When God Speaks, I
2 Cor.9:8 “And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.”

His Voice
1 Sam.3:7-8 “Samuel did not yet know the Lord because he had never had a message from the Lord before. So the Lord called a third time, and once more Samuel got up and went to Eli. “Here I am. Did you call me?” Then Eli realized it was the Lord who was calling the boy.”
