“How To Develop Sensitivity To God’s Spirit” – Lesson 2
We’re talking about sensitivity to God’s Spirit. Let’s look at what the word sensitive means in the English Dictionary. It is defined as 1) capable of being stimulated or excited by external relationships 2) highly responsive.
We never want to lose our ability to become stimulated and excited by the presence of God (external agent). We should be highly responsive. It reminds me of the story of John the Baptist in the womb of Elizabeth when he came into the presence of Jesus in the womb of Mary. Elizabeth said that when Mary had made her salutation John leaped inside of her in response to the presence of the Lord inside of Mary. That’s being stimulated and excited by an external agent. It’s amazing that he was able to respond to Jesus and to recognize His presence through being “highly responsive”.
The word sensitivity is defined as 1) the degree to which a radio receiving set responds to incoming waves. I love that. A cheap radio doesn’t respond well, but an expensive, finely tuned radio responds very well to the incoming radio waves.
Do you want to be a “cheap transistor radio” or a “fine stereo component?” To what degree do you want to respond to the incoming waves of God’s presence, His Word, and His voice? I’d like to be “highly responsive and stimulated”.
Next week we’re going to continue this thought on “Developing Sensitivity To God’s Spirit.”
God bless you. I look forward to talking with you next week.
