His Channels I

Prov.3:⁶ [MSG] “Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, and everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track.”

When you turn on the radio in your car and tune it, you come across many different stations and many different voices enroute to your desired station. These voices that you hear were not recorded in the radio. Those voices are around you already; your radio just needed to tune in and receive. I am here to tell you that God’s voice is here right now. God is in this place and if you will tune in, you will hear God.

God has different channels through which he speaks to us. You will discover that some channels are easier to get and some other channels need to be fine-tuned. God is not restricted to only one channel; He speaks to us through several different channels. Over the next few days we will look at seven channels, the list not exhaustive but these seven channels we will highlight are totally indispensable. Are you ready?

Channel #1: God speaks through The Bible. 2 Tim.3:¹⁶ [CEV] “Everything in the Scriptures is God’s Word. All of it is useful for teaching and helping people and for correcting them and showing them how to live” [with emphasis]. God speaks to us through His Word. Ps.119:¹⁰⁵ [TEV] “Your Word is a lamp to guide me and a light for my path.” This is why your quiet time is indispensable. Take your Fresh Fire devotional, your Bible and journal and sit with God, just create time to listen to His heart. When you begin to tune-in to God’s voice, the first channel you come across is the Bible. It was while I was reading Luke 3:1-2 that the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to depths in His Word that I had never seen before and used it to change my life. The Word of God will do that to you. God wants to talk to you. He is waiting for you; so you need to tune-in to your Bible.

Channel #2: God speaks to us through Ministry Gifts. Eph.4:11-12 [CEV] “Christ gifted some of us to be apostles, prophets, missionaries, pastors, and teachers, so that His people would learn to serve and His body would grow strong.” God speaks through ministry gifts. Sometimes you hear God’s Word and you are wondering if God could be speaking to you? Yes, God is talking to you.

Prayer [song]: Lord I live by Your Word. 
Lord I live by ev’ry word from Your mouth. 
And I’m like a tree by a stream, I’m bearing fruit, my leaf is green, All that I do is prospering, O Lord, I live by Your Word. Amen!
