Job 33:13-15 NLT Elihu speaking to Job says,
13. So why are you bringing a charge against him? Why say he does not respond to people’s complaints? 14. For God speaks again and again, though people do not recognize it. 15. He speaks in dreams, in visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they lie in their beds.
Ohh what a moment. I started thinking have you been listening for God? Have you been watching for God? Have you put your self in position to receive a word from God?… in the text God’s word clearly tells us of how God speaks to us.
A few weeks ago, I was struggling with sleepless nights and waking from my sleep in a panic and it dawned on me that I had been wrestling with the enemy in my sleep. I felt as if the enemy knew during the day I was fighting him with the word but at night I was leaving the door open for him to try to get to me. Whewww how could this be, let me tell you. I wasn’t covering myself before I would lie down. I wasn’t praying my night time prayers. Yes I was taught as a child to say my prayer before bed but as an adult. The hustle and bustle of life has interfered so I’m drained at the end of the day. No excuse I’m on it now.
As I have became aware of what the enemy was trying to do, and I begin to fight back I could hear God speaking clearly. Not only did God start showing up in the middle of the night, I begin to see him more throughout the day. What I mean by this is, It may not always be a voice. God is always showing Himself. Not only does He speaks to us in our dreams, He can speak through nature or He can speak through things we may read. Listen, we have to put ourselves in position to hear and see from God. Most importantly we must allow ourselves to believe it’s Him speaking to us. God wants our attention.
