His Sheep (Joyfully) Hear His Voice!

            Have you had your JOY JUICE today?  Actively pursue the JOY of the Lord by listening to what He has to say to you!

            Does God still speak today like He did in Bible times?  In the Old and New Testament days we read that He spoke in a variety of ways:

• Through direct revelation
• Through dreams
• Through His written Words
• Through His prophets
• Through angels
• Through the Holy Spirit.

But what about today?  Does God still speak?  Charles Stanley reassures us “that God is still in the communication business! He employs four principal methods of revealing Himself to the contemporary believer.”  He speaks

1.      Through the pages of His Word….which we must read, study and meditate on in order to hear Him speak.

2.      Through the Holy Spirit.  Do you recognize God’s voice as He speaks to your spirit through His Holy Spirit?

3.      Through other people…Remember that God puts others into your life for a reason.  Those who love you and consistently pray for you---are often His instruments through which He speaks.

4.      And God speaks today through circumstances.  It could be a success or a failure; a tragedy or an unexpected blessing.  God is not limited…He can use any circumstance to speak to us. But we must be listening!

 As John 10:27 reminds us: “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” May we listen with JOY and hear His voice!
