When God Speaks
I've heard so many people talk about how God doesn't yell, and to a certain extent I agree. This is not to say that God doesn't get his point across very securely when he speaks. In my opinion, God doesn't yell because a whisper is enough to stop storms, rebuke demons, and wake up the dead. When God speaks it is not easy to overlook. For so many of us Christians we imagine God encrypting messages and leaving clues that have us struggling to decipher his speech, but Christ said that the mystery is revealed to God's people. Revealed is another word for UNCOVERED! God isn't trying to hide his truth from us, and God isn't trying to be sneaky and make us struggle to understand him. He has said over and over again that there is nothing that he will hide from us.
Romans 16:25-27 says,
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever.
In John 15:15 Jesus says, "Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you."
1 Corinthians 2:7-12 says
But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto glory: which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it , they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath rehevealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
For the last two days I have woken up suddenly at 5 AM. I haven't gone to sleep early and I haven't had any disturbances to interrupt my sleep. there have been times when my mother would want to talk with me alone so she would make some hot chocolate or something else delicious and then gently come into my room and wake me. I have felt just like that these last two mornings. It is God getting me up to talk to me just like my mother has on occasion. I am so glad that God doesn't always wait around for me to find him, but seeks me out to reveal things to me. God speaks with the intention of being heard by us. God speaks in a way that we can understand him, but in order to make since of what God says we must first believe who he is and what his love for us has done. Jesus went to Hell and back for us so that we could be children of God if we choose to be. God is my father just as much as my mother is my mother, and God loves me so much that he wants my undivided attention to speak with me. I love it! I'm sleepy, but I love it. Children of God seek for knowledge, understanding, and wisdom with confidence. God is not keeping them from us. He desires for us to know him.
Mathew 7:7-8 says, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: for everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
