The Voice of the Holy Spirit

But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD.

MICAH 3:8

I don’t have a compartmentalized life; I have an interconnected life. There are not enough hours in a twenty-four-hour day to fulfill a supernatural destiny. Therefore, I have to draw on supernatural empowerment from a supernatural God to fulfill a supernatural destiny and walk in peace and love.

I see my life as a wheel and all parts of my life spoke from the hub in the middle of that wheel. I find that as long as I aim for that hub that is Jesus every day, the wheel will keep turning. The oil that keeps the wheel spinning smoothly is the Holy Spirit. As I keep my ear inclined to the Spirit, he will tell me which spoke needs more attention on any given day. He will keep the wheel spinning; I do not have to spend my time paying attention to every detail but simply be obedient. I ask, “God, where do I need to focus my time?”

If I am in the right place in my spirit, it is amazing how much I will hear God tell me about what is going on and what I need to pay attention to. I need the voice of the Holy Spirit speaking in my heart. Jesus does not expect us to try to live a supernatural destiny using natural means. He gave us the Holy Spirit as our helper to do just that . . . help us.
