1.  Is the voice you're hearing consistent with the Word? God's voice never conflicts with the Word of God.

2.  Does it conflict with human reasoning? Is it reasonable? God's voice isn't necessarily reasonable to the world because the world's system is different.

3.  Does it clash with my fleshly desire? God's will or voice does not gratify the flesh, but will gratify the Spirit.

4.  Will this challenge my faith?

5.  Does this call for courage?

6.  Does this cause me to think of the affect on others? Am I concerned about my influence on others - will I be harsh, crude, or careless? I must yield to Him, love others, carry their burdens at times, die to self, and learn to be patient.

7.  When God speaks, He makes me consider future consequences - Satan does not!

It’s always a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord as is written in 2 Timothy 1:2,3:

Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did, as without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day…

I want you to know I do pray for you and expect wonderful blessings for your life. I also have high hopes that you’re growing in the Lord and taking on His likeness more and more.

You’re a blessing to many others. The Lord is very much aware of your giving heart and never forgets your labor of love. So I'm praying for the Lord to bless all that you do.

The generous soul will be made rich, and he who waters will also be watered himself (Proverbs 11:25).

“The harvest truly is great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest” (Luke 10:2). 

I believe this verse has much application for our lives. The Lord states there is great potential for harvest. 

We can be one of the laborers we’ve been instructed to pray for. In verse one, the Lord appointed seventy others and sent them to every city and place where He was to go. In verse nine the Lord said they were to heal the sick and to declare “the kingdom of God has come near you.”

I believe this is a part of the ministry for Lubbock Rays of Hope. We want to touch people and let them know God is near to them.

Let's help fulfill the mission of the church from Matthew 28:19, 20. We want to be a part of the great army of believers going into all the world. Together we can make possible the harvest the Lord desires to come to pass. May the Lord touch you and answer every prayer of your heart.
