Hearing the Father Speak
John 10:27
My sheep listen to My voice; I know them, and they follow Me.
An Englishman tells a true story of his encounter with a Muslim
man while walking in the country. The Englishman wanted to share
the gospel with this man but knew little of Muslim beliefs.
The two men talked as they walked and agreed they would each share their beliefs with one another. The Muslim went first and dominated the
time of sharing. The Englishman asked the Holy Spirit how to share
his faith with the Muslim man. "Do you consider your god your
father who speaks?" asked the Englishman.
"Certainly not," replied the Muslim man.
"That is one of the big differences between your god and my
God. I consider my God as my Father who speaks to me personally."
"You cannot prove that," stated the Muslim man.
The Englishman again prayed to himself, "Lord, how do I prove
this to this man?"A few moments later the two men began walking
toward two young ladies on the other side of the road coming toward
them. As they approached, the Englishman spoke to the ladies and
made small conversation. He then said to one woman, "I believe you
are a nurse, is that correct?"
The woman was startled that a man whom she had never met had
just informed her of her occupation. "How would you know that? I
have never met you before," she questioned.
He replied, "I asked my Father and He told me." The Muslim had
his proof.
Many of us do not hear God's voice because we do not believe He
speaks or desires to speak to us. In order to hear, we must listen.
In order to listen, we must believe that He speaks. Ask the Lord
today for a listening ear so that others might know that you have a
heavenly Father who speaks.
3:7 Be not wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD, and turn away from evil. 3:8 It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. |
