We are studying about the ability to hear God's voice. When I was not yet saved, I never understood people who said, "God spoke to me and told me ..." I wondered why would they say such things. At the time I didn't really understand anything about God. I wasn't sure that He existed. When the Lord called me to enter His plan of salvation, by asking Jesus to come into my life, and be the head of my life, I found out that God was real, and that He speaks, listens and answers prayer.
During a time of crisis in my life, I stumbled on a book titled "Talking with God." I still was uncertain about believing that God had a audible voice and that He could talk and listen. I read part of the book, and began talking to Him. He began to answer me. This was amazing. I kept on talking and found that I had a friend who cares, understands me, and loves me. That was over 25 years ago.
Today, I am confident that God hears me, and speaks to me when I need to hear His voice. My relationship with Him has matured over the years, and I rest in His faithfulness toward me. We are studying about the man of valor, Gideon whose story begins in chapter 6 of the Book of Judges. He was a man who established victory in his life and the life of God's people, because he learned to hear God's voice.
Gideon challenged God to prove to him that it was really Him talking. God agreed to the test and established that His voice was who Gideon was hearing. Then Gideon was confident in obtaining and following instructions. He had the victory in defeating the enemy. I want to have victory in my life and ministry. I want to do things God's way because He knows what is best. Therefore, I must seek His face, and listen for His voice.
I will be praying that more people who love the Lord will listen for His voice. There are so many instructions that He wants to give His children, but they refuse to hear Him. Let us not be weary in doing well. Let us determine in our hearts and minds to develop a listening ear, and a willing heart to obey our heavenly Father.
