Day 2: The Delivering Voice of God

Introduction:

The Bible says that God is our deliverer, and it’s vital that we come to know the sound of His delivering voice, because it will lead us to our healing. I’m excited for you to watch today’s devotional because I believe it will stir up your faith and increase your expectancy for miracles. Today we will study the story of Blind Bartimaeus and his perseverance against negative opinions.

What we listen to matters. We can listen to the changeable opinions of others, or we can hear the voice of Jesus and the Holy Spirit nudging us, because it will be a delivering voice if we listen to it. It will heal us if we listen to it.

Friend, it is a powerful thing when you take a break from your distractions, step aside to be alone with the Lord, and say, “God, I want to hear You. What do You want to say to me today?” When you open your Bible, you should get quiet, because the Lord has something to say to you. I have had many times where I got to hear Him confirm in my heart how much He loves me, but if I don’t get quiet, I cannot hear that delivering, encouraging voice. His delivering voice is available to every one of us, just like it was for Bartimaeus, and it will change your whole life if you listen for it.

Practical Application:

• Challenge yourself to take some time away from your devices or distractions, get quiet, and really listen for the delivering voice of God. Open your Bible and say to the Lord, “Lord, I want to hear your voice. What do you want to say to me today?” Listen and wait to hear His mighty voice! Try integrating this into your daily routine.
• Prepare yourself to hear His voice by identifying some assumptions you may have about yourself. Examine the preconceived ideas you have about what God’s voice will sound like or what He will say — then give those ideas to Him.
