II"},"content":{"rendered":"Greetings to you, dear friends!\n\nPraise the Lord for this day that He has given us! I am grateful to God for another opportunity to be filled with His living Word!\n\nYesterday, we began to talk about whether we hear what God is saying to us.\n\nWe found out that we are continually hearing someone&#8217;s voice. The voice of our common sense is especially loud. God is Spirit; therefore, we cannot understand God with our minds.\n\nApart from the voice of our common sense, we often hear the voice of our feelings. Feelings, too, have a voice. But this voice does not always reflect what God is saying either. Our feelings change; quite often they depend on external factors &#8211; our mood, the weather, how tired we are, and so on. If we listen only to our feelings, we lose any chance of consistent success.\n\nFor instance, you may often feel lonely, weak, unloved, like a failure, and so on. Nevertheless, such feelings often do not correspond to reality. If you are led by your feelings and accept them as truth, you will not be able to enjoy the abundant life that God has prepared for you. God gives this life only to those who hear His voice and follow Him!\n<h6>\u201cMy sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of My hand.\u201d (John 10:27-28).<\/h6>\nIn order to live a stable and happy life in God, it is important that you learn to ignore the voice of your feelings and listen to God&#8217;s voice. If the Word of God is the basis for every one of your actions, then your feelings will start to change and come into line with the truth of God&#8217;s Word, whatever those feelings might be. Feelings always follow our thoughts and submit to our right actions. Our feelings are servants, and they are subject to our will, decisions and actions.\n\nMany people are led by the voice of their feelings; therefore they are not stable in God, and God cannot reach them and give them life in abundance. When you follow the voice of your feelings, Satan can often lead you away from God and from the right path. Those who follow the voice of their feelings often experience disappointment and depression. Allowing the voice of your feelings to lead you means putting yourself into difficult circumstances that you cannot cope with, instead of overcoming those circumstances.\n\nWe will continue this topic tomorrow, when we will learn which voices claim to rule over our lives and which of these voices is the only true voice.\n\nWith the peace of God!\n\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Apart from the voice of our common sense, we often hear the voice of our feelings.
