A small child recognizes its parent’s voice, even in the womb a baby recognizes the voice it hears the most. So what's to say that we will not recognize the voice of God? John 10:3 "He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”

Loosed
Some thoughts and Sermon notes:
There is something being loosed in my spirit. eelings are no longer going to lead me, as I grow and walk in the spirit of the Lord. Feelings can actually be deceptive, and not what the Lord has for my life. Oh how I desperately want to fall back into the arms of Jesus, but am I willing to let Him catch me? “Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.” A king who was considered a pagan had this great insight. The challenge today is to let the Lord strip away your comforts and to challenge ourselves to stop making excuses and to become more involved. Many people will run because they are afraid and letting their emotions rule over them, but God will send with you provisions! God will download into you when you need him to. So get out of your own moments and get into God's! The obedient son, Genesis 22 Isaac didn't question but listened and stayed in the moment of God, not his own, and fully trusted! God will always back us up when we step out in faith. He will always provide provisions for us. Are we doing enough? Or just barely skimming by so to not make any waves in the water? I don't want to live as if I am barely living, I want to be passionate and on fire for my Lord and Savior! I will no longer let feelings control me; I am a child of God. Fear, worry, sadness, doubt, un-sureness or anything else will not stop me from doing what the Lord has called me to do! Let the spirit of the Lord loose something within your soul, and spirit. No longer hang on to all the lies the enemy has for you! Be awakened to the truth that God has for you! You are a child of God that is loved and called according to His purpose.

Midnight thoughts
A thought came to me late last night about explaining our walk life with Chirst to people. It is not possible for any of us to be in the Word of God every second. But it is very possible for us to be in the presence of God not just daily but in every single second. let me explain this for you, once we become saved we are imparted with the holy spirit within us. What is interesting is that we think we are dragging God around with us when we are doing wrong, but really it is God trying to lead us. I actually visualize a struggle of the two trying to lead the other somewhere. When we say we love God is it just a statement or our we living it out? Daily we are making choices, and love is an active choice. Our love for God can't just be the words but the actions behind them. You will begin to choice not to do something that is not good because you love God. It is not out of fear that you try not to sin, but out of your love. The choice to be obiedent to God is because you love Him and want to please him. Every single day God is with you, where ever you go. This love is two sided as you begin to show love to God and others you will also recieve love in return. I challenge you today to fall back in love with your first love Jesus
