Creating Environment to hear from God

RECKLESS LOVE
Song by Cory Asbury

Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
(Repeat 3X)
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
And I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God, yeah

Creating an Environment to Hear from God
“Magsalita po kayo, PANGINOON, sapagkat nakikinig ang lingkod ninyo.” (1 Samuel 3:10 ASND) Ang mga pananalita bang ito ay sinasambit din ng iyong puso sa Panginoon, tanda ng iyong kauhawan sa presensya Niya at pananabik na marinig ang Kanyang tinig? Like Samuel, God is calling you by name; He wants to speak and reveal Himself to you. Are you willing to listen? Sa bawat araw ng ating buhay, nawa’y piliin natin ang pinakamainam na kailangang gawin – ang making sa Diyos. Wala nang hihigit pa sa bagay na ito; ang lahat sa buhay natin ay susunod na lamang kapag marunong tayong makinig at sumunod sa sinasabi Niya.

Ang Diyos ay laging nangungusap sa ating puso/espiritu, at kung nais nating marinig ng malinaw ang tinig Niya, kailangan nating ituon ang ating pandinig sa Kanya (attentive to His voice and attuned to His Spirit). Tayo’y nabubuhay sa isang maingay na kapaligiran. Kabi-kabila ang boses na ating naririnig kaya’t hirap tayo minsan na mapakinggan ang Kanyang sinasabi. Subalit, mayroong paraan upang hindi mangibabaw ang mga boses sa paligid natin. Maaari tayong makalikha ng isang kapaligiran na nag-aanyaya sa presensya ng Diyos at naghahanda sa ating puso na marinig ang Kanyang tinig, however, ito’y nangangailangan ng pagsasanay (practice or spiritual exercise) at disiplina sa sarili. We need to intentionally give time and put ourselves in an environment that is free from noise and any distractions the world gives.

Quiet Time. A dedicated time spent everyday to be alone with God is a great environment to hear from Him. Ito ay isang mahalagang oras o panahon na inilalaan mo arawaraw upang maka-ugnayan ng personal ang Diyos sa pamamagitan ng panalangin, pagbabasa at pagbubulaybulay sa Salita ng Diyos o pagpupuri sa Kanya. Ito ay isang magandang pagkakataon upang marinig mo ang tinig Niya dahil ang iyong puso at kaisipan ay nakatuon lamang sa Kanya. It is a time to be still, quiet your heart and commune with Him Person to person; Spirit to spirit!

Meditation. Ang pagbabasa at pagninilay-nilay sa mga talata sa Biblia ay isa ring magandang environment upang marinig ang tinig ng Diyos. Inihahayag ng Diyos ang mga katotohanan ukol sa Kanya at nililinaw ang mga bagay na hindi natin nauunawaan noong una. When we meditate, we reflect, ponder and think deeply what the Word says; we receive revelation knowledge; our minds are being renewed, we gain new perspectives and our lives are being transformed. Ang Kanyang Salita ay nagiging buhay sa ating mga puso at nararanasan natin ang kapangyarihan nito.

Prayer / Praise and Worship. When we pray, sing or utter praises unto God, we are positioning ourselves to hear from Him. Prayer is communication with God; we talk but we also listen. We hear instructions from Him clearly and we follow. Marahil, nabago na ng Salita ng Diyos ang ating pananaw patungkol sa panalangin. Noong una nananalangin lamang tayo upang idulog sa Diyos ang ating mga pangangailangan, ngunit ngayon ang ating panalangin ay puno na ng pasasalamat, pagpaparangal at pagpupuri sa Kanya. Our utterance of thanksgiving, praises and adoration unto Him breaks every wall, opens prison’s doors, and frees us from any bondages (e.g. fear, worries, anxieties).

Our special moment/bonding with God through quiet time, meditation, prayer, praise and worship deepens our relationship with Him. Each must be a lifestyle of every child of God who desires to hear from God daily.

Elevate: Application/Suggested Question:
1. Have you dedicated a time each day to be alone with God? Ibahagi sa grupo ang iyong karanasan sa Diyos sa tuwing ikaw ay nasa environment ng panalangin, pagbubulay-bulay o pagpupuri.
