God's Power Working Through Us

He has the master plan of your life don't underestimate him.

Understand the concept that God is working through us

Understand the concept that God is working through us

Some might say they feel like they are nothing like they are simply worthless but know this guys that God knows us, has a purpose for us and even more is working through us this very second. Can you believe that since the day you are born that God made a modification of your cell, each one of them for a great purpose.  Maybe the thought is just crazy and wild how could someone so small and worthless has so much value in God’s eyes that he is working through me, what? The craziest thing I’ve ever heard. And oh he is planning on doing great things through me? Wow that must be crazy right.

Yeah.

Many of you have ambitions in life and everyday you are working your butt off to get there and now hearing that God is in control of your life and able to change it scares you? No, don’t be. God doesn’t work that way the things you are building now will result into something great, greater than you have ever imagined. Maybe things wouldn’t go as planned all the time but God will provide something greater. So don’t worry!

Can I just remind you one more time that God is working in you, through you this very moment? He is building his kingdom on earth and you get to be in that process what could you ask for more? It’s a great thing. He will be using you in all sorts of things through your life and profession, you don’t necessarily need to be a pastor you could be a teacher and you will tell students of how great God’s glory is, or maybe be a nurse and teach children on god’s love by showing your love and patience. So be ready and aware at all times!

God is working on 10,000 things in your life and maybe you are only aware with 3 of them.

The 4s

The key to hearing God's voice is to complete the 4S's.
-Stillness / Silence
-Solitude
-Simplicity
-Surrender
The most important step is to surrender our lives to God. It means that we must let Him into our soul and let Him decide what’s best for us. In order to stay focus your mind with God, you need simplicity, which means that you need to be calm. To help us focus on doing this, we will need solitude, which has a definition of the state of being alone. It’s is very important for us to be alone while hearing God’s voice because we need to be away from all the distraction that exist around us. The last one is stillness / silence, again this will help us focus even more. This will help us set our mind to God. By doing the 4S’s correctly, you will have a better relationship with Him and be closer to Him.

But this is not necessarily required to hear Gods voice but it sure is recommended. Through praying and the bible God can speak to you in languages you never know possible.

HEARING AND LISTENING

 From what have been discussed previously this video will clarify more on how listening and hearing is two different things.

Example: Cheating (DON'T CHEAT)

Cheating

This overly used term in high school where everybody is just like- you cheated? Oh my high five me too! Something that is not to be proud of became something talked about and even to be proud of. So before I start cheating is getting rewarded for something dishonest and while you sit there and think that it has no coloration with understanding that God is working through you and listening to God’s voice (the blogs main topic) it actually does. A LOT!

For teenagers cheating is an irresponsible and quick way to resolve a problem that may lead to unfair results.  Maybe for the moment yeah it might be a good solution, a fantastic one even but I believe most of cheating is based on frustration and hopelessness.

Giving a homeless person 100 dollars doesn’t make him rich and doesn’t make you poor. It is exactly like cheating on a test, I mean copying someone else’s answers doesn’t make you any smarter. This is where hearing God’s voice comes in, by hearing Gods voice that doesn’t mean he is going to tell you the answers to the test but he could remind you of what you have studied or even help you have choices on the exam logically this might seem supernatural but it’s really not God is just miraculous and real.

On those exam days where you are about to give up on well, life! You have to remember that through the things you do and the things you go through God is working on you toward the shinning future he planned for you, like you never imagined. Like when you are studying biology and everything just pretty much seem useless know that God must have a purpose and nothing will go to waste because He is Him and He wouldn’t want to waste his time.
