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 doesn't 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 effect 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.

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 that 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).

…Cornelius, your prayer has been heard, and your alms are remembered in the sight of God (Acts 10:31).

Where do you go when troubles pile up as high as the bills? I like the thoughts from Psalm 119:114, "You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in your word." The Lord has promised that He would be our refuge and strength. He even said that His word would be a lamp to our feet and a larger light for our pathway (Psalm 119:105).

We are given tremendous promises of hope from the book of Jeremiah, the great prophet. Jeremiah 32:17, "O Sovereign Lord God! You have made the heavens and earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for you."

Dear friend, there is no problem in your life that God cannot reach. His hand and power is able to bring the help that you need. Remember, that the Lord declared:  "Behold, I am the the God of all the peoples of the world. Is there anything too hard for Me?" God is asking a powerful question. He said and I repeat again: "Is there anything too hard for Me?" Well, the Lord answers the question in Matthew 19:26, "...but with God all things are possible."
