The best thing that I’ve ever found and kept is a heart-to-heart relationship with the risen Jesus Christ. Jesus thrills me day and night! I love to continually converse with Him!

Jesus has taught me that He frequently puts promptings into human hearts. He nudges us into action. He calls us into obedience. To disobey a prompting from God is the sin of quenching the Spirit.

Many people confuse God’s promptings with random thoughts, so they ignore them and dismiss them. That’s sad because the still small voice of God’s inner promptings is one of the main ways that the Holy Spirit leads us and as the Bible says, “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.”

I’ve heard many sermons in my life, but I don’t think I have ever heard a sermon teaching people to hear and obey the Spirit’s promptings. Here’s the key: When you sense an inner prompting to do good and to align your life to the Bible, that’s the voice of the living God speaking directly to you. Will you obey Him or ignore Him?

As for me, my loyalty is to Jesus first. It’s not to my own desires and feelings, not to a country, not to a mere human leader.

Great moments happen when you follow and obey God’s inner promptings. Obeying a prompting from God opens the door to miracles! Refuse to let fear, logic, tradition, pride, or any other thing keep you from obeying God’s inner promptings. Continually train yourself to be prompt to obey God’s promptings.

God’s inner promptings won’t accomplish His purposes unless you obey them. Every time you neglect to follow a prompting from God you quench the Holy Spirit. If you keep resisting or ignoring God’s promptings, you’ll eventually become unable to hear them.

When you feel stomped,
Swamped and tromped,
Ask God to give you
An inner prompt,
And when His Spirit
Puts a prompt
In your heart,
Take time to hear it
And obey it!
