Hey girls,
Lynn Buckner wanted to share that another great book is, "The Vision of His Glory" by Anne Graham Lotz. I took this study on Revelation years ago, excellent study! Enjoy! It's either a six or eight week study, it's been so long I've forgotten.
Blessings!

New Book & Site
Girls,
One of the books by Priscilla that I ordered came in today. The title of it, "And We Are Changed", Encounters with a Transforming God. Of course I haven't started reading it yet because I'm afraid I'll get side-tracked from writing and I want to complete that. Please be in prayer for me.
Also, the new site that I told you about last night is

"In a Pit with a Lion on a Snowy Day" by Mark Batterson
"God's Secret to Greatness" by Tommy Tenney & David Cape
"Believing God" by Beth Moore
"Just Give me Jesus" by Anne Graham Lotz
"Beautiful Offering" by Angela Thomas

So Long for Now
Hey girls,
What a fabulous study and what a blessing to learn how we can Discern the Voice of our God together. It has been an honor to study and learn along side of you all. This can't be the end of time together so we'll just call it our "break".
Be sure and register with someone at the church for Jimmie's new study, "Search for Significance". It's my understanding that the class is seven weeks long, afterwards, maybe we can hook up again. Be in prayer.
I thought it would be neat since we had so much wonderful food last night to post the recipes if you don't mind sharing. If you do, the rest of us will be praying for you!! Just teasin'. As soon as you get them to me, I'll post them.
Love you all and looking forward to our next time together. So long for now!
Kim

Phil. 2:13-Be Energized!
"It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure."
This is the verse for today. Before coming to work this morning I wrote this verse over and over again in my notebook as a way of trying to memorize scripture in hopes that it will take root in me and be available whenever God puts me in the path of someone who just might need to be reminded of His Word for their situation.
I want to try and understand the best that I can so that I can apply it to my life. When looking a little closer at the original word for "work" which is "energeo (en-erg-eh'-o). Looking at the original word we see the word "energy". One of the definitions is, "put forth power". The word, "will" comes from the original word, "thelo" (thel'-o) which means, "to have in mind, intend." The original word for "pleasure" is "eudokia (yoo-dok-ee'ah) which means, "will, choice 2) delight, pleasure, satisfaction 3) desire; 3a) for delight in any absent thing easily produces longing for it." I loved this part of the definition.
I get energized just thinking about the Energizer who is at work in me!!!
Blessings,
Kim

So, making it personal and applicable, It is God who is putting forth His power in you and me because He intentionally chooses to use us to bring Himself delight. Just think, God of all gets satisfaction and delights in us, His chosen and all along He's the energy behind it all. Talkin' about coming full circle!
I get energized just thinking about the Energizer who is at work in me!!!

Week Six-"Responding to God's Voice"
Can you believe that we are at the end of this outstanding study? It has been an amazing journey, one that I pray we will never forget.
I will continue to post on my blog so I hope you'll stick around for awhile.
Speaking of "hope", don't forget, Hold On Past the Evidence! It's not about what is evident, it's Who we hold on to past the evidence! He's a sure thing!
Notes from Priscilla's commentary:
Week Six-“Responding to God’s Voice”
2 Kings 5:11
Naaman was furious and went away and said, “Behold, I thought, (we do too much thinking and have too many preconceived ideas) He will surely come out to me (PRIDE) and stand and call on the name of the Lord his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.”
Notes from Priscilla’s commentary:
God does not speak simply to be heard BUT obeyed.
What do I do with the responsibility of doing what I’m told? Naaman felt like there were better rivers to bathe in than that of the Jordon.
Am I committed to obedience?
We think we know how God will communicate to us. We present ourselves to God as if we deserve different than what He chooses for us.
Boxes limit our awareness of God. They don’t limit God—they do, however, confine us. Am I so full of pride that I can’t be filled with the Spirit?
You won’t always get goose bumps—instead you might be upset by what you hear from God. Sometimes we miss out on God because we’re expecting signs and wonders more than we anticipate His words. Am I more enticed by the wonders of God than the Word of God?
Delayed obedience: Delays God’s power and supernatural results. Obedience will yield supernatural results.
She made reference to 1 Kings 19.

Still, Small Voice
Lora Fuller gave me this and I wanted to post it as it relates so much to Discerning the Voice of God. Thanks Lora for sharing!
"God speaks in all sorts of ways. Sometimes He reveals His will to us by an impression. Sometimes He speaks by an inner voice. Sometimes we can hear Him speaking through the voice of a stranger, a friend, the words of a song, a thought from a book, a verse of Scripture.
Rushed urgings are usually of the enemy. God's Spirit may "hound" you by softly and repeatedly bringing something to mind, but be suspicious of anything that makes you feel driven or in any way obsessed. The voice of the Good Shepherd is gentle, familiar sounding and loving. It leaves you with a sense of spiritual uplift and rejoicing, never fright (John 10:3-5, 14-16, 27-28)."
God's Voice:
Stills you
Leads you
Reassures you
Enlightens you
Encourages you
Comforts you
Calms you
Convicts you
Satan's Voice:
Rushes you
Pushes you
Frightens you
Confuses you
Discourages you
Worries you
Obsesses you
Condemns you
