Nobody will be able to harm you if you know God’s voice and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit

Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ! Welcome to our „Daily Word for Spiritual Edification”!

 

Yesterday we talked about the benefits of listening to God’s voice. Based on several passages from John (10), we learned that when we hear God’s voice, God goes ahead of us and leads us, teaching us to discern His voice. God also teaches us to distinguish His voice from the voices of strangers. When we hear God’s voice we will enjoy eternal life that Christ has brought us. Besides, when we learn to hear and discern God’s voice, we will enjoy God’s supernatural protection.

 

Today we will look at some other blessings that come into our lives when we learn to hear His voice. Let’s turn to the Bible. 

 

«Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He teaches sinners in the way. The humble He guides in justice, and the humble He teaches His way. All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth, to such as keep His covenant and His testimonies. For Your name’s sake, O LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great. Who is the man that fears the LORD? Him shall He teach in the way He chooses, He himself shall dwell in prosperity, and his descendants shall inherit the earth. The secret of the LORD is with those who fear Him, and He will show them His covenant. My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net». Psalm (25:8-15).

 

The verses above tell us about certain advantages that are made available to us because of the leading of the Holy Spirit and knowing God’s voice.

 

  • Your soul will dwell in prosperity and your descendants will inherit the earth.

Being led by the Holy Spirit is the source of true prosperity. Prosperity implies success in all areas of life. If you are a student, you will be successful, because God will teach to you all things necessary. God will show you the way He has chosen for you. God will reveal to you His secrets. Secrets are information that is hidden from the others, but open for you. It is precisely the knowing God’s secrets that make us successful. The Lord’s secrets are able to transform any ordinary person into a great person in every area of life, whether farming or parenting, preaching or leading a home group, treating people medically or any other activity. God has secrets that will make us great wherever we are.

 

  • God’s supernatural protection.

God plucks our feet out of the net:

«My eyes are ever toward the LORD, for He shall pluck my feet out of the net» (Psalm, 25:15).

 

A net is an enemy’s trap for your soul that is meant to destroy or restrict you. But when you follow the leading of the Holy Spirit, God does not only give you prosperity, but He also protects you. That is why it says in the Bible that God’s blessings make us rich and add no sorrow to our lives:

 

«The blessing of the LORD makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it» (Proverbs, 10:22)

 

The Bible also states that everything God does endures forever. Nobody is able to destroy or cancel what God makes and builds. For this reason nobody was able to harm Jesus before the appointed time, when Jesus Himself gave up His soul. Jesus was protected by God the Father because he followed the leading and the guidance of the Father. This is also the reason behind His boldness and confidence as we demonstrated in the following passage:

 

 «On that very day some Pharisees came, saying to Him, “Get out and depart from here, for Herod wants to kill you.” And He said to them, „Go, tell that fox, ‘Behold, I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and the third day I shall be perfected.’ Nevertheless I must journey today, tomorrow, and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should perish outside of Jerusalem» (Luke, 13:31-33).

 

Nobody will be able to harm you if you know God’s voice and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. And then all the advantages mentioned earlier will become obvious in your life.

 

Tomorrow we will continue with this thought.

 

I wish you God’s abundant blessings!

    Let’s look at the steps that Solomon took in order to find the meaning of life. We will see what conclusions Solomon came to. The first thing Solomon turned to was acquiring of wisdom and knowledge. «I communed with my heart, saying, „Look, I have attained greatness, and have gained more wisdom than all who were before me in Jerusalem. My heart has understood great wisdom and knowledge.” And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind. For in much wisdom is much grief, and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow» (Ecclesiastes, 1:16-18).
