Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart
Romans 8:4, “That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.”
The subject of the Spirit’s writing on our hearts in the new covenant is the law of God as it is described by the Lord Himself in Matthew 5–7.
In these chapters, what the Lord spoke is the righteous requirement of the law.
It is the inner reality of the outward law.
Now this uplifted law is being written upon our hearts by the Spirit.
It is this Spirit-writing that constitutes the Lord’s voice within us.
The evidence of our hearing the Lord’s voice is both the consciousness we have within our hearts as well as the inclination of our hearts.
For example, the very consciousness and prompting within us forbidding us to take a certain course of action or hold a certain attitude is His speaking within.
The consciousness itself is the Lord’s voice.
This kind of consciousness may also be understood as a consciousness of life, because the nature of the consciousness is an inner awareness that is being supplied to us by the life of God.
If we cooperate with this consciousness, or in other words, if we listen to the Lord’s voice within, and by faith obey His forbidding feeling, we will unlock the floodgate of the Spirit of life into our whole being.
It is important to know that His voice always comes with this supply of His presence and grace.
Until Tomorrow
