Listen to God

GOD SPEAKS AND I LISTEN. I ACT UPON MY DIVINE DIRECTION.

If you have sought God’s direction and listened within to know which path to take, you must utilize, express, or act upon that which you have heard. Invest your whole self in doing just that. Let your thoughts and feelings, as well as your words and actions, reflect the ideas that God has given to you. There is no need to drag through life bored, tired, and dull. It is unnecessary to allow yourself to be the victim of erroneous beliefs, superstitions, limited thinking, and ignorance.

Wake up, child of God! You and God are inseparable. As the threads in a lovely fabric are interwoven to make a thing of beauty, so is your life interwoven with God. Claim your divine heritage. Assert your right to live as a unique being made in the image and likeness of God. As Creator, it is God’s nature to create.

As someone made in God’s image and likeness, you are a creative spiritual being, having all the qualities of God within you. You ought to be living creatively. God’s life is your life; your life is God’s life. Awaken to this truth. Listen to what God is telling you, and live accordingly. You will reap rich rewards!

Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening. (1 Samuel 3:9)

Your Divine Plan

By Rev. Joyce Kramer

Transcript of a radio broadcast by Rev. Joyce Kramer, January 21, 2014.

What do you want out of life? Do you know? Few people have any real concrete picture of just what they want out of life. Consequently it seems that they live at the mercy of someone or something other than themselves. Thus we have the belief that we are the victim of things over which we have little or no control.

Each and every person is created with the ability and the power to determine his own future. Man is not at the whim of fate, luck, or chance. Neither is he created to be at the mercy of another person [ . . .]

The Joyce Kramer Ministries logo depicts a dogwood tree planted across the entrance to the church that Rev. Kramer founded in Virginia Beach. Transplanted from her brother’s property in Charlottesville, for eighteen months the tree seemed nothing more than a lifeless stick in the ground. Finally, on a Wednesday afternoon, the decision was made to dig it up, but the lawn maintenance man did not have a shovel with him. The next week, he said, he would come back and discard the dead tree. But that Sunday when Rev. Kramer arrived at church, she noticed a single leaf had appeared on the otherwise barren stick. They left the tree in place, and it grew into one of the most beautiful on the property. This flowering dogwood represents the message of Joyce Kramer Ministries: Growth is always possible; never give up.
