For God to be “HERE” Guiding Me, I Have to Earnestly “HEAR” Him

At “3:00 A.M. this morning, I woke to these words: For God to be “HERE” guiding me, I have to earnestly “HEAR” Him. Thought crossed my mind that maybe God was composing my weekly blog message. Before dozing back off, I jotted down the sentence in my phone’s reminders app. Post Church service and on my daily walk, I wondered if, indeed, the sentence should be my topic. Not convinced, I tabled my decision till I finished pool exercising, which followed my walk. Once back in dry clothes, I reached for my phone and notebook.

First thing I did was pull up my reminders app. The sentence was gone. For certain, it was there at 3:00 A.M.. Now, it was not. Immediately, I sensed God saying this was not a mistake but His needing to lead since I was not convinced to follow. In truth, there was no human rhyme nor reason to what I did next. I will not doubt that it was fully Divine direction. I opened my emails. Blaring me in the face was the reality that between 5:36 A.M. and 5:38 A.M. this morning, eleven emails flooded my box. Each and every one solely contained the soul message I’d woken up to at 3:00 A.M.. For God to be “HERE” guiding me, I have to earnestly “HEAR” Him.

The sentence’s significance I was pondering, God was unquestionably declaring. Not only did I feel compelled to listen, I felt directly discipled to share. As I take up my pencil to do so, I pray God does the talking and I’m merely His scribe cause to be forthcoming, I obviously haven’t yet prayed over this sentence and reaped its harvest. Thus, the words now jotted down are His, not His servant’s.

My daughter, I commend that for months you have focused on the present of My presence being “HERE” with you. However, you are trapped in “HERE” and forgetting My seeds of wisdom and direction are rooted in “HEAR”. Be it My personal voice or Scripture, “HERE” results in unbudging proximity, and “HEAR” evolves into moving in togetherness. In your life’s journey, getting from “HERE” to there flowers not from “HERE” but from learning to “HEAR” Me, which leads to release of fear, direction becoming clear and never doubting I am near.

Your heart has mastered “HERE”. Now trust your soul to “HEAR”. “HEAR” does not belong on a reminder app. Its essence needs never to be forgotten. Over and over again, “HEAR” should flood the messages of your life. And by the way, those weren’t emails. They were ME mails!!!

One more thing to “HEAR”, My daughter. You are not lost. You are beginning to be found.
