Signs
God gives us signs every day, all the time. But we must learn to be sensitive and recognize these signs. If we don´t remain connect with the Holy Spirit, praying and adoring God, we will not understand the messages God will send us.
What is a sign?
Sings are movements, gestures, sounds, siren, labels, anything that can warns us ou allows us to recognize or predict something.
Can you recognize all the signs?
Can you understand the clothe´s labels? When we don´t, we ignore them... We just pick a scissor and cut the label so it doens´t botter anymore. We throw the label in the trash.
Likewise, if you don´t know the Holy Spirit, you will also not understand His signals. As the lovers, friends, show their love for each other through concrete signs, God also expresses His eternal love for us. A love like we never felt before. We must open our hearts and let the Holy Spirit act in us. It is only through Him that we will be able to recognize His signs. The Holy Spirit makes us sensitives!
If you didn´t have an experience with the Holy Spirit ask His visitation!
In the Bible, signs and wonders were used to confirm the revealed word of God to the apostles and prophets. There are lots of examples: signs of deliverance (Cain´s sign, Genesis 4:15), signs of promise (the rainbow, Genesis 9:12-17), warning signs (the fig tree, Matthew 21:18-22), the ressurection of Jesus (Luke 24:6), and others.
And these days?
Many people value signs above all else. Even above the Bible. They interpret events in life as an evidence of divine approval of their decisions...
Are signs always reliable?
Of course not! There are several differences between the true signs of the times of the Bible and the supposed miraculous gifts people are seeking today. The Bible alerts us: Deuteronomy 13:1-3, 2Thessalonians 2:9-10, Matthew 24:24-25).
Our Lord´s power is available today!
It´s the intimacy with God that open ourselves to the experience of recognition. The more we enter into His love and His request for knowledge, the more we become sensitive and, like children, we let us to be led.
God is always around us!
In things we can not dream, small and simples, as in large as well...
Do not miss the blessings simply because they are not "wrapped" the way you expected!
Look around: everything has the sign of God!
Get a life before the Lord!
God bless you,
Ana.
"A man walking through the woods, whispered: - God talk to me!
And a meadowlark sang, but the man did not hear...
So the man yelled: - God, talk to me!
And a thunder rolled across the sky, but the man did not notice...
The man looked around and said: - God let me see you!
And bright stars appeared but the man did not realize...
The man yelled: - God show me a miracle!
And a baby was born... But the man could not see...
Then, the man cried out in despair: - God, touch me!
Ah a butterfly landed on his shoulder, but the man did not see...
The man stretched his hands towars heaven and shouted: - God I need your help! Speak to me!
And an email arrived, with good new and words of encouragement, but the man deleted it, and continue crying..."
