Knowing God’s voice
We all know that God tells us that obedience to His word is more important than sacrifice, or, even the word itself; The word of God says, “Not everyone who hears the word will enter the Kingdom of God, but the ones who DO it.
21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven
1 Corinthians 14:10 ) “There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me.”
God’s language is spiritual, so we must hear it with our spirits.
When Abraham heard God tell him to leave his family and land, He didn’t even tell him where he would be going.(Gen 12) Abraham didn’t have anyone to council him about this; It was crucial that he know that it was God speaking and not just his own thoughts.
Relationship is the key:!
Have you ever had the phone to ring and when you picked up the receiver it was someone from miles and miles away, but you knew immediately who it was? You had such a relationship with the person that no one could have fooled you.
That’s how our relationship must be with God.
Abraham had this kind of relationship with God. He knew immediately that it was God; and also; that he could “trust” the voice enough to obey it without question.
This kind of relationship doesn’t come in a day, it is developed over a long time of communication.
We develope this relationship by spending time every day with Him.
