You and I have been given the invaluable gift of communication with God.

Last week, we learned about the process of making the soil of our hearts soft and receptive to God.

This week, we'll learn some different ways to receive the seed of His Word. May your communion

with God flourish as you engage in continual conversation with your loving, present Heavenly Father.

Welcome to the first 15 podcast. Our scripture for today comes from Jeremiah 33 verse 3.

Scripture says,

Call to me and I will answer you

and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

For too much of my Christian life, I believed God didn't like to talk.

My experience led me to think that God only spoke a few times in history,

and only to people like Moses, David, or Paul, but never to a person like me.

Then one day, God spoke to me.

I asked him a question out of desperation, and he spoke.

The creator of the universe broke through the walls of my misconceptions

and spoke to my heart in a voice so clear it couldn't be mistaken.

After God spoke to me so clearly, I began to take time to listen.

And in making space for God to speak, my life began to be transformed by consistent internal conversation with my Heavenly Father.

You see, Scripture makes it clear that God loves to talk with his children.

John 847 says, whoever is of God hears the words of God.

Jeremiah 33, verse 3 says,

call to me and I will answer you,

and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.
