John 16:13 (Nlt) When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future.
In the same way, the Holy Spirit gives us warnings, a nudge in our spirit to keep quiet, to not go a certain way, to stop watching a certain programme, or to not work such long hours, to not see so much of someone, or to not have yet another chocolate today!😊 If we’re wise we’ll heed the warnings, the nudges, the feeling of not having any peace about something, and we’ll not do whatever we had planned.
God gives us warnings through scriptures, through other people, even in our sleep, our dreams. When I used to keep the books for our small business the Lord would wake me right up in the middle of the night and I’d know I’d forgotten to do something important!
Is there anything you can think of where you’ve lost your peace about it? If so, heed the warning sign and don’t pursue it because God is trying to protect you from harm, not trying to spoil your fun. So often we try to justify why we want to do or say something, when we know it would be wiser to keep quiet, or not do it!
The Holy Spirit is talking to us all the time but if we’re too busy to listen we might miss the still small voice giving us the warning, showing us the sign that would protect us from danger or heartbreak. God wants us to give Him time so we can be prepared for whatever is coming our way.
It can work for our family members too. I know of one lady who asked the Holy Spirit to warn her of anything coming the way of her children which would harm them, so she could pray for them in advance to be protected or helped to avoid what the enemy had planned against them.
So this is just an encouragement to be listening for the still small voice and give God the time to let you know if there’s something you need to know!😊
