Jesus offers an invitation for the weary and burdened to come to Him and learn from Him (Matthew 11:28-30)
He describes the relationship as being yoked or joined to Him. This connection offers gentle guidance leading to the rest and peace of ones soul. In prayer, talk to Him and accept His invitation to be connected to Him and ask for the Holy Spirit to enable you to understand and empower you to follow His directions.]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111217-165632 Beverley Roehr Sat, 17 Dec 2011 21:56:32 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111018-115436
Dance, Daughter, come with Me. On your toes, dance with Me.
Up the mountain, heights unleashed. Freedom comes. Dance with Me.
On your toes, triple twirls. Sing as you go. Sway to and fro.
Come My Daughter, savor our time. This is momentous, climb, climb,climb!
One step forward. Trust Me to help. Twirl and dance, just do your best.
Head held high, trust Me to lead. All that we do, let Me be the lead.
Ask not, worry not just quiet trust. Dance Dear Daughter. Come now with Me.

Read Habakkuk 3:19 about the Lord enabling one to go on the heights.
Read Psalm 30:11-12 about the Lord turning mourning into dancing and clothing one in joy so that a silent heart may sing to Him.]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry111018-115436 Beverley Roehr Tue, 18 Oct 2011 15:54:36 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110814-001553
Joshua 1:7-9 teaches us about the Lord telling Joshua that his success would be achieved if he was strong and courageous. He was to meditate on, speak and obey the law forwarded by Moses to the people. The Lord reminded Joshua that He would be with him wherever he went.

Jesus summed up the law in His teaching about loving God and others. To achieve success does take strength (discipline) and courage (faithfulness) to meditate on, speak and obey the directions of the Lord. The Holy Spirit is given to those who obey God to enable us to live to please Him -- to be successful.
Acts 5:29-32

Directions from God's Spirit to us may seem as faint as the sweet aroma of roses, but we are to train ourselves to be aware of His Presence and humbly try to follow His guidance.]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110814-001553 Beverley Roehr Sun, 14 Aug 2011 04:15:53 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110812-185255
The development of powerful telescopes and camera lenses and filters and high quality image reproduction in printing have brought the spectacular beauty of the far reaches of our universe to public viewing. I first saw a photograph of a nebula, like the one above, at the Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, Arizona. One of my ways of studying the wonders of God's creation is to paint what stirs my spirit. Of course, my artwork is not meant to be a detailed reproduction, but instead an artistic representation. May you be blessed to discover more and more of the grandeur of the universe and praise and thank our Creator.
Read: Genesis 1:1 and Isaiah 45:12 and Colossians 1:16 and Revelation 4:11]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110812-185255 Beverley Roehr Fri, 12 Aug 2011 22:52:55 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110809-124725
How can we light the way so that others may know God and obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus?
Are you called to be a torch bearer: a person who brings illumination and inspiration?
My prayer for you is from II Thessalonians 2:15 to 3:5 and Jude 3:
Stand firm and contend for the faith that was entrusted to the writers of the Holy Bible. May our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Father encourage your heart and strengthen you in every good deed and word and protect you from evil. May the Lord direct your heart into God's love and the patience of Christ. Amen. ]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110809-124725 Beverley Roehr Tue, 09 Aug 2011 16:47:25 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110806-182645
I have never been personally aware of being helped by an angel but I have heard the testimony of those who have. Hebrews 1:14 teaches that angels are ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation. Almost every book of the Bible teaches about angels including the words of Jesus about the angels children have in heaven (Matthew 18:10) and the reference in Psalm 91:10 about those who trust in the Lord being cared for by angels. We are not to worship angels, but I have been known to pray for the Lord to release His angels to help a specific person.(Revelation 19:9-10) It is possible to be in the presence of an angel of God without knowing it. (Hebrews 13:1-2) May you be blessed by an angel of the Lord.]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110806-182645 Beverley Roehr Sat, 06 Aug 2011 22:26:45 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110713-113755 Scripture teaches us that God not only created the heavens and the earth, but that He has the power to continue to direct what He created. A few years ago, when a fire was burning out of control near the coast of Southern California, our Bible study class prayed that He would change the direction of the wind to cause the flames to blow back upon themselves. The next morning the fire chief reported that a sudden wind blew in from the ocean and helped to stop the progress of the fire. God encourages us to pray in faith and to thank Him for blessings.

Psalm 135 verses 3 to 7 tells of God directing the weather. Zechariah 10:1 encourages prayer for rains in the spring to aid in the growth of crops.

PRAYER: Lord, I humble myself and put my faith in You. Hear my prayer. . . .]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110713-113755 Beverley Roehr Wed, 13 Jul 2011 15:37:55 GMT http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110711-193649
Do you receive any inspirataion about letter writing from 2 John or 3 John in the New Testament?

PRAYER: Father God, to whom am I to write? By Your Holy Spirit, teach me to write letters of truth, encouragement and love. Amen.]]> http://www.listeningtogodministry.com/blog/index.php?entry=entry110711-193649 Beverley Roehr Mon, 11 Jul 2011 23:36:49 GMT
