Time Alone With Godنمونہ

## Steps in Your Time with God Listen James says, “Take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak…” He teaches us that listening comes before speaking, sacrifice, and offering. It is me He wants, not my sacrifice. Listening is an art, discipline, and necessity. The reason we listen is because the Lord has worthy things to say.  Do you want to hear them? Learn Learning is a response to good listening and the result is rest. When Christ speaks of rest, He means peace. This peace is not as the world gives it, but as the Lord imparts to His children. The reason we learn is because the Lord has worthy things to teach us. Do you want to learn them? A part of learning to walk with Christ is evaluating your own heart and testing the thoughts that enter your mind. This comes through the wisdom of God, counsel of others and the Spirit’s leading. God will not lead you to live a life contrary to His nature. Lead The call of God is when He speaks. Many of us want to lead before we listen and learn. However, we are to listen and learn in order to evaluate our own lives before we entrust our lives to others in service. There comes a time in life and ministry when we hold nothing back. We lead humbly, serving others with no strings attached. Jesus has defined leadership by a different standard. The reason we lead is to serve and mentor others in ministry. This is the leadership the Father builds in each of His children, so that they may fulfill their eternal purpose here on Earth. To know your purpose, you must listen. To live your purpose, you must learn. To fulfill your purpose, you must lead. We listen. We learn. We lead. We walk with God for a lifetime and manifest Christ to the world.
