I got a lot of response to the post “sustained”. I’ve decided to write a part two and three of that post. So be on the lookout for those later this week. Also “voices” will be a 4 part post that will be going up this week as well. Can’t wait to hear your responses via comments, email and facebook!

“Right voices=right choices”
- Heard Jentezen Franklin make this comment recently, got me thinking a lot about who’s speaking into my life-and how frequently…who’s speaking into yours? Are you listening?

This quote came from a Steven Furtick post and I couldn’t help but to think about and analyze it.

• Who do I let speak into my life?
• Who do you let speak into your life?
• Do you have certain people that you allow to penetrate your heart with truth?
• Is it possible that a lot of the time we are listening to the wrong voice?

I have a very few people I trust enough to speak into my life. I can probably put them all on one hand.

Secondly and maybe even scarier than that is this. What conversations have you had with others in the past, where you completely missed it. They gave you rights to encourage there heart and you discussed things that you never should have talked about. You dwelled on things of the flesh. I’m not going to spell this one out for you because you already know what it is. You know that you missed it.

The interviewer is funny because she definitely doesn’t understand scripture at all.

Jesus, what will tomorrow be like? I’m not anxious or worried about it, but just curious what You are going to do. The Holy Spirit blows when and where He wants to, so would You blow it hard into Westside at about 10:41 tomorrow? Would You meet with us Lord? Can we humble ourselves and pray? Can we cry out to You and surrender? Lord, I want to lead people to You. I want them to see Your face and be forever changed. I want to completely get myself out of the way and allow You to move.

I know the enemy is going to be there tomorrow as well. In Your name I pray that he would not be allowed on the grounds of Your holy place tomorrow; that all distractions would disappear. Would You anoint the words of my mouth with Your Holy Spirit? I want to be a vessel, a carrier of the good news.

I’ll never understand why You died for me. I know that You love me more than I’ll ever even have the capacity to love. I am so thankful, Lord: thankful for Your blood and Your grace. In Your name I pray. Amen.
