Hearing God Through Numbers: A Testimony of Divine Guidance
Have you ever longed to hear God's voice, yearning for direction and clarity in your life? We often expect a booming voice from heaven, yet God speaks in whispers, through circumstances, and sometimes, even in ways that seem utterly bizarre (like a burning bush). Today's recording explores the unconventional ways God communicates, emphasizing the need for discernment and trust in His divine guidance.
Job 33:14 reminds us, "For God does speak—now one way, now another—though man may not perceive it." God is not limited to a single method of communication. He may speak through dreams, visions, a burning bush, a talking donkey, a thundercloud, a gentle nudge in our spirit, or even, as in my case, through numbers directing me to specific Scripture verses. This experience, though controversial, highlights God's limitless providence in reaching His children. I have wished that God would have chosen a different method to speak to me, because it resulted in much persecution, but none of us can tell God how he can, or cannot speak.
The key is not the method itself, but the inner witness of the Holy Spirit confirming the message. 1 John 2:27 reminds us, "...you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things”, and Jesus taught in John 10:4, “His sheep follow him because they know his voice." This inner confirmation, in the heart of a believer who prefers God’s will, a deep-seated assurance in our spirit, is the crucial element that separates true divine communication from deception.
Furthermore, Jesus taught us to recognize a tree by its fruit (Matthew 7:16) and that wisdom is proved right by her children (Luke 7:35). Does the message, regardless of how it's delivered, lead to Christlikeness? Does it produce "love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control" (Galatians 5:22-23)? Does it lead to the obedience which comes by faith (Romans 1:5)? These are the eventual hallmarks of authentic communication from God.
Let us not limit God by our fears, expectations, false teaching, or dismiss His voice because it comes in an unexpected package. Be open to the diverse ways He might choose to speak to you, always seeking the Holy Spirit's confirmation and discerning the fruit it produces. Ultimately, our responsibility is to trust God’s sovereignty, acknowledging that He knows the best way to reach each of us, even if it's through a series of numbers pointing us back to His living Word.
