Many of you are simply going through the motions of life. The initial drive and determination you once had to believe God and to stand on His Word are gone. Yes, you are getting up in the morning, going to work and coming home; but that is it. You are only doing the things you need to do to make it, but you are not going beyond that. You don’t have the energy or the spiritual strength you once had. When you hear or read a scripture that tells you “you can make it” or “God will make a way,” you are not excited because you feel as if you heard it before and that the word does not work. But you must pick yourself up and believe again. You can not stop believing and trusting in God and his Word. Your season and your time is coming.

When God speaks Apostle Tracey Robinson Personal Touch International Ministry
Today this is why the coming of the Lord is taken so likely by so many. We have been hearing this all or most of our life that the Lord is soon to return. We want to hear about His coming and all the pleasures of Heaven that is due to us; when in fact we must repent and be born again and live a lifestyle of holiness and righteousness according to His Will while on this Earth.
Many teachings about Kingdom living are being taught here on Earth, but how is this so when people (the believers) are not and have not been delivered, sanctified, and have not declared holiness? This type of teaching without God’s prescribed order will portray a false picture as to who we will have to be in order to live in the Kingdom of God. This is a form of slackness according to man concerning God’s Promises.
Slackness means not firm, careless, slow, not active, or letting up.
Another form of slackness is mankind’s word is no longer recognized as being his bond of truth. Mankind today will speak a word(s) to you with no real intention of honoring it or fulfilling their obligation or promise, while they are yet speaking it. P a g e | 5
The world today is taking God’s longsuffering and His Mercies for granted.
Instead of obeying God and His Word, mankind has based his whole life upon time, circumstances, money, ambition, and materialistic things. No one knows their exact time except God Himself for all mankind.
When God speaks we must use obedience as one of the tools in the plan of salvation to know and understand His Will for us and our lives.
When God speaks we must be in a place of humility to perceive His grace and mercy toward us in the Word He has spoken.
When God speaks what is your first response? It should be willingness and obedience to what He has spoken.
Willingness and Obedience is our import to God, as He export His Word in Spirit and in Truth in us.
Once you have heard Him with the clarity you need in understanding what He would have you to do, what do you do then? Or do you do anything with what He has said?
Where are you in hearing and obeying the Word and Will of God? Based upon where you are, can God speak to you there?
Lastly,
REMEMBER what Jesus said, if you love me you will keep my words; you will hide them in your heart; you will say what the Word says and have faith in the Word, etc.
Being willing and obedience are keys to “knowing God’s Will” for your life.
Obedience is important for your divine protection. God provides protection and provisions through obedience.
It is God that controls the details of our journey, but it is through our choices that we make outside of His Will that will bring in the many of the consequences we must bear. It is because we really don’t know enough about where we are going to plan the details of our life as the Lord God does. So sit back and hear the guidance of God as He speaks to you.
We need to believe in Jesus Christ, have faith in Him and trust Him.
With all of that and the Word of God will bring us into willingness, obedience, faithfulness, love, and all the fruit of the Spirit combined. Try it! P a g e | 6
Don’t be afraid to go through your test, trials, and tribulations, especially when God has already spoken His Word to you beforehand. They are only designed to make you or perfect you, if you will in Him.
Count your test, trials, tribulations, afflictions, and sacrifices as part of your blessings that have been designed to make and mold you into the image of His Son Jesus Christ in His Full Stature. Count it all joy! James 1:2-3.
In the end of them all, we will come out as refined gold, with a testimony about His Goodness and how the Lord has delivered us from our enemy – YOU; along with the snares of this life that we have created and have been lured into through choice and influences.
STOP! Trying to tell the devil what he should believe in, when in fact you do not believe in the Word yourself. When you believe, you will resist the devil and he will flee through the use of the Word of God.
The devil knows the Word and trembles, James 2:19.
STOP! Trying to cast out devils with the Word with NO FAITH in it and with NO DELIVERANCE in your life.
The Word of God cannot be used at your will, in other words when you deem it as necessary.
The Word of God requires a lifestyle that is in accordance to God, His Will, and His Word; not a lifestyle in accordance to human reasoning or the influence of others.
The Word of God requires having a relationship with God and His Word.
How blessed are we when the Lord don’t have to “pull and tug” after us, because we are willing and obedient to His Voice when He speaks.
Mankind cannot move God with the things they do or say; with their form, fashion, and traditional way of doing.
GOD has standards and is only moved by His Word and when we give it back to Him His Word. Then will you be able to hear Him when He speaks and know what to do.
