My sheep listen to My voice, I know them and they follow me – John 10:27
An Englishman tells a true story of his encounter with a Muslim man while walking in the country. The Englishman wanted to share the gospel with this man but knew little of Muslim beliefs. The two man talked as they walked and agreed they would each share their beliefs with one another. The Muslim went first and dominated the time of sharing. The Englishman asked the Holy Spirit how to share his faith with the Muslim man.
“Do you consider your god your father who speaks?” asked the Englishman.
“Certainly not.” replied the Muslim man.
“That is one of the big different between your god and my God. I consider my God as my Father who speak to me personally.”
“You can not prove that.” Stated the Muslim man.
The Englishman again prayed to himself.
“Lord, how do I prove this to this man?” A few moment later that two man began walking toward to young ladies on the other side of the road coming toward them. As they approched, the Englishman spoke to the ladies and make small conversation. He then said to one woman. “I believe you are a nurse, is that correct?”
The woman was startled that a man whom she had never met had just informed her of her occupation. “How would you know that? I have never met you before.” she questioned.
He replied. “I asked my Father and He told me.” The Muslim had his proof.
Many of us do not hear God’s voice because we do not believe He speaks or desires to speak to us. In order to hear, we must listen. In order to listen, we must believe that he speaks. As the Lord today for a listening ear so that others might know that you have a heavenly Father who speaks.
