Develop Spiritual Sensitivity – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional May 1st

(Train Yourself To Be Spiritually Alert)

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Timothy 4:5 TPT
“So be alert to all these things and overcome every form of evil. Carry in your heart the passion of your calling…and fulfill your ministry calling.”

LET’S TALK
A lot of people are ignorant of spiritual matters, which is why life’s challenges leave them confused and struggling.

This shouldn’t be the case with you as a Christian, and that’s why it’s so important to develop your spiritual sensitivity.

You may ask, “Pastor Chris, how do I go about this?” It’s simply by studying and understanding God’s Word, learning His thoughts and ways.

2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”

As you study the Word, you’ve also got to train yourself to respond immediately to it. That’s why James 1:22 says to be doers of the Word. When you respond promptly to God’s Word, you condition your spirit to recognise its power in your life. That way, when challenges come, you won’t react in fear or confusion but in faith.

This practice trains your spirit to consistently align and respond to God rather than succumb to the dictates of the flesh.

Another key to spiritual sensitivity is being filled with the Spirit every day. This is where praying in the Spirit comes in.

1 Corinthians 14:14 says, “For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.” Praying in tongues or praying in the Spirit enhances your spiritual sensitivity.

When you speak in tongues, it’s the Holy Spirit guiding your spirit’s expressions. Your spirit, through this process, learns to function under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, contributing significantly to an increased sensitivity to God’s leading.

Go Deeper:
James 1:22; Ephesians 5:18-20; 1 Corinthians 14:2 & 13-15

Speak:
As I study and meditate on the Word, my spirit is conditioned to respond swiftly to God’s guidance, promptings, ideas and thoughts. My spiritual sensitivity is increased because I’m full of the Spirit always. I’m perceptive, insightful, filled with the Spirit of wisdom for revelation, to know and walk in the perfect will of God today and always. Praise God!
