Episode 414 - Show Notes
- There are some who do not believe God speaks today, but I believe God speaks to his children. The struggle is often recognizing God’s voice. How do we know when God speaks to us. After all, the impression we receive could be our own thoughts, or it could even be the devil.
- Our God is not distant. He is close and personal. He wants to have a personal relationship with Him. You can know Him. He wants you to hear and recognize his voice. Isn’t this amazing?
- Dallas Willard - “If God doesn’t speak today then the greatest disservice we could do to people is to tell them they can have a personal relationship with God.”
- We live in a very loud culture. The sound of our day is filled with the voices of media, news, politics, music, movies, sports, social media, friends, teachers, spouses, and much more. We hear it all, but have we heard the voice of God? God doesn’t have a speaking problem. We have a listening problem. He is speaking and it’s critical to hear what He is saying.
- Here is a powerful question: Is God’s voice the loudest voice in your life?
- James 4:8 says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.” The more we pursue a closer relationship with God, the more readily we will hear his voice.
John 10:3-5 - “The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.”
