When Jesus spoke out of heaven to Saul, He called him by name and said, “…Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” He can get that up close and personal when He talks to you. He spoke to Saul (who later was called Paul) in the Hebrew tongue (Acts 26:14), which Paul understood. Interestingly, those travelling with Paul heard the same voice but couldn’t make out the words. The voice from the Lord— His message—was specific and personal to Paul!
God talks to us every day! He’s personal with you when He speaks. He can speak to you in a familiar voice and in a language you understand. The more you study and meditate on the Word, the easier it is for your spirit to recognise and respond when He speaks to you. Paul didn’t know it was the Lord speaking to Him until the Master said, “…I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting….” He had to reveal Himself to Paul, which He does with us today, through the Holy Spirit.
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for your presence in my life through the1 Holy Spirit. Life isn’t a mystery for me because the Holy Spirit teaches me all things. The truths of God are unveiled to my spirit, and by them I walk in the realms of glory, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
