I spoke to you a couple of weeks ago, for those who are either here or online, I spoke about the design of God in our lives enabling us to hear his voice.

We were actually designed by God to hear his voice. Even our senses, our physical

senses, are designed to be able to perceive God. So Hebrews 5 passage. So I asked the question,

how many of you have had a hard time at times, have a hard time hearing the voice of the Lord but you you can sense

his peace so I ask you that now yeah that's his voice recognizing that that's actually the voice

of the Lord manifesting differently than we are dialed into or ready for it's actually the voice

of the Lord because he is the word.

And what happens is the Lord ministers to us most of the time at a level that we do not comprehend.

And we tend to judge our ability to hear God's voice. We measure it by our comprehension.

I doubt that we comprehend 10% of what he says.

But when he speaks, every time he speaks to us,

he puts us on a track where we're going to get what he just said.

But a lot of what he said, the disciples,

look through the Gospels, they didn't understand so many things Jesus said until after he died and a certain event happened.

Oh, and then they remembered that Jesus said, we're not any different.

That's why it scares me to have people predict what they think, how the end is going to come and how the Lord's going to return.

And nobody before you got it right, quit trying.

Just be ready when he goes, you know.

Just do what he said to do.
