The reason so many believers have a hard time hearing My voice and receiving My Words, is because they can easily doubt that I would spend time with them personally. It is very important, and not to be neglected, to take time to read the Bible and hear Me speak to you through the written Word. I have preserved the Word through the centuries – and many saints gave their lives to make the written Word, the Bible, available to all people. So reading the Bible is vital for all believers, where you can understand the foundation of your faith and receive guidance and instruction.
It is a step of faith to come to Me with your questions and then ask Me to speak to you personally and give you guidance about your everyday questions. Big or small, I am ready to give you the answers that you are seeking. You can find so many examples in the Bible of those who sought Me for guidance, for My Word – and how I came through for them, and led and guided them. And the ones you’ve read about are really just the tip of the iceberg – because throughout time I have been constantly present, speaking to those who came to Me.
But the enemy is always ready to attack you with doubts about My words to you. And that is the spiritual battle that is part of the life of a disciple. You will always get hit by battles and thoughts from the enemy. But the more you abide in Me and let My Word abide in you, the more fruit you will bear, and the more you will be equipped to stand strong during your times of temptation and battle.
