Are You Listening for God’s Voice?
“I love those who love me, and those who seek me diligently will find me. Riches and honor are with me, enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, and my revenue than choice silver.”

Ponder This
Proverbs 29:18 says, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (KJV). We need to see, no matter if God appears to us in an angel as He did to Gideon long ago or whether God speaks to us in another form. And if you wish God would speak to you as he spoke to Gideon through the angel of the Lord, remember that you have something better than Gideon ever had: You have the Word of God. You have the Holy Spirit of God living in you to guide and direct you.
Don’t go whining and complaining about God not speaking. God wants to speak. Do you want to hear? Are you ready to listen to what God is saying? You will never have victory in your life, at home, in school, in business, in your neighborhood, in the Church, or in society until you get a vision of Almighty God. You need to see God big and strong and mighty. You need to desire His ways more than your own.
- What comes to mind when you think of God speaking?
- Are you expecting God to speak to you regularly through His Word?
Practice This
Ask a trusted fellow believer to share how he or she listens to God through His Word.

What is the mission of the Church?
Love Worth Finding's newest book, "A Final Charge to the Church, "is based on the final series of messages Pastor Rogers preached before retiring in 2005. Pastor Rogers wanted to prepare his congregation for the future. In doing so, he provided a biblically sound blueprint that applies to all Christians on topics including unity among believers, standing strong in opposition to the enemy (Satan), the power of the Holy Spirit to change lives, steadfastness in prayer, true worship, faithfulness to God's Word, caring for others, and the kingdom authority given to believers in Jesus Christ. The book is a great read for all believers who want to become better prepared, as the bride of Christ, to be radiant, pure, and faithful to Jesus, the living Word of God.
