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

Listen. For the silence has much to say

Silence isn’t empty—it speaks with wisdom, healing, and divine whispers. In stillness, hear God’s voice and find renewal beyond the noise.

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

Listen. For the Silence has much to say.

Amidst the ceaseless stream of technology, the allure of virtual relationships, and the rush of daily obligations, it can become challenging to attune yourself to My quiet voice (1 Kings 19:11-12).

I deeply understand your profound desire to seek solace and connection in this bustling world. I empathize with the overwhelming noise and constant distractions that often hinder your ability to find peace and hear My gentle whispers within you. 

But when you join Me in taking a step back from the abundance of activities and stimuli, you can find the stillness you yearn for. It is through simplicity and the art of being present that you can allow yourself to truly listen and perceive the Messages that I long to impart to you. May you find tranquility amidst the noise and may your journey toward a deeper connection with Me be blessed with serenity and clarity (Psalm 46:1). 

It takes courage, for in the silence comes the hunger, woundedness, anger, and pain you are striving to stuff down or escape with the noise, the technology, the “too much.” But only in the silence can you heal. In this gentle oasis, I will rejuvenate and revive your weary soul, so that the brilliance of My presence can shine brightly through your eyes, your touch, and your very existence. May you find peace and healing in the stillness that surrounds you.

May you find tranquility amidst the noise and may your journey toward a deeper connection with Me be blessed with serenity and clarity.

Listen. For the Silence has much to say

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,

P.S. Author's note: This blog is written in the voice of Christ. I feel this style of writing gives people a fresh perspective and greater sense of God's presence. Denying a duty-based faith, my goal is to free people up from condemnation and burdensome rules and present a perspective of the reader's freedom and God's unconditional love and acceptance. ~ Cyndi
