I was listening to the CD from Bishop Long (love song #2 "Give God Something"). Anyway, I realized that sometimes people put out songs, books and sermons because they feel that's what the people WANT. However, that is not what they need from God. When we give the people what we think or know they want, this is not always best for them. Sure they will benefit but how much more would they benefit from a word from God giving them direction encouragement peace hope deliverance healing. Example 1... So your preaching and you HEAR the Lord telling you what to say - awesome. You deliver that word and manifestation of His glory shows up. Example 2... Your preaching and you see this person or that person and words come to you so you speak that forth. I believe Example 2 is the prophetic coming to your mind and not the word for the hour of the sermon (for the masses). Its so important for us to be in tune with God's voice while speaking so we don't deliver JUST what people need but what God wants for them. I guess this is why its so important to have notes or bullet points for sermons so you can stay on track with what God wanted you to deliver. Example 3... your speaking and words, visions, images are flying in at you, items like houses and ministries are dropping from heaven and God is redirecting your sermon and you are obedient to His moving. Awesome God, thank you for leading us, every step and every word.
