God Speaks

Date: Sept 4, 2012
Text: Job 33-36

Rhema Verse: Job 33:14-17 "For God does speak —now one way, now another — though no one perceives it. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber in their beds, he may speak in their ears and terrify them with warnings, to turn them from wrongdoing and keep them from pride.

Message: God speaks in more ways than one. Most of the time, people think that the way God speaks is through a loud, frightening, earth-shaking, breath-taking voice; just like when Israel first heard him at Mount Sinai. Job wants to reason with God, but he was waiting for The God who spoke at Mount Sinai, he did not count his visitors as God's spokesman. God speaks in different ways, through a still-small-voice, prophets, visions, dreams, the Word of God, situation in life, parents, friends, even strangers, well actually God can use anything including animals- in the case of Balaam and Jonah.

Promise: My God is a God who speaks and listens to me intently.

Command: Listen to the voice of God.

Warning:

Application: There was a time when I was like Job, I questioned God about a situation in my life and there was a great mighty voice that I heard and it caused me to tremble with fear and reverence. God said, "did you make the stars? can you even count them? did you make this and that". And He Made himself known to me... There was so much authority in His voice and what He said that i dropped on the floor and all I can say was, "I'm sorry Lord, You are right I am wrong". I haven't read the book of Job at that time, and when I read it I was so happy, kasi May kamukha pala ako! I thank God that was the first time napagalitan ako, all throughout then, God spoke to me as the most sweetest voice I've ever heard.
