The Benefits of Obedience

Chapter 4: Discerning Prophetic Words with Wisdom and the Word

Good morning to all our Daily Word family members! We love you and are so grateful to be with you today. God has blessed us with another day of life, and I don’t take that for granted—thank You, Father, for the opportunity to give You glory again.

We’re diving back into The Benefits of Obedience, and today is Part Four. I’m excited to explore an important topic: how to respond when someone gives you what they believe is a prophetic word from God. Let’s pray.

Heavenly Father, I ask Your forgiveness for any sin. As I share this word with Your people, let every listener be edified and every heart open to receive. I give You all glory, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Understanding Prophetic Words

In the Christian faith, when someone claims to have received a message from God to deliver to another person, this is referred to as a prophetic word. Typically, it is shared for guidance, instruction, encouragement, or confirmation. These messages are often received during prayer, worship, or meditation, and may be shared based on a personal revelation or biblical insight.

The person delivering the word believes they are acting as a vessel through which God’s message is conveyed. However, as believers, we are instructed to be discerning when receiving such messages.

---

Biblical Instruction on Discernment

Let’s examine what the Word of God says. In 1 John 4:1–6 (KJV), Scripture gives us a clear instruction:

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.”

This passage tells us not to accept every spirit or prophetic message blindly. We must test the spirits—measure what we hear against the truth of God’s Word. A true prophetic word will always align with Scripture and point people to Jesus Christ as Lord in the flesh.

---

Testing Prophetic Words

There are typically three responses when someone shares a prophetic word with you:

1. Confirmation – It confirms something God has already spoken to you.

2. Rejection – You know with certainty that the message is not from God.

3. Uncertainty – You’re unsure and must seek the Lord for clarity.

Remember, just because someone says, “I have a word from the Lord for you,” doesn’t mean it’s accurate or from God. We are given the right and responsibility to evaluate all things through the Word and prayer.

---

A Personal Testimony

Let me share a personal story about a prophetic word I received. In 1978, shortly after the birth of our youngest son Kevin—a strong, healthy 10-pounder—my wife and I decided we were done having children. That was it. The “baby factory” was officially closed.

One evening after a worship service, a young man approached us and said, “I have a word from God for you.” He told us we would have another son. Naturally, my wife and I looked at each other and laughed—we were certain our family was complete!

Fast forward 20 years, our daughter gave birth to a son, and the Lord began dealing with both my wife and me about raising him. She was young and not fully prepared for the responsibility. I had a vision where I saw myself at an abandoned mine shaft. In the darkness, I noticed cartoon-like eyes staring up at me. As I walked over fragile boards, I reached down and pulled up a small hand. It was my grandson, Elijah.

Elijah was born on my birthday, February 3rd—just as the Lord had shown me. I told others he would be born that day, and people laughed. But he came into the world exactly as God had revealed. When I held him for the first time, I felt a tangible spiritual impartation.

Later, the Lord told me, “He is your replacement.” At first, I didn’t understand—did that mean I was going to die? But God clarified: Elijah would carry the same anointing and purpose I walked in. Just as I was a worship leader in my 20s for the late Dr. Frederick K.C. Price, Elijah now leads worship at a large church in his 20s. God’s word was fulfilled—not immediately, but in His perfect timing.

---

Delays Don’t Deny the Word

Some prophetic words may take years—even decades—to come to pass. A delay doesn’t mean denial. That’s why obedience is vital. We must remain faithful to God’s Word and promises, trusting Him even when the vision tarries.

Habakkuk 2:3 (KJV) says:

“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”

Just as Elijah’s birth and purpose were foretold and fulfilled, so will God’s word come to pass in your life when it is truly from Him.

---

Conclusion

Be cautious, be prayerful, and always test what you hear by the Word. A true prophetic word will always glorify Jesus and align with God’s truth.

---

Key Takeaways

• Test every prophetic word by the Scriptures (1 John 4:1).

• Prophetic words must align with the truth that Jesus came in the flesh.

• You have a right and responsibility to discern and seek confirmation from God.

• Not every “word from God” is actually from Him—beware of false prophecy.

• Prophecies may take time to manifest—be patient and stay obedient.

• God confirms His Word through signs, Scripture, and spiritual peace.

---

Obedience and discernment keep us in alignment with God’s perfect will—trust His timing and test all things by His Word.

Chapter 3: Tuning In – Recognizing and Obeying the Voice of God

God is always speaking to His children. When we quiet ourselves before Him and become intentional about hearing His voice, He reveals His will, His guidance, and His love. Obedience begins with knowing His voice.

---

Opening Prayer and Acknowledgment

Good morning, saints. I’m so glad to be with you again. God is good, and He is worthy of all praise. Let us begin with prayer.

Heavenly Father,
Forgive us of our sins. As I speak today, let every listener be edified, inspired, and encouraged. May Your Word bring revelation knowledge and stir a deeper desire to know You personally. We declare this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

---

Hearing God’s Voice and Knowing His Leading

Yesterday, we focused on identifying and discerning the voice of God. Many people say, “Let the Spirit be your guide,” but we must remember that not every spirit is of God (1 John 4:1). Demonic and deceptive spirits exist, and they often try to mimic the voice of God. This is why discernment is crucial.

We shared testimonies of people crying out to God—even unbelievers—in desperate situations. Many of them experienced divine deliverance because of God’s abundant mercy. That’s the kind of God we serve.

Let’s consider Gideon (Judges 6–7). He didn’t come from a wealthy or influential family, and he didn’t think highly of himself. Yet, God called him a “mighty man of valor” and chose him to deliver Israel from the Midianites.

Gideon desired assurance that he was truly hearing from God. He asked for a sign—a fleece wet with dew while the ground was dry, and then the reverse. God answered both times, giving Gideon the confidence he needed to proceed. God met Gideon where he was, just as He often meets us in our moments of uncertainty.

---

Meditation Prepares the Heart to Hear

As believers, we are called to go further in our walk with God. Philippians 4:8 instructs us:

“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”

When we meditate on these things, our minds become uncluttered. Peace replaces chaos, and clarity replaces confusion. It is in that stillness that we often hear God most clearly. Sometimes, He speaks during the mundane—while mowing the lawn, driving, or walking quietly. God desires to communicate with us always, not just in crisis.

---

Obedience in the Everyday

Some believe hearing from God is reserved for prophets or leaders. While the fivefold ministry is indeed a gift to the Church (Ephesians 4:11), we must understand that God desires to speak to all His children.

In the Old Testament, only the high priest could enter the Holy of Holies—and only once a year (Leviticus 16). A rope and bells were tied to his garment in case he died in the presence of the Lord. But since the veil was torn at Christ’s death (Matthew 27:51), we now have direct access to God.

Jesus said in John 10:27:

“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.”

The more time we spend with God and His Word, the easier it becomes to recognize His voice. Just as a radio must be tuned to the right frequency, our spiritual ears must be attuned to God’s voice. And once we lock into that frequency, divine communication flows freely.

Often, God’s instructions are simple. He may nudge you to bless your spouse or call a friend. And when you obey, you’ll find confirmation that it was indeed God speaking. This ongoing communication builds intimacy and trust with our Heavenly Father.

---

The Power of Daily Confession and Repentance

James 4:8 reminds us:

“Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”

Before I begin each day—and before I go to bed—I ask God to forgive me. It clears the spiritual slate. Revelation 12:10 tells us that the accuser of the brethren accuses us day and night. But when we walk in daily repentance, the enemy has no foothold.

Coming to God with a pure heart isn’t about perfection—it’s about alignment. You cannot come to God only when you need something, treating Him like a vending machine. Nor can we “pimp” God with empty promises, claiming we’ll change only if He gets us out of trouble.

God, in His mercy, may still deliver us. But He desires genuine repentance and relationship. Even in moments of insincerity, He may intervene—knowing that a true transformation may come later as we remember His goodness.

---

Walking in Alignment with God

When we draw near to God, we begin to align our hearts, desires, priorities, and behaviors with His will. This alignment allows us to walk in obedience. We don’t follow God just for blessings—we follow Him because of who He is.

He desires to lead, guide, and speak to you daily. When you begin tuning in, discerning, and obeying His voice, you’ll experience a deeper walk with Him. You’ll discover that obedience isn’t burdensome—it’s a blessing.

---

Closing Thought

God’s voice is near. Draw close, stay pure, and listen with expectation. Obedience to His voice will change your life.

---

Key Takeaways

• God speaks to us personally, not just through prophets or leaders.
  John 10:27 – “My sheep hear My voice…”

• Discernment is vital—many voices compete for your attention.
  1 John 4:1 – “Test the spirits to see whether they are from God.”

• God meets us where we are—just like He did with Gideon.
  Judges 6:36–40

• Meditating on God’s Word creates a clear space to hear Him.
  Philippians 4:8

• Daily repentance silences the accuser and keeps your heart aligned.
  James 4:8; Revelation 12:10

• Hearing and obeying God leads to an intimate relationship and divine direction.
  James 1:22 – “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only…”

---

Conclusion:
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Tune in, obey, and walk in the blessings that follow. He is always speaking—are you listening?

Chapter 2: Discerning the Voice of God

“Learning to hear God’s voice is a journey of prayer, patience, and spiritual sensitivity. True obedience begins when we can distinguish His voice from all others.”

---

So happy to be with you again and so thankful to be alive and well in the land of the living. What a blessing it is to be used by God for His glory and His purpose. We’re excited to continue our series, The Benefits of Obedience, with Part Two. Let’s get started!

Opening Prayer:
Father, forgive me of all sin. I come before You with gratitude that my voice can be used for Your glory and honor. Let Your words be spoken through me. May the people of God be edified. I declare this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

---

Let the Spirit Be Your Guide

During meditation for this lesson, a familiar phrase entered my spirit: “Let the Spirit be your guide.” Many of us have heard this before—but the question we must ask is, which spirit is guiding us? It is essential to know who is leading you—because not every voice is God’s voice.

Some have committed terrible acts claiming God instructed them. But we must be able to discern: Was it truly God? Or the god of this world? (2 Corinthians 4:4)

Let’s walk through how to recognize God’s voice in a world filled with noise.

---

How to Discern God’s Voice

Here are several key ways to sharpen your spiritual hearing:

1. Prayer

Begin by sincerely speaking to God. Ask Him directly:
“Lord, I need Your guidance. Please give me an answer.”

Then be still and patient. God’s voice brings peace, not confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33). His voice does not condemn or shame. Instead, it edifies, sanctifies, and leads with love.

As Philippians 4:6–7 (KJV) reminds us:

“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”

Let peace confirm that you’ve heard from Him.

---

2. Studying the Word

The more time you spend in God’s Word, the easier it becomes to recognize His voice. Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) declares:

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.”

Speak to God from the heart—no need for lofty language. He desires sincerity, not performance (1 Samuel 16:7).

The Bible is the primary way God speaks. Hebrews 4:12 reminds us that His Word is “quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword.”

---

3. Meditation & Quiet Time

In stillness, God speaks. 1 Kings 19:12 tells us Elijah heard God in a still small voice. Set aside time to quiet your mind and just listen. This may come as an impression, a nudge in your spirit, or clarity that brings peace.

---

4. Visions, Dreams, and Impressions

Throughout Scripture, God often spoke through visions and dreams. (See Genesis 37:5, Acts 2:17.) He may still do this today. But always test the source—compare it to the Word of God.

---

5. Godly Counsel

Sometimes God speaks through the wisdom of spiritual mentors or counselors. Proverbs 11:14 (KJV) says:

“Where no counsel is, the people fall: but in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.”

God can use trusted believers to confirm what He’s already speaking to your heart.

---

6. Circumstances and Divine Timing

Life itself can be a classroom. At times, God allows situations to get your attention. While not every circumstance is a divine message, many are opportunities to reflect, repent, and realign.

Romans 8:28 reminds us:

“And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.”

---

Be An Active Listener

Obedience begins with relationship. To recognize God’s voice, you must first belong to Him. John 10:27 (KJV) says:

“My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.”

Draw close to God and He promises to draw close to you (James 4:8). The more time you spend with Him, the more familiar His voice becomes.

---

The Power of Discernment

Discernment means to test, prove, and examine (1 Thessalonians 5:21). When it comes to your spiritual walk, nothing is more vital than discerning what is truly of God.

As Billy Graham once said:

“The authors of Scripture made it clear that God was speaking to them and through them. More than 3,000 times they said, ‘Thus saith the Lord.’”

He still speaks today—through Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and sincere hearts ready to listen.

---

Final Encouragement

God desires to guide you. He longs to be your source of wisdom and peace. Whether through Scripture, prayer, counsel, or a still small voice—He will speak. But we must be still, sincere, and willing to wait.

Psalm 46:10 says:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”

Even in a fast-paced world, there is blessing in waiting. Let obedience start with hearing and obeying His voice above all others.

---

✨ Takeaways

• God’s voice brings peace, not confusion.

• You must belong to God to recognize His voice.

• Prayer and Bible study strengthen your spiritual hearing.

• Discernment means testing what you hear against Scripture.

• God speaks through visions, dreams, and wise counsel.

• Be patient—sometimes God speaks through silence or waiting.

---

Closing Thought:
God is always speaking—through His Word, His Spirit, and His creation. Draw near, be patient, and let obedience begin with a listening heart.

The Benefits of Obedience
Chapter 1: The Call to Purposeful Living

Each day is a gift, and today is no exception. If you’re reading this, God has blessed you with another chance to pursue His will. Let us open our hearts and prepare to receive the transformative power of obedience.

---

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, I thank You for another day of life. I ask for Your forgiveness of sins. As I speak, use my words to edify, encourage, and build up every listener and reader. Let Your Spirit guide this message, and may it ignite a desire in each person to walk in obedience to Your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

---

A Life Aligned with Purpose

Obedience is not simply about following rules; it is a way of aligning with God’s divine purpose for your life. As we seek God and draw near to Him, He begins to reveal the reasons we are here and the calling that rests upon our lives.

When we obey God, even when it involves transitions that are uncomfortable—moving away from home, family, or familiar environments—we open ourselves to His greater purpose. You may be wondering, Why am I here? This is a question worth asking, because discovering your purpose leads to a more fulfilled life.

---

The Blessing in Transition

Sometimes, obedience requires transition. And in transition, there is blessing. For me, leaving California wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. That step of faith helped eliminate distractions and gave me a clearer focus on my God-given purpose.

Transition can bring:

• Personal growth: Learning to adapt and follow God’s leading stretches and strengthens you.

• Clarity: With distractions removed, I could better reflect on my purpose.

• New perspectives: Moving out of my comfort zone opened up new insights and opportunities.

Ask yourself today: What is my purpose? What has God spoken to me?

---

Reflection, Prayer, and Direction

During seasons of uncertainty, I often found myself drawn closer to God in prayer. The challenges pushed me to seek His face more earnestly, and in doing so, I experienced tremendous personal and spiritual growth. Jeremiah 29:13 says, “You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”

God uses these seasons of discomfort to refine us. As we draw near to Him, He defines and reveals our purpose more clearly. Obedience becomes easier when we understand the “why” behind the call.

---

Leaving the Familiar Behind

There is something powerful about stepping out of the familiar. It opens us up to hear God more clearly and mature in faith. Sometimes, the people and environments around us are not conducive to our growth. Like crabs in a bucket, they may try to pull us back.

Separation is often necessary. Not everyone can go where God is taking you. Don’t resist the separation if God is calling you to it. Be obedient.

Like Abraham, who obeyed God’s voice and left everything familiar (Genesis 12:1–4), we must be willing to go where God sends us—even if it’s uncomfortable. When God calls you out, He’s also preparing to bless you.

---

The Promise of Blessing

In Mark 10:29–30 (KJV), Jesus said:

“Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s,
But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.”

This is a promise. Obedience to God comes with divine reward. When we left everything familiar, we did it in obedience to God. And God has honored that obedience with blessings that we couldn’t have received if we had stayed where we were.

---

Real-Life Testimonies

Since being obedient to God’s call:

• My family has flourished—my children are blessed, and I now have grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

• I was honored with a Stellar Award.

• I was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

Had we stayed in California, we may have missed these blessings. Obedience opened doors we didn’t even know existed. It proved that God already had things prepared—we simply needed to follow His voice.

---

Final Encouragement

You may not feel significant, but you are important to God. He created you with purpose and intention. Your obedience is the key that unlocks the blessings He has prepared for you.

Don’t stay stuck in the same place, doing the same things. Seek God. Pray. Get His direction. Then follow it. The blessing is in your obedience.

---

Conclusion

God’s blessings are already in place—you just have to obey to walk into them. Seek Him, trust Him, and go where He leads.

---

Key Takeaways

• Obedience aligns you with God’s purpose – When you seek Him, He reveals your reason for being.

• Transitions lead to growth – Leaving comfort zones opens doors for personal and spiritual development.

• Challenges refine your character – Difficult seasons drive you to prayer and deeper relationship with God.

• Not everyone can go with you – Separation is sometimes necessary for elevation.

• Blessings follow obedience – As seen in Mark 10:29–30, God rewards those who leave everything for His sake.

• Your purpose matters – You are important to God, and He has prepared good things in advance for your obedience.

---

God’s direction leads to blessing—trust Him, follow Him, and watch His promises unfold in your life.

Chapter 5: Trusting God Through Transitions — How Faith Sustains You in Seasons of Change
The Blessings of Obedience

---

Opening Prayer

Heavenly Father, forgive me of my sins. Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Redeemer. Use these words to edify, encourage, and build up Your people. Speak through me today, Lord. Bless every reader, in Jesus’ name. Amen.

---

The Power of a Daily Clean Slate

For those joining me for the first time, you’ll often hear me begin with, “Father, forgive me of sin.” Some time ago, the Lord gave me a revelation that before I go to sleep and the moment I rise, I should ask God for forgiveness. Why? Because the Bible says in Revelation 12:10 that the accuser of the brethren—Satan—accuses us before God day and night.

By beginning and ending each day with repentance, you clear the spiritual slate. You leave no room for the enemy’s accusations. It’s a simple but powerful practice. None of us can look over our day under a microscope and be certain we’ve done everything right. So, just say: “Father, forgive me of sin.” Amen.

---

Hearing God’s Voice in Times of Transition

Yesterday, we discussed the critical importance of receiving direction from God. When facing a transition, be it personal, professional, or spiritual, you must be grounded in God’s instruction.

Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27). Proverbs 3:5–6 reminds us: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). As you seek Him wholeheartedly, you will hear clearly from Him. That word from God becomes your anchor when the winds of transition try to shake your faith.

---

When Human Promises Fail, God’s Word Prevails

During one of my own transitions, I received a verbal commitment from leadership that was later broken. My family had moved across the country based on this promise. When that vow was not fulfilled, it could have devastated us—if not for the firm foundation we had in God.

Ecclesiastes 5:5 says, “It is better not to vow than to make a vow and not fulfill it.” People may fail, but God never does.

Like Abraham, we must “not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but be strengthened in faith, giving glory to God” (Romans 4:20). Abraham was “fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised”(Romans 4:21). That’s the same confidence I had. Regardless of human failure, God provided for us because we obeyed His direction.

---

God’s Unfailing Support

Let me tell you something: God has your back. That assurance doesn’t come from the world—it comes from the Almighty. He does not sleep nor slumber (Psalm 121:4). His angels are encamped around those who fear Him (Psalm 34:7). Whatever the enemy means for evil, God can turn it for good (Genesis 50:20).

Romans 8:28 affirms, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.” If you know you’re called, then trust that God will not fail you or forsake you.

---

Self-Care in Seasons of Change

Transitions can take a toll on your mental, emotional, and physical health. Take care of yourself:

• Eat well.

• Exercise regularly.

• Get sufficient rest.

Why? Because Jeremiah 29:11 declares that God has a purpose for your life—“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” You can’t walk into that future if your body and mind are weary. Prioritize self-care so you can carry out God’s purpose effectively.

---

Focus on the Positive

While transitions often come with challenges, choose to focus on the good. When my family and I arrived in our new city, we didn’t have a place to stay. Finances were uncertain, and promises had been broken. But we chose to focus on God’s goodness.

Yes, acknowledge challenges—but also look for the hidden blessings. Even leaving California had unexpected benefits. Praise God through it all.

---

Break Big Changes Into Small Steps

Adjust gradually. We didn’t have a home when we arrived, but we kept moving forward. One step at a time, we worked toward stability. Eventually, we were able to secure a rental home and rebuild. Transition doesn’t happen overnight. Trust God for daily provision and take manageable steps forward.

---

Reflect on Past Experiences

Your history is filled with victories. Go back and reflect on how God brought you through before. Apply those lessons to your present. This isn’t your first storm—so don’t act like it is.

Peter began to sink when he focused on the wind and waves instead of Jesus (Matthew 14:30). Keep your eyes on Christ, the “author and finisher of our faith” (Hebrews 12:2), and you’ll walk on water too.

---

Be Patient With Yourself

Change takes time. Don’t be too hard on yourself if things don’t go perfectly. Setbacks will come, but they don’t define you. Keep pressing forward, knowing that God is shaping you in the process.

---

Conclusion
Obedience to God in times of transition positions you to experience His faithfulness like never before. Trust His direction, care for yourself, and remain rooted in His Word.

---

Key Takeaways

• Start and end your day with repentance to clear the slate and shut down the accuser’s access.

• Seek clear direction from God before and during transitions—His voice brings stability.

• Don’t be shaken by broken human promises—God’s Word always stands.

• Practice self-care to remain physically and mentally strong for God’s assignment.

• Focus on the good and praise God even when circumstances are challenging.

• Reflect on past victories and be patient with your progress—God is still working.
