That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. –– Romans 10:9-10 (3rd Part of "INTIMACY WITH GOD" Series) Have you ever talked to someone that didn't allow you to speak, because they were loquacious? They shared what they had on their mind, but didn't allow you any time to speak; it was a one-sided conversa- tion. I think that is a com- mon scenario when we are praying to God. We tell him all our troubles and present our to-do list that we demand him to accom- plish, but we don't always wait quietly before him to hear instructions. I believe that's why we were cre- ated with two ears and one mouth, so we could listen more than we talk with God and people. James 1:19 (AMP) states, "Understand this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Let everyone be quick to hear [be a careful, thoughtful listener], slow to speak [a speaker of care- fully chosen words and], slow to anger [patient, re- flective, forgiving]; The Word God created us to com- mune with him. He desires to talk to us. Jeremiah 33:3 (ESV) says, "Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known." The Lord gave us the Bible so we could learn how to communicate with Him effectively. The more we read, study and obey scripture, the sharper we become at discerning the voice of God. The Bible reveals God's thoughts, ways, and precepts. It teaches us how to develop a close relationship with him and how to manage every area of our lives. 2 Timo- thy 3:16 (AMP) says, "All Scripture is God-breathed [given by divine inspira- tion] and is profitable for instruction, for conviction [of sin], for correction [of error and restoration to obedience], for training in righteousness [learning to live in conformity to God's will, both publicly and privately—behaving hon- orably with personal integ- rity and moral courage]." Also, the Bible is the stan- dard that we should judge anything we hear with. For example, If I heard in my thoughts, "Take that money that just fell from that lady's purse; you need it! I would know instantly that God is not speaking, because it doesn't agree with scrip- ture. The bible says, "Do not steal!" God will never lead us away from what he has said in scripture. Isa- iah 40:8 (ESV) says, "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." P R A Y T H I S PRAYER: "Father, you are the God that speaks and listens. You are a relational God. I am in awe that you love me so much. I get to be in the Presence of the Creator of the Universe; that is absolutely amaz- ing. Please teach me how to hear you better and dis- cern your voice. I ask you to open up the eyes of my understanding so that I may comprehend your Word. Forgive me for being stuck on myself, instead of press- ing in to find out your plans. Lord, as I wait in your Pres- ence please show me what you want me to do. Lead and guide me so that I may honor you. I love you.In Jesus' name I pray, Amen."
