Listen to That Still Small Voice
In 1 Kings 19: 11-12 Elijah the prophet said the Lord passed by and there was a great and strong wind but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire but the Lord was not in the fire. Then there was a still small voice. In verses 15 and 16 this still small voice gave Elijah instructions on where he was to go and told him to anoint Hazel to be king over Syria and Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel. When it comes to witnessing, and in every area of life, it is so important that we learn to listen to and obey that still small voice of the Holy Spirit.
At one of our latest outreaches in Salina, Kansas I saw, as I had in times before, the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit. There were a couple of different times while I was ministering at that farm show when I was about to leave the Fellowship of Christian Farmers booth to take a break but I got a check by the Holy Spirit in my spirit to not leave. The Holy Spirit proved faithful in this because great divine appointments would follow. On one of the these occasions six Cloud County Community College students came along and I was able to pour my life into them, ministering for quite a while about how to be saved and how to live the Christian life. All six of those kids prayed with me to receive Jesus. It was a great time of ministry to six future leaders of tomorrow and it all happened because I listened to and obeyed the Holy Spirit. Six kids are now on their way to heaven instead of hell because of the leading of the Holy Spirit. Later on I was going to take a break again but once more the Holy Spirit gave me a check in my spirit and so I stayed at the booth and a little while later I had more divine appointments.
On that outreach I was blessed to have William F. a Native American from Oklahoma come with me to minister alongside me. He has proved to be a hard worker when it comes to ministry. Right now he is a Ministry Academy student in St. Louis but he was on spring break so he was able to make the trip. We were also blessed to be able to go to a couple of Kenneth Hagin Jr. meetings at Light of the World Christian Center in Topeka, Kansas on the way to and from Salina.
