Couple of nights ago as I laid down to go to sleep I found myself in a one way conversation with God. Like many Christians I talk to God throughout the day even as I lay down to sleep, so, for me this was perfectly normal. Generally, I usually talk about what I see going on in the world, or, asking for help understanding a specific subject in the bible. But on this particular night, God’s voice answered back.
It’s important to understand that sometime earlier in the week I was asking God for help. I felt like I’ve been spiritually attacked a lot lately so was praying to God asking for His help with this situation.
And as I started speaking again I heard a voice say to me, PRAY TO HIM. Each time I’ve heard God speak, His voice has a booming sound to it, it’s not loud, just weightier. Where with the voice of Jesus, His tends to be much softer. While I felt it was God’s voice, I still felt I needed to find scriptures to back up what I had heard, because, I know as a Christian deception is always at our door. And if everything is constantly smooth in one’s life, chances are an evaluation is needed. This is backed up by scripture, which states;
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against
the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Ephesians 6:12
So it’s a constant warring of the mind and I don’t want to listen to any unclean spirit that may decide to make an appearance. Because this world is full of them and we have to be extremely careful. But I found scriptures which made me re-evaluate things, so I’ll leave you with these.
John 5:22,23 – For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son, so that all will honor the Son just as they honor the Father. The one who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.
John 14:14 – If you ask Me anything in My Name, I will do it.
2 Corinthians 12:8,9 – Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
John 9:38 – And he said, “I believe, Lord.” And he worshiped Him.
Philippians 2:10,11 – So that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Matthew 28:17 – And when they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.
I believe I heard God’s voice to point me to Jesus so I could pray and ask for His help. Because like Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:8,9, I’ve been spiritually attacked, but, that’s just my thoughts…
