We are walking together through Soul Revolution and we are participating in the 60/60 Experiment. We are reading the book and setting alarms. What this does is interrupt our natural habit of going through the day ignoring God. We are using this to train us to realize that God is always with us and that He wants to be a part of our life, our day, and each moment. God wants to do life with us. God wants to be hour helper, guide, counselor and friend. He will be all of that if we will seek to stay connected to Him.
It is not too late to join us. Get a book in the coffee bar. If you want to walk through this with a group, respond to this email and I can recommend a good group to you. It is never too late to begin experiencing a relationship with God that is moment-by-moment and day-by-day where we actually hear from God.
And that may be the real question. Does God speak? If I get in this relationship with God, if I get connected to God, how do I know that what I am hearing is from God? How do I know that it is God? Well, it may be difficult to know when it is God. Maybe the way God speaks, in this broken world, is a different kind of way and if we keep ourselves distracted and noisy and busy maybe we never learn to hear. That is why we see this phrase throughout the Bible. From Genesis to Revelation we see the phrase, “any one with ears to hear should listen and understand.” What it means is that there is a spiritual kind of hearing and understanding that we must tune our spiritual ears to. Learning how to hear from God is what we hope to discover this Sunday as we continue with Soul Revolution. I look forward to seeing you then.
And…don’t forget…
