Caution!
Ps.139:23-24 “Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life”
God speaks through Silence. Sometimes, God’s silence means He is waiting for you to choose but at other times, it could mean that God is upset. Sometimes, when God is upset He keeps quiet. If God is upset with you, I pray that you will make peace with Him today, in Jesus Name. But I pray that God will not be upset and keep quiet at you, in Jesus Name. Read the rest of this entry
His Channels V
1 Sam.28:6 [MSG] “Saul prayed to God, but God didn’t answer—neither by dream nor by sign nor by prophet.”
Channel #6: God speaks through Silence: When God is silent it can be really uncomfortable. I went through a season in my life that was as if God kept quiet. I almost went berserk. What I learned from that experience is that when God keeps quiet, many times God is telling you to choose. He is watching to see the quality of your decisions. He Read the rest of this entry
His Channels IV
Prov.20:30 [GN] “Sometimes it takes a painful experience to make us change our ways.”
Channel #5: God speaks to us through Pain. Sometimes, in order to get peoples attention and to get them to slow down and seek Him, God has to resort to letting them go through pain. I am not suggesting that all pain is from God, but sometimes for God to get our attention, He needs to whack us a little bit. If you miss the Word, you will not Read the rest of this entry
His Channels III
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis].
So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through.

His Channels II
Rom.12:6 (GW) “God in His kindness gave each of us different gifts. If your gift is speaking God’s Word, make sure what you say agrees with the faith.” [with emphasis]
God speaks through ministry gifts. Have you ever been in church and it is like the minister is talking to you? In fact, I have actually had cases where spouses are accusing each other of reporting to pastor. Meanwhile nobody told me anything. During one service I said, “how can you, husband and wife, be fighting over suya [spicy beef jerky]? Read the rest of this entry
Cooperate With God
Luke 8:15 [LB] “…They listen to God’s words and cling to them and steadily spread them to others who also soon believe.” [with emphasis]
Have you made up your mind to consistently hear His voice? If your answer is yes, then you must also settle in your heart that you will obey what He tells you to do. The reason a lot of people do not hear God, is because God knows they will do what they want to do regardless of what He says. Sometimes, folks come to me asking for direction or advice.

Positioning
Luke 8:15 [GN] “The seeds that fell in good soil stand for those who hear the message and retain it in a good and obedient heart, and they persist until they bear fruit.” [with emphasis]
For us to tune-in to God, we must cultivate open minds, create time to listen, and eliminate distraction.
#4. The fourth thing we must do to tune-in to God’s voice is, co-operate with what God says. Please get this because it is so powerful. God will always speak to people who Read the rest of this entry
Through Him
Heb.1:1-2 “Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets. And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son…”
In times past, in the Old Testament, God spoke to our fathers and to the people He wanted to reach through the prophets. Meaning, whoever wanted to hear from God had to have a relationship with a prophet. But today, God is saying if you want to hear from Him, you must have a relationship with His Son [Jesus Christ]. So primarily, to hear Read the rest of this entry
God Is Saying
“For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven” Ps.119:89 [KJV]
What God is saying is two fold; there is The Written and The Prophetic. The Word of God is settled in heaven. What God has said concerning your promotion is settled! What God has said concerning your marriage is settled! What God has said concerning your finances is settled! Search the scriptures to see what God is saying and has settled in His written Word about you.
Fact Not Truth
“…Prophesy to these bones. Tell them to listen to what the Eternal Lord says to them…” Eze.37:4 [VOICE].
The question you and I must answer is, what is God saying? Some people are so logical they can think God out of their lives. I am not saying we should not use our brains. We are intelligent people and we cannot do what we are doing if we are not intelligent by the grace of God. But when the rubber meets the road, what matters is not what your logic is saying, it is what is God saying. Do not use logic to eradicate God from your life. What is God saying? It is not even what “reality” is saying. I have heard folks repeatedly say, let us face reality. And I say no! We will face the Read the rest of this entry
