From Watchful Believers

Jim Bakker once asked the Lord: "Lord, I am not that holy. Why do You keep on using me?"

And the Lord answered: "Because you always say, 'Yes.'"

Jim Bakker once asked the Lord: "Lord, I am not that holy. Why do You keep on using me?"

And the Lord answered: "Because you always say, 'Yes.'"

This is the power of a simple “Yes” to God. A reminder that God is not looking for perfect people, He is looking for willing hearts.

Many of us disqualify ourselves because we see our weaknesses, our failures, our past mistakes, and the areas where we still need to grow. We say, "Lord, there are others more gifted than me. Others more spiritual than me. Others more qualified than me."

But throughout Scripture, God has always used ordinary people who simply surrendered.

There's Moses who said, "I am slow of speech and tongue." Gideon who said, "My clan is the weakest and I am the least in my family." Peter denied Jesus three times and David had failures that could have ended his story. Yet God still called them. Why?

Because God does not use the strongest...He uses the surrendered.

A willing heart in the hands of God can accomplish what human ability never could and the greatest qualification is not perfection but availability.

Sometimes the reason God keeps calling you is not because you have everything figured out. It is because when He whispers, you still answer: "Yes, Lord."

Yes...when it is uncomfortable, when you feel afraid, when you don't have all the answers. When you feel inadequate, or even when you wonder if God can really use someone like you.

Your "yes" becomes the doorway for His power to work through your life.

Remember, the disciples were not chosen because they were impressive. They were chosen because they were willing to leave their nets and follow Him. And while the world may look for talent, influence, and perfection, God looks for surrender.

A small "yes" from a surrendered heart can become a great testimony in the hands of God.

So if today you feel unqualified, remember: God already knows your weaknesses, your struggles. He already knows you are not perfect and yet He is still calling you.

The question is not: "Am I good enough for God to use me?" The question is: "Will I say yes when He calls?"
..Because a surrendered yes can become the very thing God uses to change lives ❤️‍🔥

How to better listen to God.......Be STILL..first of all....

Listening to God is rarely dramatic. It isn't about loud voices or sudden visions. Often, it's quiet, subtle, and deeply personal. It requires slowing down, paying attention, and learning to notice His guidance in the ordinary, everyday moments.

1. Create space for stillness.
Life is noisy. Work, social media, responsibilities, and endless distractions make it hard to hear the gentle whispers of God.

To listen, we must pause, breathe, and intentionally quiet our minds. This stillness isn't empty. It's a fertile ground for God's voice to reach us.

"Be still, and know that I am God." - Psalm 46:10

2. Engage deeply with Scripture.
God primarily speaks to us through His Word. Reading the Bible slowly, reflecting on it, and asking Him for understanding allows His truth to shape our hearts. Words that once seemed familiar suddenly carry weight, convict, encourage, or guide in ways we never noticed before.

"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." - Psalm 119:105

3. Pray to hear, not just to speak.
Prayer is not a monologue. Listening requires us to be silent enough to notice God's guidance. Sometimes He speaks through a sense of peace, a strong conviction, or gentle nudges in our hearts. The more we practice this posture, the more we recognize His voice amid the clutter of our thoughts.

"Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." - Jeremiah 33:3

4. Seek confirmation through life and counsel.
God often confirms His guidance through circumstances, godly advice, and alignment with Scripture. When what we sense aligns with His truth, brings peace, and encourages love, it's often a sign of His direction. Trusting this process takes patience and humility.

"If anyone is willing to do his will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or is self-made." - John 7:17

5. Practice discernment and patience.
Not every thought, feeling, or impression comes from God. Learning to distinguish His voice requires practice, prayer, and time. The more we engage with Him, the more attuned our hearts become to His guidance. Spiritual listening is cultivated over a lifetime, not in a single moment.

"But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil." - Hebrews 5:14

Today, choose one intentional way to listen to God: a moment of silence, a Bible verse, or a prayer where you wait for Him.

Ask Him to speak and trust that even small steps of listening are shaping a heart attuned to Him. Over time, His voice will become unmistakable.

" Do not be afraid to ask God what he is calling you to," says
Pope Leo VIV.

"He alone knows the deepest, perhaps hidden longings of your heart, the path that will lead you to true fulfillment," he added.

"Let us ask the mother of Christ to lead us to Jesus Christ, her son, so that we may truly come to know him, to know his love for us and the marvelous plan he has for each of our lives."

"What do you seek?" This question, which Jesus asked His disciples, is the same question He asks us today. Pope Leo, in his message to attendees of SEEK26, a...
