It's an uneasiness in your spirit that says, "This just isn't right." That's probably the stirring of the Holy Spirit. Listen to that inner warning. But respond immediately and put on the Scripture brakes, respond to the shame warnings, to the Spirit tremors before sin drowns them out and you grab a plateful of regrets. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/voice-majors-6959 2013-09-17T12:36:57-05:00 Like that little goat, you just have to accumulate experience in hearing your Shepherd's voice in your heart, each day, all through the day. And then when He calls, you'll leap His direction, because all of us Shepherd-needing folks are trained by one vital skill. We all need to be voice majors; majoring in recognizing the voice of our Jesus. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/someone-else-shuts-the-door-6832 2013-03-19T09:51:14-05:00 Today the door is open! God paid with the blood of His Son for you to go to heaven, but you've got to come while He's calling. You can meet Jesus at His cross today. He's been waiting for you there. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/lance-lies-and-a-look-in-the-mirror-6820 2013-03-01T09:53:33-05:00 We may think lying is no big deal. It is to God, and we're going to answer to Him some day. On the Bible list of "six things the Lord hates," lying is the only one that appears twice in Proverbs 6:16-19. And in our word today from the Word of God in Psalm 101:7, He bluntly declares that "no one who practices deceit will dwell in My house." God is a God of truth. Lying sets God against me. Dishonesty is a very big deal. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-familiar-voice-6796 2013-01-28T10:21:08-05:00 God's will then is a day becoming a week, becoming a month, and then eventually a month becomes a "God's will" year. And through each daily obedience He is making you into the right person, who will be at the right place, at the right time, with the right people. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/hes-never-lost-a-rescue-6792 2013-01-22T09:26:20-05:00 For you - for those you love - isn't it great to know that Christ rescues you from the death sentence of sin, and that He has never lost a rescue? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/what-the-storm-left-behind-6788 2013-01-16T10:07:34-05:00 Jesus is the One who can finally calm that lifelong storm in your restless soul with His storm-proof peace. Because you're safe, no matter what the wind and waves may do. Yes, the storm is bigger than you are, but your Jesus is bigger than your storm! http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/a-battlefield-christmas-6771 2012-12-27T15:40:24-05:00 Sin is the "all about me" choices that we've all made. Who hasn't? And it's because ultimately, we've hijacked our lives from the God who gave us our life. Where does that take us: Broken relationships, broken promises, broken dreams, broken marriages, broken hearts. And Jesus won when He came and paid our death penalty on that cross. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/closed-doors-at-christmas-6772 2012-12-27T15:18:08-05:00 Jesus said, "I have longed to gather you together, but you were not willing." And that tragedy continues today as Jesus tries to get into a life that He came for that first Christmas; that He died for on Good Friday - maybe yours. He paid such a high price for you. He loves you so much He doesn't want to lose you. He died to pay for the sin that would cause you to be shut out of Heaven. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/three-words-on-your-bill-6747 2012-11-26T12:05:08-05:00 A man I know stamped three incredible words on a huge debt, and Jesus wants to stamp those words on your bill with God: "Paid In Full." You don't ever have to carry the weight of your sin again, because Jesus said, "It is finished!"
