Written by Deborah Adams<\/p>\n
God, your words amaze me! When I read the Bible, the meaning of your words can pierce my soul with light and love. It has the power to open my eyes to the wellspring of my own soul where rivers of living waters pour forth and are evident in the tears filling my eyes. Your words bring salvation, healing, love, forgiveness, light in the darkness, and hope to the hopeless. One of the things I love the most about your words is that they have the power to open my eyes. The eyes of the one who\u2019s eyes you open understand revelation in their heart.<\/p>\n
Revelation means to disclose the truth. Truth contains the power of freedom. How we need to be free! The very nature of revelation is that it is truth that is hidden. So, what uncovers it? We receive revelation when the sound of God\u2019s voice is all we hear. So many times, we allow the sounds around us to deafen His voice. Often His words come as gifts that need unwrapped. When we are willing to take the time to unwrap the gift of God\u2019s words, we receive revelation. It contains light wrapped in love and brings change to the one who receives it.<\/p>\n
My mind recalls a story which impacted my life. It adequately displays the benefits of drowning out all the sounds around you, so you can focus on and hear what\u2019s most important. There was a young man that saw a job in the newspaper for a telegraph operator. He knew Morse Code and was excited to apply for the position. Jobs were hard to find during this time in history, so he found the office filled with many other applicants and a lot of noise. He was given a job application to fill out while he waited.<\/p>\n
As his eyes surveyed the room he saw the shuffling of papers and nervous movement. His mind was racing trying to take it all in because it was very noisy. Of all the voices in the room, the one that seemed to speak the loudest was his own inner voice. It kept telling him that due to his age, he was not the most qualified person in the room. He paused, quieted himself during all the confusion, and prayed silently. Suddenly, he began to hear a distant tapping coming from the other room. He realized that he was hearing Morse Code and his ears strained to listen. As he listened, he realized that the sound had been there the whole time. The telegraph operator in the other room was tapping out, \u201cIf you can understand this message, come through the door, the job is yours.\u201d He got up and opened the door to the office, uninvited! The manager was waiting patiently in the office to see who would respond to the message. As he entered the office, the manger said, \u201cMay I help you?\u201d The young man explained that he was following the directions given in Morse Code. Much to his surprise, the manager walked out of the office and thanked everyone else for coming. He said the position has been filled. The other applicants became upset and explained that they had not received a chance to turn in their applications. The manager explained that everyone had been given the same opportunity. If they would have only drowned out the noise, they too could have interpreted the Morse Code.<\/p>\n
It is hard to admit but as Christians we are all given the same opportunity to hear His voice. He loves us, created us, and longs to spend time with us! However, we allow the distractions of this world to deafen His voice. My prayer for you is that you not only hear but answer the voice of your Heavenly Father. As His voice resonates in your soul, you will experience the power of His words. You will receive revelation!<\/p>\n
\u201cCall to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.\u201d Jeremiah 33:3<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"excerpt","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":3996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","episode_type":"","audio_file":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","filesize_raw":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,37],"tags":[749,1014,16,453,991],"class_list":{"0":"post-3995","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-general","8":"category-womens-ministries","9":"tag-749","10":"tag-deborah-adams","11":"tag-discipleship","12":"tag-holy-spirit","13":"tag-reading-your-bible","14":"entry"},"title_es":"El poder de sus palabras","content_es":"Escrito por Deborah Adams Dios, \u00a1tus palabras me sorprenden! Cuando leo la Biblia, el significado de tus palabras puede traspasar mi alma con luz y amor. Tiene el poder de abrir mis ojos a la fuente de mi propia alma, donde fluyen r\u00edos de aguas vivas y son evidentes en las l\u00e1grimas que llenan mis ojos. Tus palabras traen salvaci\u00f3n, sanaci\u00f3n, amor, perd\u00f3n, luz en la oscuridad y esperanza para los que no tienen esperanza. Una de las cosas que m\u00e1s me gusta de tus palabras es que tienen el poder de abrir mis ojos. Los ojos de quien tienes los ojos abiertos entienden la revelaci\u00f3n en su coraz\u00f3n. Revelaci\u00f3n significa revelar la verdad. La verdad contiene el poder de la libertad. \u00a1C\u00f3mo necesitamos ser libres! La naturaleza misma de la revelaci\u00f3n es que es la verdad lo que est\u00e1 oculto. Entonces, \u00bfqu\u00e9 lo descubre? Recibimos revelaci\u00f3n cuando el sonido de la voz de Dios es todo lo que escuchamos. Muchas veces, permitimos que los sonidos que nos rodean ensordecen su voz. A menudo Sus palabras vienen como regalos que necesitan desenvolverse. Cuando estamos dispuestos a tomarnos el tiempo para desenvolver el don de las palabras de Dios, recibimos revelaci\u00f3n. Contiene luz envuelta en amor y trae cambios a quien la recibe. Mi mente recuerda una historia que impact\u00f3 mi vida. Muestra adecuadamente los beneficios de ahogar todos los sonidos a su alrededor, para que pueda concentrarse y escuchar lo que es m\u00e1s importante. Hubo un joven que vio un trabajo en el peri\u00f3dico para un operador de tel\u00e9grafo. \u00c9l conoc\u00eda el C\u00f3digo Morse y estaba entusiasmado de postularse para el puesto. Los empleos fueron dif\u00edciles de encontrar durante este tiempo en la historia, por lo que encontr\u00f3 la oficina llena de muchos otros solicitantes y mucho ruido. Le dieron una solicitud de trabajo para completar mientras esperaba. Mientras sus ojos inspeccionaban la habitaci\u00f3n, vio el crujir de papeles y el movimiento nervioso. Su mente estaba corriendo tratando de entenderlo todo porque era muy ruidoso. De todas las voces en la sala, la que parec\u00eda hablar m\u00e1s fuerte era su propia voz interior. Sigui\u00f3 dici\u00e9ndole que debido a su edad, \u00e9l no era la persona m\u00e1s calificada en la sala. Hizo una pausa, se tranquiliz\u00f3 durante toda la confusi\u00f3n y rez\u00f3 en silencio. De repente, comenz\u00f3 a escuchar un tapping distante procedente de la otra habitaci\u00f3n. Se dio cuenta de que estaba escuchando el C\u00f3digo Morse y sus o\u00eddos se esforzaron por escuchar. Mientras escuchaba, se dio cuenta de que el sonido hab\u00eda estado all\u00ed todo el tiempo. El operador de tel\u00e9grafos en la otra habitaci\u00f3n estaba haciendo tapping, \"Si puedes entender este mensaje, entra por la puerta, el trabajo es tuyo.\" Se levant\u00f3 y abri\u00f3 la puerta de la oficina, \u00a1sin haber sido invitado! El gerente esperaba pacientemente en la oficina para ver qui\u00e9n responder\u00eda al mensaje. Cuando entr\u00f3 en la oficina, el pesebre dijo: \"\u00bfPuedo ayudarlo?\". El joven explic\u00f3 que estaba siguiendo las instrucciones del C\u00f3digo Morse. Para su sorpresa, el gerente sali\u00f3 de la oficina y agradeci\u00f3 a todos los dem\u00e1s por venir. \u00c9l dijo que el puesto estaba lleno. Los otros solicitantes se molestaron y explicaron que no hab\u00edan tenido la oportunidad de presentar sus solicitudes. El gerente explic\u00f3 que a todos se les hab\u00eda dado la misma oportunidad. Si solo hubieran ahogado el ruido, tambi\u00e9n podr\u00edan haber interpretado el C\u00f3digo Morse. Es dif\u00edcil de admitir, pero como cristianos, todos tenemos la misma oportunidad de escuchar su voz. \u00a1\u00c9l nos ama, nos cre\u00f3 y anhela pasar tiempo con nosotros! Sin embargo, permitimos que las distracciones de este mundo ensordezcan Su voz. Mi oraci\u00f3n por ti es que no solo oigas, sino que respondas la voz de tu Padre Celestial. Mientras su voz resuena en tu alma, experimentar\u00e1s el poder de sus palabras. \u00a1Recibir\u00e1s revelaci\u00f3n! \"Ll\u00e1mame y te responder\u00e9 y te contar\u00e9 cosas grandiosas e inescrutables que no conoces\".
