EXCERPTS FROM PASTOR ROBIN'S TEACHING

GOD’S VOICE
It is not merely by our faith that we are able to follow the life journey God has planned for us, but it is by listening to His Voice.
There are many examples in the Bible of God’s Voice telling people of His mighty and at times unusual plans for their lives. Biblical events often demonstrate that God loves to break His own natural laws to show that He is supreme. No one can walk on water, but Jesus did. No one can just rise up into the sky, but Jesus did. Even regarding his people, when He wants something done in their lives, He just goes ahead and does it, surpassing all human thought restrictions! Some Biblical examples are as follows:

God spoke to Zacharias through the Angel Gabriel, telling him that his wife Elizabeth would bear a son and that they were to name him John. Both being beyond the ages of productivity, he did not readily believe God. For this, God caused him to be mute until the time of John’s birth.

God spoke to Mary through the Angel Gabriel, telling her that she was to be the virgin mother of His Son. In her simplicity, she questioned the angel, but did not disbelieve God’s power and authority. It happened to her according to God’s Word.
God also spoke to Joseph (to whom she was engaged to be married), through an angel, revealing to him the mystery of her conception.

God spoke to the three wise men who followed the star to Bethlehem, instructing them not to return to Herod.

God spoke to Cornelius (Acts 10) telling him to send for Peter. God also spoke to Peter telling him to go with the men whom Cornelius had sent to get him.

God spoke to Elijah (1Kings) telling him to go to Zarephath and meet a widow who would provide him with food. God also spoke to the widow about Elijah. On reaching the place where God sent him, he saw a woman gathering sticks. He knew in his spirit that it was the widow and spoke to her.

When we are attentive to God’s Voice and always obey it even though it may be contrary to our own logical plans or way of thinking, we find ourselves at the right place at the right time. When God has a plan for our lives that involves another person, He speaks to that person as well. Praise the Lord!
