God Speaks
God speaks
to every one of us; we just have to learn how to listen. I am still learning
because I have realized that He speaks to us in various ways. Every individual
just has to Identify the one way in which God communicates with him that he understands
the most, and develop his hearing ability in that direction.
It may not
be very easy to do, but I assure you it is not impossible. We need to pray to
Him for the ability to hear Him and understand Him better, and also to understand
the things He says to us, as they are usually directions on how to live our
lives; what directions to take, what to do in every situation that we face. He
is a loving father to all of us, and He desires only the best for all of us. It
does not matter whether we are the worst sinners or not, for we are all sinners
and have fallen short of His Glory. (Romans 3:23)
Just as God
speaks to all of us, He also hears us all when we pray to Him – whether He
answers our prayers or not is another topic all together. We can however,
develop ourselves spiritually so that God will listen and answer us when we
come to Him in prayer. Development, as we know, does not happen overnight, it
takes time, consistency, devotion, meditation on His word and perseverance. God
is ever willing to forgive us all of our sins and welcome us into His fold,
into His bosom, but it is left for us to seek Him and desire to be in His
presence, for He has given every one free-will
to choose our paths – whether we want to walk the broad road that leads to
the devil or the narrow path that leads to God and His heavenly kingdom.
[Matthew
7:13-14 New International Version (NIV) 13 “Enter
through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads
to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But
small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find
it.]
We will do
well to choose wisely; for what shall it profit a man if he gains the whole
world and loses his soul. (Mark 8:36)
On Free-Will
Proverbs 16:9
The heart of man
plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.
Joshua 24:15
And if it is evil
in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether
the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the
Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the
Lord.”
John
7:17
If anyone's will
is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I
am speaking on my own authority.
Revelation
3:20
Behold, I stand
at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come
in to him and eat with him, and he with me.
1
Corinthians 10:13
No temptation has
overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let
you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also
provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.
John
1:12-13
But to all who
did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children
of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the
will of man, but of God.
Deuteronomy
30:19-20
I call heaven and
earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death,
blessing and curse. Therefore choose life, that you and your offspring may
live, loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for
he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the
Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.”
Genesis
2:16-17
And the Lord God
commanded the man, saying, “You may surely eat of every tree of the garden, but
of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day
that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
Galatians
5:16-17
But I say, walk
by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the
desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are
against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing
the things you want to do.
Mark
8:34
And calling the
crowd to him with his disciples, he said to them, “If anyone would come after
me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.
Deuteronomy
11:26-28
“See, I am
setting before you today a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the
commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and the curse, if
you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the
way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not
known.
James
4:7
Submit yourselves
therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Isaiah
55:6-7
“Seek the Lord
while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; let the wicked forsake
his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that
he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
Romans
6:23
For the wages of
sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our
Lord.
Romans
14:12
So then each of
us will give an account of himself to God.
Romans
10:13
For “everyone who
calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Romans
6:16
Do you not know
that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of
the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which
leads to righteousness?
