What would you do if God spoke to you? I am not speaking of your conscience or a moral urge to do something right…but God spoke to you…what if it was audible? What would you do if God spoke to you and the message was unbelievable? What if God spoke to you and asked you to do something you knew you could not ever do…what then? What if someone’s life depended upon it…would that make a difference? One of the disorders of the Church universal today is that we have the faith (or fear) to think satan can attack us and cause us harm, yet we lack the faith to believe that God’s power works in ways foreign to our “normal” views and customs (which reminds me of Patsy Clairmont’s book, “Normal Is Just A Setting on Your Dryer!”). Read Scripture…repeatedly God uses things like a burning bush, a donkey, angels, prophets, and signs & wonders to ‘speak’ to his followers, but for some reason we do not expect, or will not allow, God to communicate to us that way. What if we did? What would our world look like? More smiling people…churches full…no more hurting? I am not exactly sure, but we have the opportunity to find out. God has spoken to us…all of us…and told us to witness to everyone about Jesus Christ (Acts 1:8). Need a reason beyond that? Next Sunday is Back to Church Sunday…who will you invite?
