GOD STILL SPEAKS

“For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.” (Job 33:14 KJV)
It is so easy to get lost in the midst of the noise all around and miss the voice of God. The world we are in today is filled with so many activities, and many believers are so engrossed that they miss the still small voice of the Holy Spirit. God always speaks ahead of your challenges. He does not want you to be caught unawares. But most times, His children are too busy to hear.
The world in which we live today is not designed to favour you. The devil will always come with his distractions. Never get to the point where God will speak once and twice and yet you won’t perceive.
When the days get darker and the tempest is tossing high, know that God still speaks in the midst of darkness. The book of Genesis 1:1-2 (KJV) says, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” The Spirit of God was still moving in the midst of chaos.
The devil will never tell you something good. So, anytime you hear something that will keep you away from God, know that it is the devil who is speaking. When there are challenges and there is possibly a temptation to do the wrong thing, know that it is the devil speaking. Therefore, it is important to be able to know that God will always draw you near, and will always speak words that will draw you near to Him, and not further away from Him. That is one of the ways to tell who is speaking.
