The Voice of the LORD

13 After they had gone, an angel of Adonai appeared to Yosef in a dream and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and escape to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you to leave. For Herod is going to look for the child in order to kill him.”
19 After Herod’s death, an angel of Adonai appeared in a dream to Yosef in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother, and go to Eretz-Yisra’el, for those who wanted to kill the child are dead.”
- Matthe 2:13,19-20


It is wonderful when you are walking with GOD because GOD will never leave you or anyone of His children to perish not just eternally but even here on earth. GOD's will for everyone of us is always to prosper, to live abundantly, to be healthy and with every good thing you can possibly think of, GOD wants this for us. If we are in the center of GOD's will we are protected by GOD through the Instruction of HIS voice. Just as it was in the life of Jospeh and Mary, Abraham, Moses and all those that heeded to the voice of GOD, so it is today to anyone who is seeking and willing to walk with GOD. The LORD always has a word for us each season, and everyday HE always has something to say to our Souls.

A fresh revelation of GOD's word is needed everyday. When we read HIS word, no matter how many times we have finished reading the entire Bible, there is always a new thing that we get or learn from it. Most especially during important seasons in our lives where GOD specifically instructs us to move or do something. Like for example in Joseph's life, GOD always spoke to Joseph through his dreams and these instructions are not just minimal ones that can be ignored or brushed aside but they are critical insturctions and his very well being and life of his family is being threatened if they do not obey immediately. It is important to attune our ears to the voice of the LORD, to align our Spirit's with HIS word because not all of us may be dreamers like Joseph but the Bible is where we can approve the good and perfect will of GOD for our lives.
