Do we (As American Christians) even know what the voice of the Lord is? According to some folks, God is saying lots of things that aren't adding up! Have you ever been around that 'super saint' that is always saying, "The Lord said this and the Lord said that...?" People are making the Lord contradict His own word.... How many time in the early church (book of Acts) do we find people saying, God said this and God said that? We do have a time or two where the Spirit spoke to people in the book of Acts, but we sure have a lot of it today and with little results. The early church don't talk about the Lord speaking all that much and they were turning the world upside down. Are we REALLY hearing the Spirit? Sure I believe God can speak...He can do anything He wants to do...but I don't think what most people are hearing in today's church is God at all. I have had the Lord to reveal a scripture passage to me or help me to see this or that. Maybe it's not wrong to say "The Lord shown me..." BUT I could probably count on both hands the times I have actually heard His voice. I have never heard it audibly. But the times I really knew God was speaking to me, it knocked me to my knees. It totally broke my spirit. It is so easy to put words in God's mouth and say that He said this or that when in fact maybe He didn't say it at all. The Spirit is very much able to speak at any given time, but IF it is really Him, LOOK OUT for some major changes in your life. Those that took God's word to heart, experienced great change! Are you ready? Do you really want to hear?
Thinking Again,
James
