Stop and Steep

Unlock the divine whispers that guide your soul and discover the intimate conversation awaiting you within the sacred pages of Scripture.

Our faith quenches a spiritual thirst through the Holy Spirit and intimate connection with God. Many struggle to understand this, but it begins with reading my Word. Not just reading, but highlighting your favorite verses, and not just highlighting, but soaking them in.

As you delve into your Bible, listen closely to my gentle voice speaking directly to your heart. Each verse becomes a conduit for my wisdom and love, drawing you into a deeper relationship and a greater experience of my character.

As soon as you come to a verse that captures your heart, don’t try to keep reading. Stop right there and jump into the verse like a tea bag into water. Steep by reading the verse slowly, just one word at a time or a few words at a time. Focus and listen, for God surely has something personal to say to you through his Word.

As you focus in this way, my Holy Spirit will inhabit the words and bring them to life. As you jump into Scripture like a bag into steaming water, you will realize your thirst for me. Scripture isn't like reading a book; my words are alive and get inside you, changing the essence of Who you are. 

This method of reading my Word will satisfy that thirst and imprint Scripture within you for life.

Now, you’re not just reading your Bible; you are conversing personally with me.

"Let's practice the art of Bible meditation. ... Let us open our Bibles, spread them out on a chair and meditate on the Word of God. It will open itself to us, and the Spirit of God will come and brood over it. ... Put away the questions and answers and the filling in of blank lines ... and in faith say, "Father, here I am. Begin to touch me!" ~A.W. Tozer

It's Easier to Guide a Sheep That's Moving

 

Imagine a sheep lying on all fours, completely still. You can try pushing, poking, rolling it over, or even picking it up putting it on your shoulders, but it takes a lot of effort to get that sheep up and moving. Now, picture a sheep that’s already walking. A gentle nudge to the right or left is all it takes to guide it in the direction you want it to go.

In much the same way, when you're seeking direction for your life, it helps to take a baby step forward rather than waiting passively. Movement allows for guidance, one small nudge at a time, leading you toward the best path. This approach doesn’t require a grand or miraculous revelation—just a willingness to stand up and start moving.

For example, if you’re seeking clarity about finding a life partner, consider this:

Faithful Love: Always Waiting, Always Calling

 

How have I (Christ) stirred your heart? If you feel led, please share how My call has reached your heart—with a comment or prayer request below

How to hear from my Word

Jesus might say:

Many read the Bible at face value, as if they were reading a normal book and feel they have gained understanding and know how to apply it. Egregious things have been done in my name because these readers have a flat, human understanding of the Bible. My Word will be misinterpreted unless I, myself, am revealed in it by my Holy Spirit. That’s because my Word is living and active (Hebrews 4:12): If you allow it, the words of the Bible actively get inside your heart and change you from the inside out. 

My Word is me talking to you, and you cannot hear me properly unless that Word is illuminated and infused by my Holy Spirit. Whenever you open the Bible, say a prayer that my Holy Spirit will show you what I'm saying through it, and help you to apply it and hear me speaking directly to you.

Love,

Heightened Spiritual Senses

"The Almighty God, the Lord, speaks ... Our God is coming, but not in silence" (Psalm 50 1;3).

My dearest child, I have given you heightened spiritual senses to hear me and feel me. Listen, practice, and learn to enhance your ability to hear me. I speak, I am always speaking. Listen and you will learn of my love.

Love,
