Hello?

 

Is anyone there?

 

God, can you hear me?  Hello?…

 

No response just crickets….Yep, nothing but the still silence of the night and me speaking, then shouting, and finally screaming in hopes that God can and will hear me.

 

God, are you there? Are you even hearing me?  Can you hear me now?

 

The images of the Verizon commercial come to mind when I think of how I used to view communication with God.  You know the ‘Can you hear me now’ commercial?

 

The commercial goes something like this:  Man pops up out of a manhole and says into his cellphone, “Can you hear me now?” man nods his head and says, “Good!”  Then again, he asks the same question but he is in some remote off the beaten path location. Over and over he asks the same question in a different location and gets the same response… “Can you hear me now?  Good.”

 

It may seem strange to some, but most of my growing up years in the church, I didn’t know that God still spoke today.  I didn’t understand that God wanted a relationship with a two-way conversation.  I didn’t realize that we could speak to God just like we do with our friends or family and that He would respond.

 

 

What I thought before, seems kind of silly to me now.  I figured God was busy. He was up in Heaven somewhere doing His God thing.  So, when I prayed, He would eventually get around to answering it with a Yes, No, or Maybe, and I just had to wait for Him to eventually decide.

 

One revelation from God can change everything.  First, came the revelation that God still speaks today.  Then came the revelation that He wasn’t distant, but that He wanted to have a personal relationship with me.  A personal relationship, which involves a two-way conversation, and that is just the beginning!

 

 

In Matthew 4:4 Jesus says, “It is written, Man shall not live on bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of God” (ESV).  I always took this verse to mean, that we needed to not just give our bodies natural substance of food, but that we needed to read the Word of God too.  While that is the absolute truth, I was still missing something.  The ‘something’ I was missing was that God communicates today not just through His Holy Scriptures, but also through other sources of encouragement. He sent His Holy Spirit to speak to us, to guide us, and lead us into all truth.

Jesus modeled this two-way conversation throughout His life. He also embraced a lifestyle of encouragement, changing the atmosphere and lives of people everywhere He went.

 

 

This is why I wrote the book, The Gift of Prophetic Encouragement.  I don’t know about you, but I want to change the atmosphere and edify the lives of people everywhere I go. Together, we can change our world one encouraging word at a time.

Join me as we journey together in embracing a lifestyle of prophetic encouragement.
