God created the universe with speaking . . . “Let there be . . . ”
Today, through Jesus Christ, He lives in you. How do you learn to hear Him speaking into your heart, and really know it’s Him?
Kingdom Faith Ministries International is devoted to helping God’s people learn to hear and obey His still small voice. Deuteronomy 8 declares that God’s purpose in having His people wander in the wilderness for 40 years was to learn to hear and live by every word that proceeded from His mouth.
God is still speaking, and like the Israelites, we must learn how to hear Him with confidence and precision. Are you eager to hear what the Lord Jesus Christ is speaking today to those who have discovered how to find Him in the secret place and drink from His fountain of Living Water? He will invite you to sit on His throne if you overcome in the pursuit of hearing His voice (Revelation 3:21).

How easy it is to identify with Jonah. The revelation given to him by God repulsed his sense of political correctness. How could God show mercy and favor to such abhorrent people as the Ninevites? They were cruel warriors and taskmasters. They followed unholy agendas. They personified evil.
What if God sent you on an assignment to present a word from the Lord to those whose politics you despise? Would you seek escape to Mars, or some other edge of the solar system as Tarshish seemed to Jonah?
Jonah didn't fit into the pagan mold of his fellow seafarers. Yet they suffered him for a while, until in their fear they derived a solution. They threw him overboard. The seas became calm, and they worshipped God. Huh?
Jonah sank into the weeds. His last breath expired. As the weeds wrapped around his head, he was scooped up and swallowed by a big fish. Yet he prayed one last prayer. God had ears to hear.
Have we ever run from God's direction and wound up in deep trouble, or continuing struggles? The solution will always involve turning back to God, and away from disobedience. His plan always has redemptive purposes. If we are following it we will see His favor in amazing ways. But if we are disobedient we often encounter more weeds.
God has destiny for each one of His children. What is yours? He longs to show each one of us, from within the secret place of the Most High. He's waiting to share how special you are to Him, and how enthusiastic He is about the future that He has for you and your family.
Why not have an encounter with Him today that will change your life?
In America, each November we celebrate a national holiday called Thanksgiving. Initiated in 1863 during the height of the bloody Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln called all Americans to prayer, reminding them that even in the midst of dark days, there is much to be thankful for.
As Christians, we should practice gratitude to God every day. While the world continues to spin out of control and uncertainty looms at every turn, praise and gratitude to God keeps us grounded in His presence. When anxiety knocks on our hearts’ door, being thankful leads us to His peace.
Ephesians 5:20 tells us to give thanks always to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Scripture
reminds us of numerous benefits to a having a thankful heart, affecting our total well-being—mentally, physically, and spiritually.
Thankfulness helps us grow in godliness and contentment, which brings great gain (1 Tim. 6:6). It protects our hearts from the deceitfulness of sin, and the effects of a hostile world.
Gratitude extinguishes anxiety and pity parties, and replaces them with a cheerful heart.
Numerous studies reveal how thankfulness strengthens our emotions, gives us greater resilience to life’s adversities, and makes us more likely to help someone else. Griping, complaining, and bitterness fly out the door when we’re thankful.
Scripture abounds with exhortations of giving thanks and praise to God, the Giver of every good gift, including life itself.
