Did He Speak?

Well, July is now over and we’ve completed our month of prayer and fasting. We’ve prayed for people and programs; for our church, our community, our country, and all of our leaders. Did you hear from God? Did the Holy Spirit speak to you in any perceptible way? If so, I would ask that you follow the leading of that voice to the very best of your ability. If needed, seek clarification, seek further direction, seek how God wants to use you to implement his will and know that your work has just begun. If you did not hear from God, I would ask that you continue to fast and pray. While God has spoken to several of us this past month, God moves in his time, not ours. I am not so sure you should intensify your efforts, but I do think God would have you continue. Continue to seek his face, seek his will for you, listen for his voice in Scripture, in the words of others, in that moment you are all alone. God longs to be in relationship with each of us and a major part of every successful relationship is communication. I truly believe God longs to move in our communities and we are the only thing holding him back, for God will not move until we seek, discern, and surrender to his divine purpose.
