The Lord Speaks to Us
The Lord Speaks to Us
Video: http://www.getthegist.net/
1 Kings 19:11-13…….The LORD said, "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
Make no mistake about it, the Lord speaks to us. He speaks to us all the time not only on rare occasions and He wants us to hear what He has to say. The problem is, we do not always know how to hear Him.
The Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth, is so creative that He is not limited in the methods He uses to communicate. As in the case of Elijah above, a prophet who regularly heard from God. The Lord could have easily spoken through the phenomenal display of dramatic events that preceded what He had to say but, instead, He chose to speak in a gentle whisper.
Often we have a mindset about how God will speak to us and because of that we limit God to our mindset and we miss what He has to say. It is, therefore, important that we remove our mindset and prepare ourselves to hear God by any means that He chooses to use.
If you are born again and baptised in the Holy Spirit you can hear the Lord speak (although He may have begun to speak to you even before that). As Christian believers how can we pray effectively, or minister in any way, if we do not hear from God?
God loves you and He wants you to know it. He will speak into your heart and into your spirit through the Holy Spirit. It is not common to hear God speak in an audible voice.
Prayer is dialogue with God. The bible says that we should pray continually. This means that we should be in constant dialogue with God. In a dialogue one person speaks and the other listens, then the listener responds back to the speaker and so on. This is how the Lord wants us to live out our Christian lives; being led by the Holy Spirit in a continual dialogue with God.
If you just pause for a moment and listen; be still and listen. You will hear God speaking to you in the breath (Hebrew = ruach) of His Spirit. Can you hear that gentle whisper? What is He saying to you? Let the dialogue, a conversation between two lovers, begin…..
Lord Jesus, thank you for speaking to us, please help us to hear you. Amen

Important Podcast Message
Podcasts
We at TheWayCM know what it means to be bombarded by emails and we do not want to be one of those who are guilty of doing this.
Our new venture into the exciting world of podcasting has meant a proliferation of the amount of podcasts that we produce both in English and in foreign languages.
To avoid sending you notification of every new episode, it will be better for you, and it will reduce the amount of emails you receive, if you freely subscribe only to the podcast updates that you want to receive. If you prefer, you can ‘become a friend’ or ‘follower’ that is the same as subscribing. There is no catch here, no hidden agenda. Subscribe (free) to what you want and that is what you will receive.
Your podcast options are at this link: http://www.thewaycm.com/community.html
You can subscribe directly to our podcast or, if you prefer, you can subscribe through itunes – again, either way, it’s free.
As we add more podcast options you will receive an email about this, but from now on, you will only receive updates from the podcasts you subscribe to.
Thank you and….. have a fantastic day,
Peter (for TheWayCM)
