Still small voice

So God says go out, get out of the cave.  Go stand on the mountain before me.   Stand outside the mountain with your back to the cave.  Turn your back on all the things that are in your cave. The death, the troubles, the debt, the persecution the lack of fruitfulness and failed expectations. Turn you back on them and stand before the Lord. The Word of the Lord to us is not just for the supernatural, the spectacular the public and the impersonal.  But it is also in the private, the personal the still, the small and the painful. Sometimes past experiences of hearing the word of the Lord lead us to think that God will speak to me this way because that is the way it has happened before. Elijah wasn’t just delivering a message he was the message.  And the changes in his life kept him dependent upon God; in his sweet spot of dependence upon Him. In constant prayer and dependence upon the word of the Lord.

Friends, you are not preparing a message to give on Sundays but God is preparing a message in you.  You are not giving a message. You are the message.
