I laugh inwardly completely understanding where Dutch Sheets was coming from. The Lord wanted him to read about the lame man at the Gate Beautiful. Leave me alone, I‘ve read that before, he thought since he didn’t want the Lord to hear him. I suppose Dutch in that moment, didn’t realized God is a discerner of our thoughts. Again, I laughed, been there done that. He went on to explain that he read it over and over until he caught on to what the Lord wanted to reveal to him.  

God reminded me Gideon’s doubted that God could use him to win over the Midianites. What Gideon didn’t understand is that God wanted his willingness. (Judges 6:13-15) asked the Lord one time, “Why did you put me in the position of an author, artist or a leader since I struggle with certain things so much?” He replied, “That I may be glorified.” It sounds foolish that God would position a dyslexic, A.D.D. person in that position. Must not believe I have a struggle with those. But I can tell you it’s all due to the Holy Ghost. Moses stuttered, slow of speech yet he experienced the presence of God like no other. (Exodus 3:11)

“God, I know those stories. I don’t want to read it again.”

“Read it again, embed it in your soul, until it’s no longer a stumbling block satan can use.” 

I’m grateful that we can hear God speaking in our spirit. He promised to lead us and guide us in all truth.

The Lord may be speaking to you about something as well. Understand it’s our Heavenly Father loving us unconditionally. 

“Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye. Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart. Say unto wisdom, Thou art my sister; and call understanding thy kinswoman:  Proverbs 7:2-4 KJV
