You hear so many people saying, "I don't know what God is saying. I don't ever hear from God."
But some of those same people are quick to tell you what the devil said to them. Think about that for a minute. How is it they hear the devil but don't hear God?
Some Christians go around saying, "The devil said this to me." But they say, "I never hear what God is saying." They were too busy talking to the devil. They need to tune to a different frequency and confess, "I don't hear the voice of a stranger. I hear the voice of the Good Shepherd."
After confessing that for eight or ten months, it will be much easier to hear the voice of the Good Shepherd.
We have assumed some things, and then we have been taught some other things, which were wrong. When you confess the promises of God's word, you will find there is enough power in each promise to cause it to manifest itself in your life. It will manifest itself in every aspect of your life over a period of time.
But you must do it. It is not a matter of saying, "Well, it's in the Bible. I guess it will happen to me."
The Kingdom of God is as if a man cast seed into the ground. You must sow the seed, then the harvest will come. The harvest has no choice. It must come. It is God's promise. If you will sow the seed, you eventually will receive a harvest for the law of seedtime and harvest is still in effect. It will never cease as long as the earth remains. This is God's method and it will work for you.
The choice is yours. But you must make a decision to do it. If you are not satisfied with your harvest, check up on the seed you are sowing. If you are sowing the incorruptible seed of God's Word, your harvest is on the way. Don't give up. With God, you can make it.
