Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. Matthew 16:24 NKJV
We are going to look at this verse in detail, examining each phrase of the verse. The verse begins with three very powerful words “Then Jesus said”. Please don’t underestimate the power of those words. Until you hear from God, you haven’t heard the ultimate truth!
By the mere act of speaking, God created the Heavens and the earth. Through a voice command God will one day put an end to the reign of Satan. There is tremendous power in the voice of God.
Are you listening to the right voices in your life? Are you following after the correct advise? Can you hear God’s voice when He chooses to speak to you? We can begin to discern the voice of God when we are diligently seeking Him in His Word and through prayer. When we walk daily with the Creator we learn to recognize His voice?
Sometimes we can't hear God, because there is too much clutter in our lives to hear. We are too consumed with the things of this world and those noises drown out the voice of God. Are you free enough that God could speak to you should He try?
If you are in a dilemma today, get close to God and listen for what He has to say about the matter. Let Jesus speak truth into your life. “Then Jesus said” should be your heart’s desire in the situation.
