God's Voice Lesson #1

How to hear God’s word for you? Lesson #1 He is Lord

It was a miserable state. The strong enemy army is surrounding the city walls. Fear and trembling were in every heart. Hunger has already struck the city. There was no more bread. The army was tired and hopeless. Our religion, heritage and history are about to be wiped out. The enemy plans were to burn everything down as soon as they open the city. The king was living a nightmare and didn’t not know what to do. In despair he invited the prophet Jeremiah in secret. He has only one urgent question. “Is there any word from the Lord?” Sounded like when Saul inquired of the Lord and the Lord did not answer him. He was echoing Saul saying “I am deeply distressed; for there is a war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore”

There are times in live when we are ready to do anything hoping that God would reveal to us what to do. God’s word is so valuable and it is even more valuable when it is so rare.

 In our story Jeremiah said there is a word from God. But not what you want to hear. In our life sometimes God’s word will not be what we want. Jeremiah here told the king the city will be defeated, In the bible there are other examples. God told Adam to get out of the garden, told Ibrahim that his children will be enslaved. Even Jesus told us in the world you will have trouble, that we will be persecuted. 

To hear God’s voice, it is important to come to God in obedience, come ready for whatever he might want to say. Come ready to do whatever he asks. He is the Lord and this is a key to be able to hear his voice. And only then God may complete his sentences that the nation of Israel will be restored. Adam’s children will have salvation in Christ. The nation of Israel will come out of Egypt a mighty nation. And cheer for Jesus has overcome the world and there is a blessing to those who are persecuted for the name of Jesus.

God is faithful

Mosses, David, Abraham and Joseph When we think of them we think of the salvation leader of Israel, the mighty king of praise, the blessed father of faith, the man who defeated sin and hanger. These are the ideas that come to our minds when we remember them, but in their history there is something different, something common between those heroes and period of time they all lived with faith above all doubts. And here it is; they all kept their faith in God while they were waiting for his promises to come true. It took God 40 years to reveal to Mosses how he will use him to deliver his nation, while David lived rejected and escaping from the king even though he was the anointed real king, Abraham was promised a blessings and a son who shall inherit this blessing while all wisdom and previous experiences were saying this was impossible and unreasonable. Finally Joseph was given a vision from God and for years he was treated as a guilty slave in jail. They all waited in the hard time, in t

This should be my life

Today I asked myself what is the most important thing in my life? It is a familiar question but finding the best answer is so important because this answer will determine your priorities, choices, goals and plans otherwise your life is just hanging around with no clear purpose or principles. The first idea that came to my mind is to be happy, but wait a minuet I recognize this voice, I usually hear it while I am hungry or tired. Yeah! it is the voice of the natural human living within me. Happiness can't be a reason for living otherwise I will be so self-centered and greedy. Happiness supposed to be a result of achieving a higher goal. But what is a good target? How about the challenge to work as hard as possible to achieve my targets lets say success, money, power or even competing with others to be a better person. No way, I still have the same problem, this also sounds even more selfish Since my first two guesses were self-centered, I started to look around me and realized I am

How to deal with healthcare burdens

  “The doctor has just told me I have pancreases cancer. I didn’t hear anything he said after that, would you please explain to me what does this mean again.” “Can you check for me again the diagnosis, I thought I have lung cancer but the papers mentioned something about kidney cancer and you said the drug is for kidney cancer, correct? I thought I have only one cancer.” A patient in his early forties sounded brilliant, full of energy and so friendly over the phone. He thought he had a cold but was told it is a late-stage cancer with a very low survival rate. A woman in her twenties said, “I take my transplant medications every day. I almost lost my kidney functions. I don’t want to lose this kidney because my previous three transplants have already failed. “ The last clinical note read, “He was upset he needs a bone marrow transplant. He knows his chances are not high” I prepared my call, trying to be encouraging, and when I called, I was told he passed away. How do you dea
