Faith in Focus: “The Whisper”

(1 Kings 19:11-12, NIV)

“The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”

Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. 12 After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper.”

Definition of: The Presence Principle — the acquired drive to seek God’s presence and avoid selfish motivations, expressed by the Holy Spirit as a guiding force that overrides carnal intentions

5 Reasons Why You Need a 5-second Marriage
  1. Marriage engagement should be more Holy Spirit-driven and less driven by you
  2. Your spouse needs God’s touch more than your touch
  3. You have very limited insight into what God is working and fulfilling in your spouse
  4. You need to hone your God sensitivity in your home and beyond (and marriage is the best and most challenging practice)
  5. You benefit more than your spouse. It is part of your growth.
