Listening to God

Joyce Meyer Ministries says however, he said — this is so great! — however, he said, — this is in John 16 — he said, “I will send the spirit of truth and he will come to be with you and in you, and when the spirit of truth comes, he will guide you.” Isn’t that a cool word? Not “beat you with it.” He will guide you into all truth, and he will transmit to you everything that is mine from the father because it’s all for you and I want you to have it all. But see, God could only release the blessing part of this package to us as we grow in the word, but the more we grow in the word, the more he can release to us.

Joyce Meyer said that so he sends the Holy Spirit into our life to continually bring us up higher and higher and higher and higher and higher and higher. There’s just something about God telling you what’s wrong with you that’s so much better than a person having to tell you. Now I know there are people thinking, “well, yeah, but what if people aren’t listening to God?” Chances are if they won’t listen to him, they won’t listen to you either but, you know, if you want to make yourself miserable and wear yourself out, just have at it. You can ruin all the relationships you want to by telling everybody what’s wrong with them 25 times a day.

According to Joyce Meyer Ministries that It even makes it worse when you can say, “the bible says…” Now, that doesn’t mean that there are not times when we should talk to people about behavior, but I’ll be honest with you — most of the time that’s not going to do you a whole lot of good unless there’s a relationship that’s been built. We are getting pretty pathetic at relationships in this nation.

Joyce Meyer – I said we are getting pretty pathetic at relationships in this nation because we are so busy climbing the corporate ladder of success and multi- tasking and making money and owning things and stressing out over our busy schedules and trying to impress one another.
