Joshua 14:7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions. “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” What we consistently believe and meditate on shapes our convictions and forms our belief system. The things that we are constantly thinking about are making a permanent mark on our cerebral cortex. Hence what we meditate on becomes our conviction and our convictions drive our confessions and conduct. The Lord God looks at our convictions and our conversations...

Mark 9:33-34 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” Jesus is the silent guest who observes and listens to everything that happens in our homes. He is part of the ego tantrums, silly arguments and erratic emotional outbursts. He not only hears our humble prayers in the prayer closet but also takes part in the prideful outbursts self-centered discourse. Jesus was an...

Joshua 10:12-13 Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.” So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies. “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” The Lord God not only hears our prayers but He sees the faith in our heart. Our conversations with the Saviour with faith are powerful. The supernatural power of God is unleashed into the natural realm by our prayer conversations. Joshua had a conversation with the Lord audibly in the...

John 21:3 Peter told them, “I’m going fishing.” And they all replied, “We’ll go with you.” “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” The resurrected Saviour, Jesus, heard the frustration, fear and desperation in the conversation of the disciples. They chose to go back to their previous profession and lifestyle. Their vision to change the world and their ambition to overthrow the Romans regime was dissipated when Jesus died on the cross. Not knowing how to handle the disappointment, they chose to keep themselves busy. Jesus met the disciples who had gone back to fishing and reinstalled them to...

Malachi 3:16 Then those who feared the Lord talked with each other, and the Lord listened and heard. A scroll of remembrance was written in his presence concerning those who feared the Lord and honored his name. “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” The casual chats and conversation of those who walk in the reverential fear of the Lord are recorded in a “scroll of remembrance”. Every time we talk about the goodness of God, testify about His faithfulness or share our divine victories, the scroll of remembrance is opened. I believe it is digitized and stored in the...

Numbers 12:1-2 Miriam and Aaron began to talk against Moses because of his Cushite wife, for he had married a Cushite. “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the Lord heard this. “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” Don’t be quick to judge and condemn. But let everyone be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger (James 1:19). One of the most difficult commandments to obey is to control our mind and mouth. Before we realize our mind judges and mouth blurts out unkind comments. Controlling our...

1 Samuel 17:26b Who is this uncircumcised Philistine that he should defy the armies of the living God?” “God sees our heart and hears our conversations” Living with the awareness that the Sovereign Lord is watching and listening to us 24/7 will change the way we think and talk. Many are under the illusion that God hears and notices us only when we pray. The eyes of the Lord are fixated on us. He hears our silly thoughts, unnecessary remarks and judgemental discourse as much as He gives attention to our earnest prayers. Our casual conversation has the same effect...
