God’s Language

Recently I’ve been kind of silent. Then I realized I wasn’t hearing God’s whisper and it began to bother me. Had I sinned and didn’t realize it? Had I grieved the Holy Spirit in some way? “Where are you God? I can’t hear your voice.” Yesterday that was my cry. Then I heard him gently whisper…

I am speaking to you child. I speak to you probably more than I do to anyone because you listen. Open your heart. Surrender. Heart tunes are flowing~

WOW I love that…and think about it… “Heart Tunes are flowing” God speaks to our heart…He looks at our heart and it’s our heart where He dwells…music; tunes; I’ve heard it said that music soothes the savage beast…and when we want to learn to memorize something…music is the best way to do that…God is singing tunes to our heart. They flow from His heart to ours.

Last night I received a call from my dear sweet friend Sharon D. and she told me that she had, had a conversation with the Holy Spirit that day and that she had been praying for me. Also she had a similar experience about hearing God’s voice yesterday. And the Holy Spirit spoke to her too. Thank you Sharon for listening to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and for sharing your heart with me.

The point is…

God doesn’t only speak to us through whispers using words

He speaks to us through many avenues we just have to be attentive, sensitive to His language, and he speaks many languages. Word to the wise though…always check out what you’re hearing and see if it measures up with the holy scriptures…to double check what you are hearing…God’s word never lies…

There is sign language. Language, language-words spoken or written or word pictures, paintings…

He speaks through music with words, or notes sung, or played by instruments…

He speaks through nature; trees, flowers, bugs, animals, the oceans, sky and stars, sun and moon. He speaks through media and through our thoughts.

God is talking all the time but He is not intrusive, He won’t force himself on anyone.

He is a gentle soul, he is light and good. He created protocol and He has excellent manners. If you’ve read his Book, and you know him at all, you’ll know he is kind and generous and funny and is very articulate. He spoke through prophets, men and women, and the apostles…he spoke through a donkey and through a fleece, and a burning bush…He spoke through earth quakes, through rain and through fire…He speaks through history and He is past, present and future…

He knows words I’ve never heard, after all He created language.

God speaks in riddles at times. He wants us to figure things out for ourselves sometimes. That’s what great teachers do.

He’s subtle in His approach to us, and He does things in unimaginable ways; big, huge ways. It may start out as a ripple but can grow into a tsunami. He spoke, “Let there be light” and that light has never stopped it is still reaching far beyond what we can comprehend.

He may start with a nobody, that will listen to Him, causing them to end up being a New York Best Seller book, that touches lives, that would never have been touched otherwise.

God talks to street people and transforms their lives. He uses them to touch Kings and Ambassadors, Presidents, Rock stars, people who are in a position to reach millions and out of those He raises up Pastors and Teachers and Evangelists who will love Him and follow Him to accomplish His plans…He speaks to the ones, no one, ever sees, or is ever recognized, but they listened and God is glorified.

God uses every communication, that He put in minds to create, so that He could reach His creation…and He does it in ways we can’t begin to understand. We think it’s our own design but it is God’s design manifesting in us.

God is humble but magnificent~

His quiet, subdued way of speaking creates worlds, shakes mountains, raises the dead, divides lands from oceans, turns water into wine, comes in the form of a baby and changes lives. He walks through-out generations wooing men and women and children to hear His still small voice…He opens their hearts and as they ask Him to come into their hearts His Holy, Sacred Gentle Spirit enters and begins to change us from the inside out. He rejoices over us, He sings over us, He cries over us, He prays over us, and He never ever gives up on anyone. He whispers in the language we will understand.

God is not obnoxious~ He is confident and speaks with all authority. The reason He hasn’t torched this place, is because He has a love for us that will never fail nor end.

God has given us every opportunity to come close to Him. He wants us. He doesn’t push us away. We push Him away. Oh if you could only draw near to Him and see Him the way He is, not the way the enemy has portrayed Him…God is NOT IN RELIGION! He is not a set of rules or rituals…He is the, I AM!

Could a mean, hateful God put beautiful, sweet, tender music in the birds? Could He paint awesome sunsets and change seasons with a million, vibrant, amazing colors; seasons we call, summer, winter, spring and fall?

God did not give us sicknesses or diseases. He did not create wars and destruction. God is not a God of chaos. He is a God of order and peace. Words like Love; Joy; Peace; Faith; Hope; these are words God speaks, to help us , not to hurt us.

Open your heart, open your eyes and ears, pay attention to the language of God all around you. Don’t put your trust in man-made structures…don’t allow your family to be in harm’s way by shutting out the only one who truly loves you and wants to help you. God’s language does not speak fear, anger, and death.

God is life!!!

He came in the flesh of a man, the man Jesus Christ, to restore us to Himself, to restore life and relationship, to walk with us in His garden. Lies and deceit robbed God by robbing us of a relationship with the Father.

He did not want us to die~

He didn’t want us to suffer~

He still doesn’t…

He wants us to live.

Hear Him speaking to you today.

Come to me. Come with me. I want to show you a better way to live. I want to give you a good life. I want you to be happy and free from anxiety, free from debt, free from addictions, free from insecurity, free from worry and doubt. But you have to surrender your life to have life. I’m not asking you to stop being you. I’m asking you to let me make you a better you. Just as I told Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil or they would die, they ate and they died…I’m telling you, if you will accept my Son and believe that He is my son and let Him come into your heart and live in you, you will live and not die. Death entered the garden that day…but life entered through my son the day He died on that cross and ascended back to me. I’m speaking right now through the words on this page. I love you. I will not hurt you. Come on~

Love heals

Love gives

Love serves

My Love never ends…

~Papa God

God is not predictable…He loves to switch things up. Just when you think He will speak to you the same way all the time…He gives you a mystery…He gets quiet and He says….”You were looking for my whisper of words, but I want you to know I speak in many different ways and I have an untold number of languages…it gets your attention doesn’t it?”

1 Samuel 3:7-11 New International Version (NIV) Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.

A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

And the Lord said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Living Bible (TLB) Love is very patient and kind, never jealous or envious, never boastful or proud, never haughty or selfish or rude. Love does not demand its own way. It is not irritable or touchy. It does not hold grudges and will hardly even notice when others do it wrong. It is never glad about injustice, but rejoices whenever truth wins out. If you love someone, you will be loyal to him no matter what the cost. You will always believe in him, always expect the best of him, and always stand your ground in defending him.
