Awareness in the Spirit & Making God’s Word Common

Let’s stay engaged for a moment as we reflect on two powerful portions of Scripture.

1. The Awareness of Faith – Luke Chapter 8

In Luke 8, we see the story of the woman with the issue of blood.

She is in a crowd.

People are pressing against Jesus from every side—shoulder to shoulder.

Physically, many are touching Him.

But suddenly, something happens.

One woman, by faith, reaches out and touches the hem of His garment.

And Jesus stops.

He asks,

“Who touched Me?”

The disciples are confused—everyone is touching Him.

But Jesus responds:

“Someone touched Me, for I perceived power has gone out from Me.”

A Spiritual Reality

In the natural, many were touching Him.

But in the spirit, only one truly connected.

There was a subtle but powerful difference:

Many had physical contact

One had faith-filled connection

The Impartation

Can you imagine living with that level of spiritual awareness?

To discern what is happening in the spirit

To recognize faith

To perceive God moving even in a crowd

This is the kind of awareness God wants to release in His people today.

There is an impartation available for the Body of Christ—

to become sensitive to the Spirit.

2. When the Word Was Rare – 1 Samuel 3:1

Now look at 1 Samuel 3:1:

“In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.”

During Samuel’s time, God’s voice was not commonly heard.

Samuel’s Assignment

When the Word of the Lord was rare…

Samuel’s calling was to make it common again.

And he did it faithfully.

Your Zone Is Your Assignment

Let me ask you:

Who here is a father or mother? → That is your zone

Who is in business or employment? → That is your zone

Who is in government or leadership? → That is your zone

Who is in media, entertainment, or community influence? → That is your zone

The Reality

In many of our zones today:

The Word of the Lord is rare

But here is the truth:

It is your responsibility to make it common

A Call to Surrender

Right now, there is an invitation:

To lay ourselves down

To become available

To hear His voice again

Like an altar before the Lord.

Prayer

Jesus, right now,

we lay ourselves down as a church body, as a community.

We surrender ourselves to You.

God, open us up to hear Your voice.

Make us aware of the spiritual realm—

aware of what is broken,

aware of what You are doing.

In the name of Jesus Christ:

Let broken hearts be restored

Let broken souls be healed

Let every lie be destroyed

God, we commit ourselves to You.

Teach us to hear Your voice

and to make Your Word common again—

In our homes

In our children’s lives

In our workplaces

In our communities

Lord, wherever You have placed us,

Empower us to speak Your Word boldly.

Final Surrender

God, we lay ourselves down now

as living sacrifices before You.

Let us hear Your voice

and speak Your Word faithfully.

In Jesus’ name,

Amen.
