Hello, and welcome back to Diary of a Black Woman Podcast.
00:00:03.937 --> 00:00:10.337
I'm your host Connie Morris, and we are still continuing our Faith on the Go
00:00:10.337 --> 00:00:14.657
series of The Curse of Familiarity.
00:00:14.917 --> 00:00:22.837
And today's episode is titled, The Danger of Ignoring Conviction Until Heaven Goes Silent.
00:00:23.497 --> 00:00:27.777
I'm your host Connie Morris, and where we keep it real, raw,
00:00:27.957 --> 00:00:35.037
and rooted in the Word, This is going to be a little deep, so buckle up and let's get going here.
00:00:35.537 --> 00:00:41.497
Have you ever gone through a dry season and wondered, where is God?
00:00:42.137 --> 00:00:47.197
If your prayers felt like they're just hitting the ceiling and just falling
00:00:47.197 --> 00:00:53.577
back on you, or if you ever stopped hearing His voice, the voice of the Holy Spirit.
00:00:54.877 --> 00:00:57.577
But never stopped going through the motion.
00:00:57.577 --> 00:00:59.857
This episode is for you.
00:01:00.497 --> 00:01:05.477
Today's message is called Familiar But Forgotten.
00:01:05.997 --> 00:01:14.297
We're looking at what happens when we ignore conviction for so long that heaven goes quiet.
00:01:15.057 --> 00:01:20.697
Because here's the truth. The scariest judgment is not a storm.
00:01:20.977 --> 00:01:31.677
It's silence. And sometimes silence is God's response to a heart that's grown numb.
00:01:32.117 --> 00:01:39.117
Let's talk about it. This is Faith on the Go, Real Talk, Real Growth, wherever you are.
00:01:39.417 --> 00:01:43.337
Let's go to 1 Samuel 3, verse 1.
00:01:43.977 --> 00:01:47.697
In those days, the word of the Lord was rare.
00:01:48.677 --> 00:01:54.017
There were not many visions. Let's talk about that.
00:01:54.397 --> 00:01:58.457
God has stopped speaking to Israel. Why? Because his people,
00:01:58.697 --> 00:02:06.137
including the priests, had grown too familiar with his presence,
00:02:06.937 --> 00:02:10.137
but carelessness with his instruction.
00:02:10.397 --> 00:02:15.617
They had grown too familiar with his presence, but careless with his instruction.
00:02:15.817 --> 00:02:20.897
So they were totally disrespecting God. And God says, if you're not going to
00:02:20.897 --> 00:02:23.797
follow my instructions, I'm just not going to talk.
00:02:24.957 --> 00:02:28.457
Eli was in the temple and the ark of God was present.
00:02:28.737 --> 00:02:34.397
The rituals still happened, but the voice of God had gone silent.
00:02:35.535 --> 00:02:43.995
And that's what happens when we keep showing up in sacred places but stop showing honor.
00:02:44.975 --> 00:02:52.515
What that reminds me of is maybe a dry church. If you're in a church where you're
00:02:52.515 --> 00:02:58.675
still coming in, you're worshiping, you're praying, but there hasn't been a move of God in a while.
00:02:59.455 --> 00:03:03.495
Something is going on that God is trying to get your attention.
00:03:04.275 --> 00:03:07.895
He's just not called. The way he's getting your attention, he's not talking.
00:03:08.335 --> 00:03:14.655
He's not showing no signs or wonders. No miracles are happening in the church. He's just silent.
00:03:15.095 --> 00:03:21.695
But yet, we see here that the rituals will still happen. They were still doing the offering.
00:03:21.975 --> 00:03:25.195
Here, they were still burning a sacrifice.
00:03:26.235 --> 00:03:32.255
But God has not spoken. You know, I was thinking about this before I started this podcast.
00:03:33.095 --> 00:03:35.875
And you know when you're a new
00:03:35.875 --> 00:03:38.755
christian and you know sometimes you don't
00:03:38.755 --> 00:03:41.555
recognize when god because you're not used
00:03:41.555 --> 00:03:45.955
to god talking to you know he he got you saved because you you felt the unction
00:03:45.955 --> 00:03:51.395
to go to church and to go to the altar and you and you feel that presence that
00:03:51.395 --> 00:03:59.075
pressure not even a pressure that that pull it's like a magnetic magnetic pull to get you saved,
00:03:59.915 --> 00:04:05.235
And then somehow, like we talked, I think the last episode, that we look back,
00:04:05.475 --> 00:04:10.595
we go back to what was familiar because we don't know this Jesus.
00:04:10.935 --> 00:04:13.755
You know, this Jesus that the pastor's preaching.
00:04:14.375 --> 00:04:18.835
You know, we're the rich young ruler talking about tithes and offerings.
00:04:19.075 --> 00:04:23.575
We barely got money to pay our rent. So we're like the rich young ruler.
00:04:23.715 --> 00:04:29.535
We're not ready to give it all up yet. And so we go back to comfortableness. right?
00:04:29.815 --> 00:04:33.595
And so we started out hearing God's voice really, really strong,
00:04:33.775 --> 00:04:37.575
but yet the voice of God has grown silent.
00:04:37.735 --> 00:04:40.215
So what do we do?
00:04:40.615 --> 00:04:43.815
What do we do with that? What do we do?
00:04:44.915 --> 00:04:48.535
Here we see Eli is at the temple. The ark of God was there.
00:04:48.715 --> 00:04:52.555
I mean, God's presence was there. So whenever there's God's presence,
00:04:53.015 --> 00:04:54.675
God likes to talk as we know.
00:04:55.255 --> 00:04:59.875
But the ritual will still happen. Things are still happen at the church. Church is open on time.
00:05:00.095 --> 00:05:03.815
Things are still moving. The choir is still going. The pastor is still preaching,
00:05:03.815 --> 00:05:06.375
but there is no move of God.
00:05:06.695 --> 00:05:12.915
And so this is what happens when we show up in a sacred place, but stop showing honor.
00:05:13.135 --> 00:05:18.695
Is that happening in your church, in your life, that you no longer hear the
00:05:18.695 --> 00:05:23.595
voice of God, that God has grown silent in your life?
00:05:24.822 --> 00:05:29.342
You carry a Bible, but ignore what it says. You can go to church,
00:05:29.362 --> 00:05:33.022
but never go deeper. Just kind of walk in the building.
00:05:33.422 --> 00:05:36.902
Kind of go through the ritual of it. I went to church on Sunday.
00:05:37.142 --> 00:05:41.222
You can be proud of that, but that's all you did. Went to church.
00:05:42.002 --> 00:05:45.522
God didn't touch you. Nobody touched you. No laying on the hands would happen.
00:05:45.962 --> 00:05:47.862
Everybody was just kind of doing their routine.
00:05:49.202 --> 00:05:55.302
You can still hear sermons, but never feel conviction. because you hear the
00:05:55.302 --> 00:05:58.262
sermon, it's really for you, but you're thinking like, who else is for?
00:05:58.422 --> 00:06:02.102
Because it's not for me. I'm going to tell my friends this was a good sermon.
00:06:02.202 --> 00:06:05.242
They should have heard this sermon, and God's really talking to you.
00:06:06.122 --> 00:06:12.122
And slowly the fire dies. The word grows rare, and you wake up in silence,
00:06:12.282 --> 00:06:16.342
wondering why you don't hear him anymore.
00:06:18.002 --> 00:06:21.222
That's a scary place to be. God is
00:06:21.222 --> 00:06:23.902
a God that likes to talk and if you
00:06:23.902 --> 00:06:27.122
honor him I think in my earlier episodes I
00:06:27.122 --> 00:06:30.002
talk about if you have a dream write it down if
00:06:30.002 --> 00:06:35.582
he speaks to you write it down if you honor what he has for you he will continue
00:06:35.582 --> 00:06:42.542
to speak to you when you dishonor him he will go silent why would he continue
00:06:42.542 --> 00:06:48.562
to talk to someone who's ignoring him would you in a natural you're talking And, you know,
00:06:48.882 --> 00:06:52.982
sometimes we talk to our kids, they act like they can't hear us. Come on now.
00:06:54.482 --> 00:06:58.942
You know, I'm not married, but when I was, our husband, like they can't hear you.
00:06:59.859 --> 00:07:03.359
You know, if you're not going to do it, I say, why should I talk?
00:07:03.719 --> 00:07:05.599
So what does that look like today?
00:07:06.239 --> 00:07:09.579
You stop repenting because you stop feeling conviction.
00:07:10.219 --> 00:07:14.719
You know, you went back. You did a lots wife move.
00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:19.159
You look back, but not only did you look back, you stayed back.
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:24.059
And so you're no longer following Jesus. You're following your past.
00:07:24.279 --> 00:07:31.039
You had an awesome conversion experience where you gave your life to Jesus You ran up to the altar.
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:35.379
You knew he called you. You laid on the floor. You cried, and you had a wonderful
00:07:35.379 --> 00:07:37.739
experience, but that's it.
00:07:38.419 --> 00:07:44.739
That's it. You heard his voice to get saved, but you didn't keep hearing his voice to stay saved.
00:07:45.339 --> 00:07:49.739
You still serve, but your spirit feels disconnected.
00:07:49.999 --> 00:07:54.799
Sometimes we can serve in the church, but we're really not connected.
00:07:54.799 --> 00:07:59.339
We're doing it out of duty, not out of honor and respect for Him.
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:07.439
So we're serving in the church, and yet we're just, you know, we know those people.
00:08:07.579 --> 00:08:12.419
They come to church, they're serving, but yet they always got something to say,
00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:15.079
their idea of how things should be ran.
00:08:15.479 --> 00:08:20.719
If they needed your idea, they would have asked you. And, you know,
00:08:21.159 --> 00:08:24.479
I know I'm convicted because I was always, and then I learned,
00:08:24.599 --> 00:08:26.279
like, they wanted my opinion.
00:08:26.479 --> 00:08:28.459
They would have asked me. They would have called me at home and said,
00:08:28.779 --> 00:08:30.879
Connie, will you think about this? But they didn't.
00:08:30.959 --> 00:08:37.439
So I learned when God told me to just be quiet, just do what you're supposed to do.
00:08:38.259 --> 00:08:42.899
Whether it doesn't look like it works, if somebody thought it might be a good
00:08:42.899 --> 00:08:49.399
idea, just do it. You know, so number one, you serve and your spirit doesn't
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:51.139
feel connected. You're just showing up.
00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:55.779
You got the blazer on, whatever your attire is for usher, greeter,
00:08:55.959 --> 00:08:58.219
hospitality, whatever. You just show up.
00:08:58.968 --> 00:09:06.028
And you are not connected to anything. You're just doing your ritual.
00:09:07.008 --> 00:09:10.748
You haven't heard the voice of the Lord in a long time because you've already
00:09:10.748 --> 00:09:13.688
checked you on some things and you haven't even changed that.
00:09:13.828 --> 00:09:18.908
This is not going to be a negative podcast. This is going to be kind of just a checklist.
00:09:19.268 --> 00:09:24.868
We always enter on a positive note with prayer and allow people to get their stuff together.
00:09:25.288 --> 00:09:28.308
You get busy doing ministry, but you lose intimacy.
00:09:28.968 --> 00:09:33.708
It's so easy to get busy doing ministry. When I was on the ministerial staff,
00:09:34.108 --> 00:09:39.948
it's a lot of ministerial stuff to do before church, after church, during the week.
00:09:40.128 --> 00:09:44.548
I mean, you know, when you have a small staff and you have a large congregation,
00:09:44.548 --> 00:09:47.128
it's always something to do.
00:09:47.528 --> 00:09:52.268
And so if you don't put your prayer first and then last when there's no one
00:09:52.268 --> 00:09:57.168
around, like first and then last, you can get lost in the busyness of church.
00:09:57.788 --> 00:10:00.808
You think you're doing right, but you haven't heard God's voice.
00:10:01.068 --> 00:10:06.768
It ain't fresh. I've been there. You pretty much burn out. You wish that everybody would go home.
00:10:07.928 --> 00:10:12.908
You're like, get home, go home. Because you're at church from about 6 in the
00:10:12.908 --> 00:10:16.528
morning to like 4 because of the altar line.
00:10:16.728 --> 00:10:22.228
People want to talk to the pastor, and the pastors would talk all day to them.
00:10:22.388 --> 00:10:25.328
That's like a mini counseling session for some.
00:10:25.968 --> 00:10:29.988
You know, I'm just saying it's just the truth, right?
00:10:30.448 --> 00:10:36.468
They don't come to prayer, but they will stay after service and talk about their problems.
00:10:36.688 --> 00:10:41.168
But that's what sheep, the sheep will do. And the pastor is a shepherd and he
00:10:41.168 --> 00:10:44.188
will take care of his sheep no matter when they're in need.
00:10:44.588 --> 00:10:50.028
You say, God knows my heart. He never, but nevertheless, I'm examining it.
00:10:50.268 --> 00:10:52.208
These are some things that are so serious.
00:10:52.488 --> 00:10:58.088
So let's keep it plain. In 2025, you stop repenting because you stop feeling convicted.
00:10:58.428 --> 00:11:01.228
You still serve, but your spirit feels disconnected.
00:11:01.628 --> 00:11:04.648
You get busy doing ministry, but lose intimacy.
00:11:05.228 --> 00:11:09.768
You say, God knows my heart, but you never let him examine it.
00:11:10.168 --> 00:11:13.308
Silence doesn't always mean God is gone.
00:11:13.688 --> 00:11:18.868
Sometimes he means he's waiting for you to want him back.
00:11:20.168 --> 00:11:24.028
How powerful is that, that God is still in the room.
00:11:24.528 --> 00:11:30.128
He's just not talking. He's watching you, seeing when you're going to pay attention to him.
00:11:30.468 --> 00:11:36.728
You ever do that with your kids? You know, you're hiding in plain sight and
00:11:36.728 --> 00:11:41.788
they're looking for you and then they go, mom, you know, that's what God does.
00:11:41.888 --> 00:11:44.548
God said, do you want me for real?
00:11:45.028 --> 00:11:50.528
I'm just going to sit here and watch you. Are you doing this for me or are you doing it for show?
00:11:51.461 --> 00:11:56.181
So how can we reignite this familiarity?
00:11:56.741 --> 00:12:03.061
How can we reignite what familiarity killed? How can we really get our hearts
00:12:03.061 --> 00:12:04.721
straight, get our hearts right?
00:12:05.141 --> 00:12:08.561
Number one, you want to return to reverence.
00:12:08.781 --> 00:12:13.401
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, Proverbs 9.10.
00:12:13.781 --> 00:12:18.361
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
00:12:19.041 --> 00:12:27.061
Ask God to restore holy fear, not fear of punishment, but awe of his presence.
00:12:27.241 --> 00:12:33.001
So ask him to return that awe back to that, like that awe back,
00:12:33.121 --> 00:12:37.361
like the first love, you know, back into that relationship.
00:12:37.481 --> 00:12:40.661
And he will, just a request. Remember, he's in the room.
00:12:40.961 --> 00:12:44.001
He's waiting for you to respond. He's watching you.
00:12:44.501 --> 00:12:49.161
Say, Lord, I want that awe back. I'll let it go cold. I remember I had that
00:12:49.161 --> 00:12:55.061
conversation with God once, and I lay in the bed where I stand up in prayer.
00:12:55.181 --> 00:12:56.721
I said, Lord, I haven't heard from you in a while.
00:12:56.941 --> 00:12:58.981
You know, I know you're here.
00:12:59.681 --> 00:13:03.821
And then he starts talking because he wants to know, do you want him?
00:13:04.892 --> 00:13:09.612
Because he can just start talking and you start listening. I want to know if
00:13:09.612 --> 00:13:10.792
you're here. I know you're here.
00:13:11.172 --> 00:13:13.892
Number two, respond quickly to conviction.
00:13:14.532 --> 00:13:19.172
Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts. Hebrews 3.15,
00:13:19.712 --> 00:13:22.972
delayed obedience, deaden your sensitivity.
00:13:23.612 --> 00:13:30.052
And sometimes, not sometimes, all the times, when you're praying with God in
00:13:30.052 --> 00:13:35.372
his holy presence, in his reverence all, Remember, he knows your heart.
00:13:36.132 --> 00:13:41.612
And I was having just some mediocre challenges with this lady at church.
00:13:41.612 --> 00:13:46.632
We serve on the same team, and we're just bumping heads, right?
00:13:46.752 --> 00:13:50.852
You know, we're both strong-willed women, but we're bumping heads,
00:13:51.012 --> 00:13:53.792
and sometimes a little too much.
00:13:54.012 --> 00:13:59.152
And so the Lord just poked my heart. He says, kind of want you to,
00:13:59.472 --> 00:14:01.252
first of all, stop bumping heads.
00:14:02.572 --> 00:14:08.312
And kind of repent and ask for forgiveness and send her a text and get this
00:14:08.312 --> 00:14:10.692
thing straight because this has gone on long enough.
00:14:11.012 --> 00:14:14.232
And it's in the middle of prayer. Before we can get a hello,
00:14:14.352 --> 00:14:17.332
hallelujah to Jesus, he's checking me about this.
00:14:17.632 --> 00:14:22.332
You know, you wake up, you're ready to pray, and he's talking to you about some
00:14:22.332 --> 00:14:24.492
stuff that's interfering with this relationship.
00:14:25.252 --> 00:14:29.972
And I did it. I sent a text. I said, I don't remember what I said.
00:14:29.972 --> 00:14:32.372
And I waited for a response.
00:14:32.812 --> 00:14:36.272
The lady didn't respond, but I did my part because the Bible says,
00:14:36.452 --> 00:14:38.972
be at peace with everyone if it's up to you.
00:14:39.112 --> 00:14:44.392
So if it was up to me, I got that off my chest. Remember, sometimes you gotta be obedient.
00:14:44.612 --> 00:14:48.372
So I didn't do a delayed obedience. I wait till I get out of prayer.
00:14:48.512 --> 00:14:53.592
No, I do it right away because the conviction was hard and strong and I needed
00:14:53.592 --> 00:14:57.812
to do that because it was interfering with my relationship with God.
00:14:58.232 --> 00:15:00.932
You know, so sometimes we think we're doing the right thing.
00:15:02.255 --> 00:15:04.775
And God's like, no. Like, who gives
00:15:04.775 --> 00:15:09.355
me the right to be the supervisor over someone? I don't get to do that.
00:15:09.535 --> 00:15:12.195
I don't get to do that.
00:15:12.615 --> 00:15:15.355
You know, have, no, I don't get to do that.
00:15:15.895 --> 00:15:18.675
He says, clear it up, clear it up.
00:15:18.835 --> 00:15:24.875
Whether you were right or whether they were the wrong one, it wasn't always me.
00:15:25.095 --> 00:15:26.255
Sometimes it was her. But at
00:15:26.255 --> 00:15:30.575
the end of the day, if God says you get it right, then you get it right.
00:15:31.215 --> 00:15:36.135
Don't be bitchy-washy with that. So you want to respond quickly with conviction.
00:15:36.495 --> 00:15:39.535
Remember, you want to always hear the voice of the Lord.
00:15:40.275 --> 00:15:43.275
Why is that important in these dangerous times?
00:15:43.835 --> 00:15:47.555
He's the one that keeps us safe, right? He's the one that's,
00:15:48.155 --> 00:15:49.475
remember, he's in the room.
00:15:49.695 --> 00:15:53.795
You don't want him not to let you crash and burn while he's in the room. Am I right?
00:15:54.515 --> 00:16:00.415
Remove the routine from your worship. Hello, stop treating devotion like a checklist.
00:16:01.075 --> 00:16:05.975
You know, these people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
00:16:06.375 --> 00:16:13.475
So if you're finding that your prayer is a routine, sometimes it is a routine
00:16:13.475 --> 00:16:14.895
because you get it at the same time.
00:16:14.955 --> 00:16:18.955
But if you're doing the same one, two, three things and not allowing the Holy
00:16:18.955 --> 00:16:23.555
Ghost to direct this relationship, remember, sometimes he's going to talk first.
00:16:23.735 --> 00:16:27.495
Sometimes you're going to talk first. Sometimes you're just sitting there quiet listening.
00:16:27.775 --> 00:16:32.495
But if you have a routine that you need to keep because it's your routine.
00:16:33.595 --> 00:16:37.395
Then God's going to sit there and just listen and let you do your show.
00:16:37.775 --> 00:16:40.635
Remember, he's in the room, and he's going to let you do your show,
00:16:40.655 --> 00:16:43.755
and you're going to go off, and you haven't heard a word from the Lord.
00:16:43.775 --> 00:16:47.875
And you might need a word from the Lord for that particular day.
00:16:48.608 --> 00:16:53.948
Am I right in the last one? Ask for the fire again.
00:16:54.768 --> 00:17:01.048
Will you revive us again that your people may rejoice in you? Psalms 85, 6.
00:17:02.048 --> 00:17:07.008
He's still speaking. He just needs ears to hear.
00:17:07.508 --> 00:17:12.088
Is that something he needs you to pay attention? He needs you to hear him when
00:17:12.088 --> 00:17:15.208
he speaks. Isn't that just like he's a father?
00:17:16.248 --> 00:17:19.408
That he needs you to listen. He don't need you to just, uh-huh,
00:17:19.568 --> 00:17:23.288
got it. Don't you hate when someone do that? What did I say?
00:17:23.888 --> 00:17:28.608
I'm just trying to get you finished so I can get on with my business.
00:17:29.188 --> 00:17:33.788
So what are the four ways to reignite what familiarity kills?
00:17:34.008 --> 00:17:36.048
Number one, return to reverence.
00:17:36.368 --> 00:17:39.608
Proverbs 9, 10, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
00:17:40.168 --> 00:17:43.788
Respond quickly to conviction. Today, if you hear his voice,
00:17:44.008 --> 00:17:47.028
do not harden your hearts. Hebrews 3, 15.
00:17:47.868 --> 00:17:50.028
Delayed obedience, dead, and just sensitivity.
00:17:50.888 --> 00:17:54.708
And then, number three, remove the routine from your worship.
00:17:55.188 --> 00:17:57.208
Stop treating devotion like a checklist.
00:17:57.788 --> 00:18:03.848
These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, Matthew 15a.
00:18:04.068 --> 00:18:09.508
The scripture starts out like these people, like God knows each of us by name.
00:18:09.668 --> 00:18:12.708
I mean, he knows the hairs on our head.
00:18:13.168 --> 00:18:17.788
But when he says these people, he's kind of dissing you. He said,
00:18:17.888 --> 00:18:19.148
these people don't know me.
00:18:19.948 --> 00:18:25.408
They're not with me. I'm in the room. They're ignoring me, right? I'm in the room.
00:18:25.988 --> 00:18:29.568
And then fire. Ask God for the fire again.
00:18:30.428 --> 00:18:34.688
Will you not revive us again that your people may rejoice in you?
00:18:34.848 --> 00:18:38.348
Psalms 85.6. He's still speaking. He just needs your ears.
00:18:39.380 --> 00:18:42.540
To hear. He needs your attention.
00:18:43.240 --> 00:18:49.900
Eli was in the temple, but he couldn't hear God anymore because he got too comfortable
00:18:49.900 --> 00:18:52.760
around what used to move him.
00:18:53.500 --> 00:18:58.260
Ooh, that just touched my heart. He got too comfortable with what used to move him.
00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:04.720
Don't let that be you. Don't let routine rob you of revelation.
00:19:05.020 --> 00:19:09.720
Don't let his silence be the consequences of your disinterest.
00:19:11.300 --> 00:19:17.140
In this year, 2025, get your hunger back, get your ears back,
00:19:17.240 --> 00:19:20.460
and get your fire back. Let's pray.
00:19:21.380 --> 00:19:24.620
Lord, forgive me for growing numb to your voice.
00:19:24.860 --> 00:19:29.520
Forgive me for going through the motions without truly seeking you.
00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:33.640
Reignite my reverence. Restore my hunger.
00:19:34.480 --> 00:19:40.040
Speak again, and I will listen. In Jesus' name, amen.
00:19:40.800 --> 00:19:43.760
This has been Faith on the Go with your host, Connie Morris.
00:19:44.080 --> 00:19:48.440
Don't settle for silence when you were created for intimacy.
00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:52.220
Don't let familiarity keep you out of fellowship.
