Time to Listen

My people, My precious and chosen ones, will you incline your ears to Me?
Will you take a moment and allow Me to speak to you? Your days are hectic; your schedule too busy; your time disorganized in relation to your God.

When you incline your ear, you will hear. When you seek Me, you will find Me. Many times are wasted because My people are too busy to listen to Me. Children, turn aside and see (Exodus 3 v 1-5).

I need you all to listen attentively, to lay aside time and allow Me to instruct you, for strategy is needed. You need to know the next steps to take and from out of the midst of My presence will flow understanding (Psalm 73 v 16&17), that you may see the way in which you should move.

Living a life for Me means to always be diligent to hear My voice. My Word speaks to you and you obey. I speak through My vessels and you listen.
Good, I am pleased. I am now asking you to come and listen to My voice speaking directly to you. Audibly . . . yes! To your spirit . . . yes! To you personally, I will reveal the plans and purposes of My heart for you and for My Church (Jeremiah 33 v 3).

I will instruct you in venturing forth, for this is the season of expansion and adventure. It is time for explosion . . . for you, My Church, to walk in the true power I have given to you.

O warriors, don't stop praying and interceding, for the prayers of the righteous man avails much (James 5 v 16-18). I move on the words of man.
Yes, you heard correctly. What comes from your mouth I can act upon and reveal Myself, not only to you but also to those around you (1 Kings 17 v 1).

I have chosen to work through man and WITH man. O Church, few have come to this understanding that I work with man. The words you speak, in faith believing, cause Me to release My power to bring to pass that, which is spoken forth. The sun stood still because Joshua, My servant, spoke . . . Church, he had authority because he knew that God worked with man (Joshua 10 v 12-14)!

To work through is to use as a channel. To work with is to work together to get a job done. I need both in operation . . . the humility and openness for My power to move through and the maturity and wisdom for us to work together. That generates power . . . through you, working with Me, nations can be changed, but an ear to hear is vital, to listen to My voice in this time.

Incline your ears to Me O Church, for great plans lay ahead for you walk in, but how will you move into them without first listening to My instructions?

I love you My Church, I love you !

Every blessing to you all,
Yours in Christ,
Andrew
