When God Speaks - Believe

When God Speaks — Believe

Let’s take a moment to compare the attributes of our God with ourselves. The difference is vast — a chasm as wide as the Grand Canyon. Yet even so, it is good to ask, as Moses did, that God would give us a glimpse of His glory. When the Lord placed Moses in the cleft of the rock and covered him with His hand, He allowed him to see just His back — a reminder that God’s mercy both reveals and protects. We, too, need that mercy to see our hearts as He sees them.

Be merciful, my glorious heavenly Father, for You alone have the power to grant our requests.

There are moments when God breaks through our noise — an epiphany, when a phrase burns in your mind like spoken words: “When God says something, just believe.” Don’t doubt. Don’t question. If God has decided it, it will come to pass.

We doubt so often and then try to justify it with weak reasoning. But when God speaks, it happens. Now imagine that word mixed with faith — the impact would change everything.

God is not bound by time as we are. Time is tied to the carnal mind, and to be carnally minded is to be at enmity with God. Faith and carnality live in two separate worlds. The faith I speak of is not childlike trust — like a child who knows his father will catch him — but the faith of a mustard seed: the faith that believes against all odds, that clings to the unseen until it becomes reality.

Now, faith and character — do they interlock? Our character is often self-centred, ruled by selfishness, tangled in complexity that destroys the simplicity of life. “Be content with what you have” seems to elude most of us. But there is one thing in our favour: we are sinners by nature. We didn’t choose this; we inherited it. Adam and Eve disobeyed. They didn’t trust God. Eve listened to the serpent — the same one who was cast out of heaven for not listening to God.

The lesson is simple: the Word of God is the voice of God in text. He has spoken — and still speaks — through its pages. The Holy Spirit helps us understand and leads us into all truth. God has also given us a conscience, finely tuned to align with His Word. But if we keep ignoring it, our conscience grows dull — seared and deaf to His whisper.

So how will we know what God is saying if we aren’t listening? How intentional are we with our ears?
Read — read — and read again. Then ask God for understanding.

When it comes to the application, I am not sure if this side of heaven we will ever work out the formula to apply to our lives. Everyone seems to have an answer — but do they really?

For I am persuaded that nothing can separate us from the love of God when our hearts are sincere. Yes, we will make mistakes, but God remains faithful even when we are not. He cannot deny Himself. He is unchanging — the great I AM who sent Moses to deliver His people.

We are the created; He is the Creator. He holds final authority over all things.

Do you truly believe this?

The “universe” has nothing to do with your eternal outcome — it is merely another created thing, fully subject to God’s command. Yet so many today speak of “the universe” as if it were divine. Romans 1 warned us of this very deception, and its end is destruction.

Let us therefore return to the truth: when God speaks, believe.
