I’m not sure if you saw the story on the news. A so-called preacher claimed that he had God’s phone number. The video showed him dialing the number and asking God a question. The crowd stood by in amazement as he allegedly relayed Heaven’s answer. There are so many disturbing things about that story. But the one I want to focus on today is this: You and I can talk to God anytime, any place.
What frustrated me about this news story is that this man claimed to have special access to God. A private way to communicate with Heaven and in sense be the message man. But this couldn’t be further from the truth. Firstly, God doesn’t have a cell phone, nor does He need one. Secondly, God has made a way for all of us to communicate with Him, not just certain “chosen” ones.
God invites you to speak to Him
I love this verse found in Jeremiah 29:12, “Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” There are so many other verses in the Bible that invite us to speak to God through prayer. Did you know that you can talk to God any time you want to. Just open your heart to Him and tell Him how you’re feeling, what you’re thinking and what you are worried about. He loves to hear from us.
God wants to answer you
Is that a strange thing to grasp? That God not only wants you to speak to Him but He wants to answer you too? God is constantly speaking to us. The question is whether or not we can hear Him. God speaks to us primarily through His words in the Bible. If you read the Bible, you will find that certain verses will speak to your heart and your situation.
When last have you spoken to the Lord? How about making it a part of your daily life. He wants to hear from you and He longs to speak to you.
