised land of rest. This is our goal.

The Holy Spirit communicates with each of us uniquely. How have you heard His voice before? Was it a still small voice, a knowing or sensation, a sign, through the scriptures?

Where were you when you heard His voice? What was the environment like inside and outside of you? Reflect on these things to help you practice. Completion takes practice, experiential knowledge and revelation. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you seek and hear His voice.
