Helping women learn to unlock God's voice so that the still small voice of the Holy Spirit can be discerned is Mary's passion. Through this topic, Mary talks about how faith and obedience, prayer and the Scriptures are vital in opening our eyes, ears and spirit to the personal and intimate voice of God. This is scripture based teaching intervened with personal stories of seeking and finding God through stepping outside the comfort zone and norms of life.
Below is an excerpt from the handouts for the talk:
Do your actions scream to the world what you believe about God?
In order to believe what God says is true, you need to know who God is. How can your faith be real when you don’t spend time learning what His word says? Again, do your actions reflect what you say you believe? Or are you like a clanging cymbal, making a lot of noise for people to hear as you brag about your faith but not having the fruit to show for it? What do the fruits of your life say about your faith?
If you are truly living a life of faith, then the fruits of your life will be a Christ like character; people will seek you out for wisdom that the Lord provides. Do your actions reflect your words?
The more you believe, the more your faith is increased. The more your faith is increased, the more you know Him, His character, His ways, His truth. The more you know Him, the more you become like Him. When your life is so intertwined with His, you won’t miss His voice. You will hear all that He speaks to you, because you are one with Him. Ask God to stretch your faith.
