Hey gang I wanted to check in with you and see how your reading is going with "Walking with God". This book has been a rich experience for me and I pray it has been for you already. For those of you who haven't purchased it you can get it at the church info table for $15. For those of you who have I encourage yo to get started on the reading schedule that was included with the book.
By now some of you have discovered that yes God in fact does still speak to us. And why wouldn't he. The Bible is filled with examples of God talking to his people and you are one of those people. Why else would he have given us His Word and not have that be a part of our life as well. I like the verse in James that says "The prayers of a righteous person are powerful and affective" or something like that. Do you honestly believe in your heart that you CAN hear from God? Believe it and practice it! This month of July is going to be a new experience for many of us. I have found Eldridge's book to be extremely challenging and at times uncomfortable. But it does have promise to lift us out of our comfort zones and our paralyzed prayer lives. I am already sensing He is working in some of your hearts and challenging you to live powerful lives in God and not wimpy weak lives. We have the power of prayer and I pray that we all grow in it.
Don't get discouraged. Hearing from God doesn't just happen overnight. It happens and comes to us out of a relationship. the more we work at our relationship and the more familiar we are with the person in the relationship the better able we are to hear their voice. If you are having trouble discerning god's voice or feeling like your prayers are not effective than this is the book for you. Open your hearts to what God wants to do. Invest yourself in this study and the sermons in July and watch what God can do. Blessings, Your Dreaming Pastor
