My dear brothers and sisters, of FaithLine: “God came to Abimelech in a dream, and SAID TO HIM, Behold, you are about to die, for the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man’s wife…Abimelech said; Did Abraham not say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. And GOD SAID TO HIM in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the sincerity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me. Therefore I did not allow you to touch her.” (Gen. 20:3, 5-6) Abimelech (the king of Gerar) took sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants, and gave them to Abraham.
One of the most awesome experiences we can have, as a child of God, is to hear the voice of our Living God. Unfortunately the devil has stolen that God given ability, to hinder our overall effectiveness for God. According to Jesus the devil’s job is to, “steal and kill and destroy…” (John 10:10). Hearing from the Lord can eliminate a lot of confusion so, how can we restore this blessing that has been stolen from us? First, we must believe it is God’s will for us to hear Him. More than 1,900 times in Scripture the authors said their message was from God. Secondly, according to Jesus, “…all things you ask in prayer, believing, YOU WILL RECEIVE.” (Matt. 21:22) We must remember this very important truth, what we hear from God will never disagree with the written word…because, “All Scripture,” what is written in the Bible, “is God-breathed.” which points to God as the source of these words. GOD “BREATHED” THEM OUT. The Lord had to speak directions to Ananias So he could pray for Paul (Acts 9:11) and speak to Cornelius so he could find Peter. (Acts 10:9) Just a few of many examples…
RELATIONSHIPS ARE FORTIFIED BY COMMUNICATION SO, LISTEN…
FaithLine, the bible says: “…all things you ask in prayer, believing, YOU WILL RECEIVE.”
