“….after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire there was the sound of a gentle whisper.” 1 Kings 19:12 NLT
‘The Whisper of the Holy Spirit’…..
When you think of the whisper of the Holy Spirit – I wonder what that conjures up in your heart and mind! I should think that many of you have been in the position, at some point in your walk with Lord, when you have almost felt desperate for an answer to some question or situation that you find yourself in. When that’s happened to me – there has been such a desire in me to hear the answer loud and clear from God, giving me a certainty of what He wanted. And there were times when He did give me very clear indication of what He wanted!
Learning to Listen
As I’ve got older I’ve learned that, although the Lord wants me to be ‘in the know’ concerning what He wants for me going forward; He hasn’t always been so clear in His communication! I’ve needed to learn to listen more carefully with my heart and spirit, as to what He’s saying to me.
Elijah – Waiting to Hear from God
This was the situation with Elijah. He was fresh from the ‘fire and brimstone’ confrontation with the prophets of Baal – and he really needed to hear from God as to what was next on the agenda! Elijah waited and listened through the wind, the earthquake and the fire – but there was nothing….. And then – then came the whisper of the Holy Spirit – and he heard, listened and communed with his God.
Precious Whispers
Those ‘whispers’ of the Holy Spirit are always so precious. I would encourage you to ask the Lord to help you to hear His whispers – and all that He wants to say to you! I still find it amazing that the Almighty God loves me enough to actually communicate with me on a one-to-one basis! Hallelujah!!
God bless 🙏❣️
