Be sensitive to God

To all my beloved brothers and sisters,
One of the greatest gift from God is the Holy Spirit that is in us when we come to believe that Jesus Christ is our Lord and savior. And the wonderful thing is that we can develop our sensitivity to the Holy Spirit. I believe this comes with a seeking heart, invested time and practice of obedience. With it, we can align ourselves to Gods direction and work. And people of God can be in unity.
However, It is always sin that shuts our eyes and mute our hears towards the Holy Spirit in us. We can do many work, hear many things, but our life is just dead. No matter how much we stuff the word down our throats into our brain, the life just seems dead. We never seem to know what God is doing around us. Most of the time we probably just assume. So what is the sin in your life that separates you from being sensitive to the Holy Spirit? (Repent)
(Replace)But with a humble seeking heart, with confession and prayers. God will never leave us aside but will surely revitalize us and help us to experience His life all over again. To be able to enjoy the intermacy with God is a wonderful thing. It is the best love relationship we can have on earth... Just like friends, when we spend more time together we will know one another better, and so is the Holy Spirit. (Revive) Then God will be able to use you to do His mighty work, while you can experience the greatest peace and joy in partnership with Him.
"But blessed are your eyes for they see, and your ears for they hear." (Matthew 13:16)
When you became a Christian, God gave you spiritual sight and hearing so you could begin experiencing His presence and activity all around you. The Holy Spirit helps you to develop these spiritual senses as you walk with Him. Spiritual sensitivity to God is a gift that must be accepted and exercised. Scripture indicates that those who are spiritually dead cannot see or understand spiritual things (Matt. 13:14–15). Without spiritual eyes, you can be right in the midst of a mighty act of God and not recognize it.There is a radical difference between seeing your surroundings from a human perspective and seeing life through spiritual eyes. Non-Christians will see world events around them and become confused. You will look at the same events, recognize the activity of God, and adjust your life to Him. When you meet a person who is seeking God, you will recognize the convicting work of the Holy Spirit and adjust your life to God’s activity (Rom. 3:11). Someone without spiritual perception will encounter that same person and not grasp the eternal significance of what is happening in that person’s life. Others will hear of new philosophies and trends in society and not know how to discern the truth. You will hear God’s voice over the din of the world’s voices, and you will keep your bearings in the midst of the confusing circumstances.
Sin dulls your senses, ultimately leaving you spiritually blind and deaf. Do not be content with merely seeing with physical eyes and hearing with natural ears but not sensing what God is doing. Ask God, through the power of the Holy Spirit, to sensitize you to His activity all around you.
