When God's Whisper is louder than the enemy's voice.

After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 1 Kings 19:12


Many times we expect God to be loud, boisterous, and heavy against the enemy. That is what we expect when we think of God and His almighty power. We especially expect it when everything else seems to be louder than God's voice when we are in tough situation. But have we ever thought to listen to the Lord's whisper, His whisper is louder than any voice of disappointment, voice of depression, and any mental or physical battle that any one of us are going through.

The story that is presented in 1 Kings chapter 19, shows us that we must listen to God's whisper. Elijah knew too well to listen to the whisper, instead of the earthquakes, the fires, the great wind. Elijah even though he was hiding from Ahab, he still knew how to drown out the loudness and pay attention to God's whisper. Sometimes when we see magnificent things happening we wait for that great expectation, but God sometimes is not in those big extravagant things. We must be able to tell the difference when the enemy's voice imitates and may try to act louder than God's almighty whisper.

Now we may think, a whisper is an insignificant thing, that a whisper is a way to spread secrets for no one to hear. But the difference between what we think is a whisper and God's whisper is that His whisper is powerful, His whisper shatters all barriers, His whisper is louder than anything. Don't let the thoughts of worry or anxiety be louder than that. It can be difficult at times, but just we remember with God all things are possible. And with Him we can all overcome what the enemy tries to tells us everyday.

I encourage you today to drown out the voices that seem louder than the power of God's whisper. That when we listen to that whisper that we know that God wants only good for us and not evil, that He knows the plans for us, He will not harm us, but love us with that gentle whisper.


Many Blessings,

Melissa Meran

    "I encourage you today to drown out the voices that seem louder than the power of God's whisper." This sentence is what I needed to focus on today! Thank you!

Overcoming Fear and Trusting the Lord

     Fear , one of those words that is not mentioned in constant conversations. Fear more of a semblance of emotion than just a word spoken in a sermon or on a page in a book. There have been many topics on fear and overcoming the deceitfulness of fear, but I want to go through my experience with overcoming fear and giving my complete trust to the Lord. I believe the biggest fear that grips every one of us is always the fear of the unknown, but I want to say to you brothers and sisters we do not have to fear the unknown. A verse has been resonating in my spirit and has stirred my confidence and trust in the Lord.  1 John Chapter 4 verse 18: " There is no fear in love; but perfect love drives out  fear: because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love."  NIV Now, let's look at the word again  "Fear" , what does that word make you think about? Was there something that caused fear in your life that you have not been able

Rising above it all... with God

    This hits close to home, I am sure many of you this topic hits close to home. A betrayal from a good friend, a loss of a job, or something personal that hits you hard every time you think about it. Well on this post let's talk about rising above. But not only rising above it all, but doing it with the strength of the Lord. The Holy Spirit guiding us to go above the storm just like the eagle when it spreads its wings.  The eagle is a majestic creature that spreads its wings and lets the wind carry it above the storm. Now picture yourself like that eagle, rising above that storm; letting the wind take you as you spread your wings. Fly above the the storm my friends, because God is holding you in His right hand. He is sustaining you in all of your troubles, in all of your trials, God is with you and around you, no matter the circumstance. Recently, I had a car accident, incredibly unexpected and totally my fault when it happened. At the time I was more worried about the dr

The God who loves....

Image
  Whoever does not love, does not know God, because God is love.  1 John 4:8 God is love. Something we do not think about very often, a phrase such as "I love you" can lose its significance. But God's love is everlasting; a love that surpasses human understanding. A love that forgives, a life that is kind, a love that showed the greatest sacrifice: Where He sent Jesus. the lion and the lamb to save the world from itself. Now think about love as something a child possesses; a child no matter what you do will love and forgive instantly regardless of the circumstance. We have to think of God's love in this way, a love that is kind and covers a multitude of sins. In saying this we must value the love God has for us, just like a love of a child that is unconditional; a love that asks for nothing in return. We must also extend this Godly love to everyone around us, it is not just reserved for family and close friends, but for the lost and for the broken as w
