Q3. What did Simeon's and Anna's righteousness, devotion, and praise have to do with their sensitivity to the Holy Spirit's voice?{/b} Answer: They put in the necessary time and devotion, with expectation, to hear the voice of God through prayer and fasting so that the Holy Spirit could have free reign to impart and download the TRUTH of God's word inclusive of His promises in their lives and in the lives of an entire nation. When God says "Be still and know that I am God, He is essentially saying, in my opinion, stop what you're doing and sit down, I want to talk to you!" {b}What are some of the reasons that we can't hear God? Answer: We won't hear God's voice if we continue to conjure up in our own minds our agendas and priorities which pale in comparison to the unique and specific plans HE has ordained for His children collectively, yet individually. For example, you may have four children who all need new shoes; as a mom you will see to it that they all get new shoes. However, each child has a different shoe size which is tailored just for them. Once fitted, all children have been provided for but in a very specific way. God IS very strategic, specific, right, and good ALL the time and all the time God IS Good!!! "For I know the thoughts I think toward you sayeth the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expectant end." (Jeremiah 29:11.)
