I'm Listening God

God may speak something to our hearts or speak to us through someone else to tell us something He would like for us to accomplish. Sometimes that task seems too hard and we may feel inadequate or afraid of failure. This is where I am right now....a word has been spoken to me that makes me afraid and I've been afraid of it for a long time and have never tried to accomplish this one thing, so if God really wants me to do this, then I must be sensitive to His leading and allow Him to work through me. So, this afternoon while I was doing my Bible reading I read in Exodus 4 (I know you're wondering why I'm reading Exodus - b/c I'm doing the Bible Reading Guide to read the Bible through in one year) and the Lord is speaking to Moses telling him to go to Pharaoh and ask him to let the Israelites go and Moses says, "Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech." The Lord said to him, "Who gave man his mouth? Who makes him deaf or mute? Who gives him sight or makes him blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say." But Moses said, "O Lord, please send someone else to do it."

And we know God sent his brother, Aaron to help him and the Lord said, "I will help both of you speak and will teach you what to do."

I'm like, "Ok, God I hear you!!!" When God calls us to a task, he will furnish the means and ability to fulfill that task. God promises to give us help and power. Thank You Jesus, because I cannot do this on my own. And if I did, it would not be with Your anointing. It is through you that we receive anointing to complete the tasks You have ahead for us.
