God Speaks to Me | shekinahsonshine.com

For I know the thoughts I think towards you,said the Lord; thoughts of peace and not evil, to give you an expected end. Jeremiah 29:11

Has God ever spoken directly to you - by name? Was your encounter with God and the ensuing relationship the result of circumstances? Did God speak to you in a day or night vision [dream]? Or, have you always been someone who enjoys doing what is right? When God embosses His plan in your life, you know for He devises a direct, affective route to your most innermost being.

Noah preached righteousness and God saved his family. Jacob recognized that surely the presence of the Lord was in the place. One songwriter talks about hearing "the brush of angel wings and seeing glory on each face!" When Moses came down from the mountain after meeting with God, he had to veil his face. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego did not fear the fiery furnace and they did not smell of smoke because the Son of God ruled in their circumstances.Samuel heard the voice of God;and he responded by listening with the heart of a servant.

Jonah knew that it was futile to run from God; and David asks where can you go from His presence? In spite of his troubles, Job did not curse God. Instead he declared:"I know that my Redeemer liveth..." Isaiah recognized his unworthiness until an angel with a tong took a live coal from the altar, touched his lips and purged his iniquities. After that, he volunteered for service.

Saul was on his way to Damascus to persecute Christians. Blinded by the presence of Jesus and knocked from his horse to the ground, he asked God about His will. What did God want him - Saul of Tarsus - to do? God transformed him, changed his name to Paul; and he is known as the "Apostle to the Gentiles". Paul proved to be a prolific letter[epistle] writer.

Today, God is the same. Each Bible character demonstrates a character trait associated with a ministry gift.Think about the text from Jeremiah 29:11 .

God has for us a plan; God has for us His will. Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers declare simply: "The wait is over. Walk into your season." When the fullness of time arrives, God finds an Esther, a Ruth, an Elizabeth,a Mary for a reason... and a season. Do you walk with God to exercise your faith or your wait? Bask in His presence and walk in the light of His Son. Shekinah SONshine? The name says it all!
