Downloads from God



6-20-12

Child, it was not long ago that you were staring at death in the pot (2 Kings 4:40). Now that you have heard and heeded My still, small voice, you find yourself standing in rich, good pasture -- in land that is broad, quiet, and peaceful (1 Chronicles 4:40). Two verses 4:40; it is an echo, and, by My Holy Spirit, you hear the echo, you rejoice in it, for you know it is from Me. Noticing echoes like this is an example of living Life by My Spirit rather than by self-effort. Isn’t it better this way, My daughter? Are not these blessings greater than your manmade “net” could ever catch? I hear your “YES, Lord!” and am well-pleased that you have found My fruit so sweet. And so simple! As you have heard it said many times, "Walk in childlike faith, for My yoke is easy and My burden is light."

  1. "Noticing echoes like this is an example of living Life by My Spirit rather than by self-effort." We all should live in such a way that we notice when God speaks to us. When He tells us something a second time, it behooves us to listen.

  2. Thank you so much! I had tried sending you a note to apologize for being asleep at the wheel and missing your prior comments. I just got so used to nobody commenting! Now I will check daily. Promise!
