God Knows Our Name...

Hello everyone God bless You....

John 10:3...Living Bible...

The gatekeeper opens the gate for Him and the Sheep hear His voice and come to Him; and He calls His own Sheep by name..and leads them out ...

A healthy Faith knows God is Personal with us , knows everything about us including Our Names...sometimes without warning God will speak to me and when He does He calls me by name...Beautiful Daughter, My Child...Betty Jean...God never talks to me unless He calls me by name...there are many instances in the bible where God calls out to His Followers, His Children...Noah , Moses, Gideon the Prophets , Apostles...one example is when He calls out to Saul on the road to Damascus, on a warm summer afternoon...talks to him and then changes his name to Paul and then Paul is forever know through the letters he had written to the churches....

From a book I just finished reading ..called Nine Ways God Always Speaks..
Jennifer Schuchmann....very exciting book to read , its a wonderful book full of stories of others like ourselves on their journey of ways to hear from God on a more Personal Level in their lives...

Speaking our name is just one way of communing with us and if we investigate further nine ways can lead in fifty ways God talks to us ...

Speaking your name is just one way , God talks to us ...He is Our Creator yet He wants to have conversation with us. When you need advice , He is a Career Counselor, a Locker-Room Confidant, a Sage who says more with one well placed question then Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Milton all together, He's the Father who Names You, the Mother who Coos over You, the Artist showing His Wonderful World, He is the Attorney who defends you and the Gentle Watcher who sings over you in the night , He's the real hitch-hikers guide to the galaxy. God is Your Biggest Fan and Your Greatest Love, there's no one more mesmerizing , more clever, generous, witty or spontaneous. He's been to the most interesting places, knows the most fascinating people, and tells some amazing tales--and He wants to introduce You to this ..

Hearing God speak to You is one of those things that may seem impossible, almost to good to be True, but it can be True, In fact, it's too good not to be true..and it is True for You..I would like you to read all of John 10, and ask for His Guidance and Wisdom..

Gods speakes through ...

Our Circumstances....
Other People....
History....
Nature....
Emotions...
Our Mind/Conscience....
His Word...
Dreams and Visions....

But it does require a bit of action on Our Part, Listening isn't enough there must be a response, every relationship requires two people who each speak and listen, hear and respond. The ninth way God speaks is in response to Our Actions..

Hear is just a few examples of how God speakes to us ...through the Word...

He said to give to those in need....
He says to forgive those who wrong us ....
He says find ways to love our enemies....
He says tell our stories to others....
He says to remember our sorrows and how he brought us through them....

With the help of the Holy Spirit let us Open Out Hearts and Mind and Hear God Speak to Us...I pray You will now go back to all of the ways God Speaks and Search out what He was saying to You...

God Does Know Our Names and Speaks Quite Often to Us...amen...
Awesome God we Worship and Commune With ..

Praise Jesus , He is the Way, the Truth, the Light..
In Jesus Love Your Sister in Christ Betty Jean...
