CatchTheEnthusiasm

But what about the Bible? I thought that was the last time He talked. My pastor says
everything we need to know is in there, and people who think they hear from God
probably need medication.

Well, let's think about this for a minute. Didn't Jesus say He had many more things to
say, and that when the Holy Spirit came He would speak to us? Is that true or isn't it?
Does He just give us a positive sense of well-being when we are going in the right
direction and a very bad feeling when we aren't, or can He clearly and specifically speak
entire sentences to us? I believe He does both.

Have you ever looked up the word Enthusiasm? I did, after the Lord spoke to me about
others "catching the enthusiasm." I wondered exactly what the meaning was. I have
found He knows my language better than I do, so I looked it up and was quite surprised
at what Webster's said:

ENTHUSIASM: Belief in special revelations of the Holy Spirit.

I'm sure some who are reading are immediately thinking, Watch out! This is a cult
person who thinks they are receiving new revelations from God contrary to the Word!

Not at all. How about special revelations that are totally Biblical, yet increase our
understanding of the Word, like something the Lord told me recently, "Begin each day
with Psalms of praise."

I believe the Lord speaks often but few hear. I also believe we can incline our ears to
hear. I did so and He began to speak very clearly to me, much to my surprise and
delight.

The things He has spoken have been life transforming for me. He has been my
personal, spiritual life Coach, and as I have acted on His instructions, I have
experienced greatly increased freedom.

Do you remember Jesus said, ". . . you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free." He also said, "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth."
Well, if the Spirit of truth guides us into all truth we could certainly expect to get freer
and freer, right? And how does He guide us into all truth? Jesus said He would "speak,"
and my experience is that He does speak, and is eager to speak, and greatly enjoys it
when people actually listen. Smile.

As I have shared the things He has spoken to me with friends, they have been greatly
enriched and have requested copies. As one friend stated, "These words really sharpen
me, I want a copy to be able to read over and over again." As a result I have put many of
the things He has spoken to me in book form to share with friends and family, as the
Lord has allowed.
