How Does God Speak (l)?

Published by Kirsty under listening to God, prophecy

God speaks in so many different ways.  Probably because we hear Him in so many different ways!  Part of my role in our Church is helping people learn how to hear and know the voice of God, and I love that when people open up and expect to hear Him they always do!

The wonderful thing about God is that He is the best communicator in the universe and He knows exactly how each of us hears Him best.

Think about trying to direct someone to a place they have never been before.  My husband likes to know the road numbers (I think that’s a man thing!), my Mum likes landmarks to guide her, while my Dad just needs to listen to the directions and he will memorise the ‘first left, third right’ etc.  I like to see a map and fix it in my mind before I set off… We all tend to have a best way of receiving communication.

She finally found the house of her dreams, had her offer accepted, and returned to England to pack her belongings. While packing her bathroom, she suddenly realised that she didn’t remember seeing a bathroom in her new house. So she wrote to the Swiss estate agent asking for the whereabouts of the WC. The Swiss agent - his English being none too good - passed the letter on to the local priest for translation. Being unfamiliar with English abbreviations, the only meaning he could think of for WC was Wesleyan Chapel.

The English lady received the following reply:

‘My Dear Madam,

I take great pleasure in informing you that the WC is situated nine miles from the house in the centre of a beautiful grove of pine trees surrounded by lovely grounds.

It is capable of holding 229 people, and is open on Sundays and Thursdays only. As there are a great number of people expected during the summer months, I suggest you come early, although there is usually only standing room. This is an unfortunate situation, especially if you are in the habit of going regularly. Continue Reading »
