The Best Advise PossibleWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Many have served God for years without having known His voice. The excuse given is 'God now speaks through His Word'. Indeed, He does. None-the-less, God still speaks through visions, revelations, dreams, face to face, in a still small voice, etc. God does not speak to everyone in exact same way. Though, however many ways we do not believe God speaks - is at least as many ways He would not speak to us. (God does not change. Neither is He a respecter of persons. According to your faith be it unto you.) Some did not ask (Is.58:2, I Jn.5:14-15). Others failed seeking (Pr.8:17). Some feared following a wrong voice, so they avoided knocking (Re.3:20). Try starting with something small. If you walk into a room of people and ask God to show you a need, you know it was not just your idea when He answers (because you asked God first). Satan would not ask you to do something good (Ps.37:3, Ja.4:17). So, go for it. And, next time you get an opportunity, try it again.

In some of my counseling and coaching sessions, my clients ask me to perform a reading to tell them their future. In many cases, my response is, "why don't you tell me your future?" They stop and stare, speechless. Of course, that sounds sarcastic and demeaning, but indeed, you know your future better than anyone else!I am in no way knocking psychic arts, but I'm presenting you with fact that you have ability to define and determine your future and outcomes as much as any psychic. "Divination for personal use" is merely a way to vocalize and symbolize that which you already know about yourself! It is interesting to consider future. Indeed, every decision we made and action we took in past placed us where we are right now. As such, every decision we make and action we take in present creates a path to a point in time in future. Each decision establishes a series of events and situations that allow us to move forward from our current circumstances into a new set of complementary circumstances. Indeed, every entity in Universe maintains an established future path. However, at one point or another, these paths do cross our own. Even if it is a chance meeting or a situation that places you on a road for success with your endeavors, these are events defined by paths chosen by you and other involved entities. But, it is essential to realize that since you can control your current actions and events, then indeed this gives you "power of control" over your future. Don't think that future is easy! You must visualize your destination and desires and then task Universe to reach your Vision. For every new future, you will encounter a new set of obstacles and challenges to enhance your character and test your mettle. It is give and take --- you task Universe, and it wants to ensure that you can handle what you demand. But, don't let this sway you as it is part of forward movement and positive growth!
