The plains: when God Speaks

Ezekiel 3:22
22 Then the hand of the Lord was upon me there, and He said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and there I shall talk with you.”

 Plain: 
  1. 1.
    not decorated or elaborate; simple or ordinary in character.

  2. 2.
    easy to perceive or understand; clear.
    "
  1. 1.
    clearly; unequivocally (used for emphasis).
    "
noun
  1. 1.
    a large area of flat land with few trees.



Many  times it is necessary to clear away the clutter, for us to hear God's voice. This clearing comes in many forms. Whether through a period of fasting, or shutting out the saturation of  various media, or simply the daily pulling away to your "secret place" in private time with the Lord, being in the plains creates an atmosphere for unobstructed hearing of God's voice.  

It's needful that we listen for God's voice in the plains that we can receive guidance to ascend the mountain. Everyone wants the mountain top experience, but the plains is where God speaks. The mountain is where God reveals.

The disciples were in the place to be led by Jesus up the mountain, receiving a deeper revelation of God once on the mountain top. How could they know where to go? They listened to Jesus and crowded out all other voices that were not His.  What are some ways the you can get to the "plains"  in your life?

Mission: New Tribes

Hi Family! We hope that your holiday was truly blessed! Not blessed with things  but blessings of fellowship, giving, and most importantly, love. I think we take for granted the opportunity to be surrounded by people who  actually  want to be around us and who want to invest in our lives in some way! Although our year is full of holidays of pagan origin, they are awesome times for the family of God to gather together and just love on each other! Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....

I want to do both...Our secular culture over-romanticizes marriage and our Christian culture over spiritualizes it.

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...
