The word that I am hearing now is to be conscious of, and listen for, the Voice of God no matter what I am doing.  I was telling myself that I needed to be still so that I could hear from the Father.  My thought was that I needed to go sit on the couch, get still and let the Spirit speak.   

As I sat there waiting, my Lord said: 

“Why do you think that you need to come in here and sit down in order to hear My Voice?  Your mind is already on Me.  You are not resting in this moment, but you’re projecting to another time when you are thinking that you need to find time in the future to sit down in order to hear me.  Listen for my voice in whatever you are doing.  I tell you that you can hear My Voice in the midst of a storm, whatever that storm might be in your life.  

If I were calling you to be still, you would know that drawing.  But if I am not calling you to be still, you will not find My Voice by stopping the flow of activity and trying to sit down and be still.  The place of stillness is in your thoughts.  When you are dwelling in thoughts of fear, doubt or unbelief, then you may well need to sit down and get still in order to hear My Voice.  But when you are dwelling in the mind of love and trusting that I will work in your behalf as you are taking care of the actions at hand, you will hear Me when I speak.

You need only to stay conscious of My Spirit and keep your mind in the present moment.  In this awareness I can lead you in every activity that you are doing.    

When you start to look at all the items you have on your to do list and your thoughts start to become overwhelmed, remember to come back to the truth and re-affirm the faith you have in Me to accomplish through you all that needs to be accomplished.  Surely I will perform through you all that truly matters for that day.”    

It is easy for me to tell when my mind is dwelling in the truth.  I need only look at the thoughts I am thinking.  When I am moaning and groaning in my mind regardless of what the situation is about, I can safely bet that I am not living in the Christ Mind.  Once I realize this, if I choose to stay in those thoughts then I am only prolonging my own exit from the hell I am creating in my mind.   

However, when I stop those negative thoughts and refuse to allow my mind to focus on hate, jealousy, envy, strife, judgments, and condemnation toward others; then I am releasing the Holy Spirit to do Its work to bring me into a totally different state of mind.  The truth then returns and my attitudes and emotions are transformed, both towards myself and towards all humanity. 

I know the power of this truth because it is my experience in my life.  My thoughts have at times tried to take me into not having faith at all in the Father and HIS promises unto us.. However, when I rose up and stopped those thoughts, I was able to experience the love that flows to all of creation.  In my own strength I cannot stop the thoughts. But by giving myself to the truth of my being and allowing that Holy Spirit to live and move and have Its being through me, to me and as me; then I am instantly set free to soar on thoughts of truth and love. Hallelujah!

Love and Life to all,
