Word Of God Speak – MercyMe

I am not sure how I could live my walk with Jesus if I could not hear Him.

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said – Job 38:1 ESV

In fact, I can be even more specific – how can I worship Him if I have never had Him speak into my life?

Maybe that is why some of us have turned worship into something else. We actually have never heard His voice so how do we come to a place to bring others into His presence when we have never arrived there ourselves. I remember two gentleman in particular, both long time youth pastors such as myself. One was so consumed by the fact that he had never heard the voice of God that one day in the midst of calling out to God he ran his car alongside a tracker trailer. Only thing was, he never knew he had until he arrived home and looked at the massive damage he had experienced. The other slammed his fist on the table and said emphatically and with incredible conviction that the days of God talking to people are over.

I am thankful that I learned at a young age to expect God to speak. After two years of not hearing Him speak, He spoke through His word. Then one day as I was ready to commit suicide, His voice came through loud and clear and has never ceased to be part of my life.

Praise the Lord!
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of the godly! – Psalm 149:1 ESV

I think I make it sound easier than it was, but my encouragement to those I disciple is that He does speak and they can count on Him wanting to speak into their lives.
