A CALL TO HIGHER LEVELS OF SENSITIVITY AND WALKING SOFTLY*Isaiah 55:6 Seek the LORD while He may be found, Call upon Him while He is near.**Isaiah 45:15 Truly You [are] God, who hide Yourself...*There are moments in our walk with God when there are promptings and stirrings of the Holy Spirit to call on His Name. Those are the moments when God has drawn nigh to you; however, there are moments when He hides. The Bible tells us to be sensitive to these moments when He is near and take advantage of the Holy Spirit, because in such moments, every help we need is given to us. Each one of us needs to discern such moments because God brings them to do things that will result in a multiplied effect. In such moments, He doesn't respond like He does for usual prayers, because those are divine (kairos) moments where your timing and heaven's have come together. As a body of Christ, the Lord is telling us, 'I am here, come and seek Me.' All we have to do is abandon all other programs and pay attention to His voice.*Psalms 145:18 The LORD [is] near to all who call upon Him, To all who call upon Him in truth.* God delights in revealing Himself to us, but our response is key. Throughout the scriptures, God always revealed Himself to people such as Moses, Joshua, Paul, etc.There are seasons when Jesus just whispers, and that is where we are at the moment. God is calling us to walk sensitively and softly. *Luke 19:41-42 Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, "If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things [that] [make] for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes.*This city was blinded, unable to discern the significance of the moment. In stark contrast, the woman at the well in John 4 demonstrated remarkable discernment. As Jesus revealed Himself to her, she recognized the moment and responded accordingly. She dropped her water pot, symbolizing her willingness to let go of old ways and habits that hadn't brought lasting change in her life. I believe it's time for us to follow her example, to stop engaging in activities that haven't transformed our lives and habits that don't glorify Jesus.Each one of us needs to answer this call by coming to a place of sincerity and honesty in our hearts as we walk with God, especially in this season. We must tell the Lord, "Father, You've come so close, my life has to change. I want to be everything You designed my life to be. I drop my water pot; give me water that will change my life forever." Even as we do so, let us remember that He is a Spirit of truth and responds only to truth. We can't pretend before Him, for all things, including our hearts, lie bare before His eyes. Like Gideon in Judges 6:13, let's cry out to Him with humility and dependence, "Lord, I need Your help."*Further Reading*Deuteronomy 4:7Jeremiah 2:13*STAY BLESSED AND HIGHLY FAVORED, WE LOVE YOU.
