The Pursuit Of Purpose 8.1

Heitha Daar Everybody!

I hope you are doing excellently this lovely day!

In TPOP 8, we started out with the steps one should use to get to know The Wonderful Holy Spirit. The First thing is to know His Language, The Word of God. We will move on to the next step in time but before that, I want to explore the application of this step that we were given the last time, for clear understanding.

Let's consider a situation faced by Lerato this morning.

She had started with the step of reading The Bible and wondered what implication reading would have and how This Language Matter would be put in practice.

She had read through Proverbs chapter 1 through 5 and had closed her Bible yesterday morning. A friend of hers, Tumelo, who always talks about books saw her at the mall today and greeted her. As always, she spoke about the latest book she read and so forth. Lerato has always been bored by the way Tumelo always did that but as Tumelo continued talking, Lerato remembered some of the verses in Proverbs. 

1	My son, if thou wilt receive my words,          and hide my commandments with thee;
2	so that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom,          and apply thine heart to understanding;
3	yea, if thou criest after knowledge,          and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
4	if thou seekest her as silver,          and searchest for her as for hid treasures;
5	then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD,          and find the knowledge of God.

Something changed because she then realized that books are another place where she can acquire wisdom and since she has been looking for information about starting a particular business, she could go ahead and get it there. The Holy Spirit spoke to her in this manner and she followed the direction. He brought the scripture to her mind and there it was, the beginning of hearing Him Speak.

This is one of the ways that this happens. Perhaps what I should do now is continue with some more examples and applications of what we learned in TPOP 8 and make this very clear because many times people ask me, "How do you hear God Speak to you?"

After that, we will move on to the next step.

Here it is...
The Holy Spirit uses The Word that we read and store in our heart in giving us direction and instruction in any situation that we face. The more we read, the more He can use to lead, guide, discipline and develop us as His children.
