Hey there, Warriors! Welcome back to another episode of "The Power Of God's Whisper Podcast". Today, we're going to chew on a bit of wisdom tucked away in Proverbs 15:22: "Plans go wrong for lack of advice; many advisers bring success." Now, it may seem like this is just practical advice for life - and it is - but it's also so much more. It's about how God communicates with us, even in this busy, noisy world. Let me explain.

Point 1: God in the Flesh

The Bible tells us that Jesus was God in the flesh. He walked and talked among people, just like you and me. But before He died, Jesus told His disciples something pretty mind-boggling. He said it was good for Him to go. Why? So that His Spirit could come live inside of us. That means you and me and every person who follows Jesus, we become His voice in the world.

Point 2: The Importance of Advisers

So, why does the Bible say that there's success in many advisers? Well, in King Solomon's time, this was sage advice for making wise decisions. But for us, living after the Holy Spirit has come, this advice is supercharged! The people around us aren't just people with good advice. They can actually speak words inspired by God's Spirit!

Point 3: Listening to Wisdom

Now, this is where it gets really exciting. When we listen to fellow believers, God's voice might just be in the mix. You'll need to practice discernment, to sift through the chatter and hear the nuggets of divine wisdom. But if you're listening, I promise you, God is speaking.

Conclusion:

So, that's the gold hidden in Proverbs 15:22. It's not just about having a bunch of advisers. It's about recognizing God’s voice speaking through the wisdom of those around us. It's about learning to listen, not just with our ears, but with our hearts.

Call to Action:

Here's what I want you to do. Find some people who love Jesus and love you. Listen to their advice. Pray about it. See if you can hear God's voice whispering in their wisdom. And, as always, keep your hearts open to "The Power Of God's Whisper". Join us for our next episode as we continue this incredible journey through God's Word. Until next time, keep listening!

Let’s Pray…Spirit of God, speak to me through Your people. Let Your voice ring true when they speak Your words. I cannot travel this journey alone. Fill Your people with truth.
