Are they speaking from the Heart of the Lord?

Good Monday Morning Coffee everyone😄! I hope everyone is doing amazing. As for myself, I would like to first apologize for my inconsistency. Life has just been exhausting. I currently changed jobs, thinking it would be less exhausting only to find out that cleaning houses are just as exhausting, lol. I just have to face the reality that my body does not run like it use to. So I’m going to try my hand at UBER 🤷🏾‍♀️. Also, wanted to invite ya’ll to my new Wednesday blog called, “Happy Gains”💪🏾! This is something I have been working on for a while. It’s about encouraging ya’ll to achieve your goals. So, I hope you all will also join the Wednesday conversation as well. So, now if you’re ready, then grab something yummy to drink ☕️, and let’s start the conversation.

So for today’s conversation, I would like to discuss the heart behind the voice. This conversation comes from a recent discussion that I had with a couple of people. I shared some personal things with this someone and my hope was to get some encouragement or along those lines but I only felt terrible and upset that I even shared in the first place.

One of the things that were said caught me totally off guard (and no I’m not going to share what was said). A lot times a person may be thinking that they are speaking from the Lord but it could be totally from their flesh. I have notice that when someone is sharing a rebuke or concern, I can still sense the Love of God through their message. With this particular person I felt harshness, no love. After that conversation, the other person that was with me, thought the conversation was great and even when I later shared how I did not want to speak to the other person, they said I needed to be careful how I spoke about this person because of the “relationship with the God”. But I thought, aren’t we all called to tested the spirits. Which I felt like that person was trying to invoke fear in me.

This reminds me of that religious mindset that keeps people afraid to question if what they’re hearing is really from the Lord. Which if they choose to live in that type of fear, then they usually end up dull and religious and never truly becoming all of what the Lord wants them to become. Two things that helped me come out of religion is one: It’s okay to test the spirits and trust what your discerning and two: trust that the Lord is able to lead on the right path if you happen to take a wrong turn.

I believe the Lord is helping me to rely more on what I’m discerning and less on just taking things at face value. Sure, someone may seem sweet and innocent but your spirit-man is picking up on something that isn’t so obvious in the natural. The Holy Spirit is giving us that discernment in order to be aware and take certain precautions. So don’t ignore those things and if you feel confused in some way then share what you are confused about with the Lord and also maybe with another mature brother or sister in the LORD. I had to do this because what was discerning versus what I was seeing had me at odds. But after I spoke with a brother and sister I got clarity.

So, today’s conversation is about encouraging you to not be afraid to take what your discerning as serious. Please don’t be like me who would at times ignore certain things and wonder why I feeling frustrated after bypassing it. Remember that although you’re in the natural, you still are a spiritual being who can sense what’s going on the spiritual realm.

Side Note: You are a spiritual being.

Monday question: What have you been discerning that you have not been taking serious? (please keep to yourself and bring it to God)

So, remember to take it one day at a time, stay encouraged in the Lord, and remember that God loves you sooooo much, so love Him back!
