Leaders, Icons, and Role Model's
There are some people that when they walk into a room people will give them their undivided attention because people know what that person is about to say can change their life.
People have paid thousands of dollars to hear certain individuals speak because that person has experience, a track record of success, they are experts in their field, and any advice they give is highly valuable.
Even if its for 15 mins these highly sought out individuals are paid thousands if not millions of dollars from people just to be in their space to catch one word of advice.
But, the same admiration we give human beings we should be giving much more to God, because as believers if we knew who was talking to us, then we will never take God’s word lightly or discount what He says.
Reverence for God
The reason why some of us don’t revere and admire God is because we don’t truly know who is speaking to us. It’s similar to being in the presence of royalty and don’t know it. This is how some of us are with God. We have this Supreme being in our life’s and have yet to recognize His greatest and value.
As much as we admire these men and woman because of what they possess we should admire God way more because of what He possess.
If we would pay copious amount of money to a person for something that may or may not change our lives, why don’t we listen to free advice from someone who knows everything, and whose words will transform our lives for the better?
This is the type of being that God is. His wisdom is the highest, actually it’s far greater, exceeding what anyone who has ever existed can attain.
He can speak our future into existence, meaning He is able to make what was not there, exist.
He already knows the plan He has for us, so He’s not guessing (Jeremiah 29:11).
He knows what tomorrow will bring because He sees tomorrow currently and He’s the one that controls our future (James 4:13-15; Ecclesiastes 7:14).
Unlike when we give or receive advice and it may not happen, what God says is certain and will happen (Proverbs 19:21).
He alone can provide us with assurance and peace, no matter what we are facing (Matthew 11:28).
God's words are higher, deeper, and more powerful than anything we are going through and can understand.
God has the authority to give orders, make decisions, and enforce them.
People in high positions or experts, their words may have authority, but God’s words has the ultimate authority.
In the book of Isaiah, we are reminded, "The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever" (Isaiah 40:8). This verse summarizes the eternal truth and authority that God's word holds over all things.
If we know who God is, the first and only person we will listen and take advice from is Him. This doesn’t mean when a person sent by God speaks to you that you should ignore them because He does send people to speak to His children. In fact, He communicates to us through various means.
He speaks through His written word the Bible, to our hearts and spirit, and by other methods like people, books, visions, dreams, revelation, insight, and possibly more.
Great men and woman can provide great advice but what they can’t do is change your reality. The only person that can do that is God.
By having faith in God's Word, you can overcome any circumstances such as sickness, poverty, disease, depression, affliction, or struggle.
His authority has the power to reverse and change those facts. He is the only one that can overturn our reality. People may give great advice that may hit or miss but only God’s words have guarantee transformative power.
Ecclesiastes 3:11-14 says, God makes everything happen at the right time. Yet none of us can ever fully understand all He has done, and He puts questions in our minds about the past and the future.
Who else has this ability? There is no one and there will never be anyone equal or in the same class as God (Genesis 22:16).
Whenever God speaks, it is not imaginary or theoretical; it is real! An excerpt from God's Word Work
God doesn't waste words
When God communicates, He is not guessing or speculating. He chooses His words intentionally. Each of His actions and words fulfills a specific purpose, both safegurading and benefiting us.
God's advice is invariably beneficial and leads to significant positive results. No advice outside of God can excel it.
This needs to really be driven home or emphasize who is talking to us and how far more powerful this is. Because for some, our lives would be significantly better if we had followed God's guidance.
When God reveals something to us, we should seek to understand its purpose, as it benefits us and furthers God's Kingdom.
So, the next time God speaks to you remember what He says has the power and ability to change your mindset, heart, and life.

A call for salvation
When you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, His spirit will become one with yours. This is one of the greatest blessings of salvation. You don't have to go through someone else to get to God, as you and Him are now one.
All you must do is receive salvation, simply choosing to repent of your sins and welcome Jesus into your life by confessing Him as Lord. In Romans 10:9 Paul said, "If you confess with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved."
Here's a Prayer that you can pray to get saved:
Jesus, I confess that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that you died and were risen for my sins. I ask for forgiveness of my sins, and I accept you as my personal Lord and Savior—in Jesus' name, Amen.
After this step, pray for guidance to find a ministry where you can grow spiritually, gain knowledge about the kingdom, and begin living the abundant life promised by Jesus.
