Inspired Moments
GOD SPEAKS THROUGH INSPIRED MOMENTS
Ps 49:3 NKJV
My mouth shall speak wisdom,
and the meditation of my heart shall give understanding.
When we hear the Lord speak THROUGH our minds, He inspires them with His Words, and we have involvement and participation in what is being said, through our personalities. People can be very inspired and led by God through their minds, and not even realize it is God speaking to them through the experience.
Often we have ideas and do not recognize them as separate from ourselves. Sometimes we think we had a brilliant flash of genius when it was really the Lord. He is wonderful to speak rational, logical ideas into our lives. They are like short power-packed sentences.
Our history is founded upon inventors’ sudden flashes of genius. They awakened in the morning with new ideas. Or when they least expected it, they found answers in a simple thought, perhaps while doing something else. Brilliant and simple people alike have been inspired by the Holy Spirit with genius ideas. It is comforting to know the Holy Spirit is bigger than an IQ!
One day I was praying about needing another filing cabinet, the problem being that we had no practical space for one. My husband said, “Why don’t you just clean out the ones we have?” Brilliant idea! Would you believe after 20 years of collecting, I threw away a 4 foot high pile of paper? Not only did I find the answer to my filing needs, but in the process of throwing things away, I found some important material I needed for publishing books. Thank You, Lord, for inspired insight.
NOTE: THROUGH OUR THOUGHTS IS NOT HIS STILL SMALL VOICE
Hearing God speak THROUGH our minds is different than hearing the Lord through His still small voice, which is an experience that happens TO us. It is a totally objective experience where we have no involvement in what is being said, nor do we know what will be said. So when God speaks TO us through His voice, we are positive it is not our own voice, it is someone else speaking and not our own thoughts. That voice can be the Lord, the Holy Spirit, the Father, angels, as well as demonic spirits.
WORD TO PONDER: MOMENTS OF INSPIRATION
There are times of visitation when I breathe upon you an inspiration for My Word. It is important that you learn to respond to these revelatory moments, for they come and go even as the wind passes through the trees. If you wait until you have a better time to respond, then the freshness of the moment is gone and the passion along with it. This is the nature of the anointing, it strikes when the iron is hot.
I may direct you to jot a note, speak into a recorder, write a letter, make a phone call, say a prayer, share a teaching or any number of things, – all prompted by My anointing. I have reasons behind My impeccable timing. You are not given to see all that takes places in the spirit world when you respond to My prompting. Therefore, when I place a message upon your heart, respond to it when you feel the passion, and resist procrastination. Learn to flow with My Spirit and you shall have great satisfaction.
“The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord and he delighteth in his way.” (Ps 37:23 KJV)
ASSIGNMENT:
If you are experiencing a problem that needs a logical, orderly answer, pray and ask God to give you an inspired thought that leads you to the right answer. Often the answer to a problem is in the revealing of a very simple key. The key is not the answer, but it opens a door to find the answer. Finding a useful key is not as threatening as finding the answer! Ask God to inspire the key to open the right door to find your answer.
