For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man
perceiveth it not. In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; Then he openeth the ears of men,
and sealeth their instruction, That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and
hide pride from man (Job 33:14-17).
As the opening verses show, the Lord even
speaks to men in sleep. There’re no restrictions to Him. He constantly sends
His words to men in various ways, but many take no notice or pay attention, and
pay the heavy price for ignorance, disobedience or rebellion.
Sometimes, when we deliver a prophecy or
message of revelation for several minutes or even longer in church, some people
wonder how long it took God to tell us those things. “Were you listening to God
for that whole hour?” they ask; trying to find out how long it took God to give
His message. He could take a whole lot of time to communicate something very
brief, and He could impart so much into your spirit in a short space of time.
We consider time because we live in the realm of time, but God doesn’t live in
the realm of time. He lives in eternity.
When you talk with Him, your spirit is open to
hear and receive from Him. He ministers to you in the spirit, and you receive
what He shares with you in the spirit, and can communicate back to Him. It’s a
spirit-to-spirit communication. What a glorious fellowship! That’s why it’s so
important that you pray from your spirit, speaking fervently in other tongues,
and get your spirit lit up and alive to God.
PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for the
ability to hear and recognize your voice. I walk in the spirit, and not in the
flesh. Therefore, my spirit is constantly trained by your Word to hear and
discern your voice, as you lead me in perpetual triumph, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
