Sarah Young continues describing a turning point in her spiritual journey. The year is 1993 and, although she had been a Jesus follower for many years, she now begins listening for God’s voice.
My journaling had changed from monologue to dialogue. Soon, messages began to flow more freely, and I bought a special notebook, to record these words. This new way of communicating with God became the high point of my day. I know these writings were not inspired as Scripture is, but they were helping me grow closer to God.
…This practice of listening to God has increased my intimacy with Him more than any other spiritual discipline, so I want to share some of the messages I have received.
Sarah’s daily devotional, “Jesus Calling”, is simply 365 short examples of the messages she has received from the Lord. I’ll include one of them tomorrow so you can see what it’s like.
What I want to emphasize today is that this “practice of listening” is at the heart of our Luke Ten Community. This is a “community of practice” where we are…
*sharing what we are hearing as we listen as individuals
*sharing what we are hearing as we listen with one other person (CO2)
*sharing what we are hearing as we listen with our spiritual family (simple church)
The whole thing is pretty simple, isn’t it.
