LORD, I'M LISTENING!

I have just heard this testimony from a Christian sister about hearing God's voice. As I am at present reading a book on this same subject, I love to share her experience to exhort and edify one another in our own walk with God.

As a young Christian, this sister does not know that we must avoid being a guarantor. (Proverbs 6) A good friend of hers wanted this sister to be a guarantor.My sister approached her pastor (also her cell leader) for advice, but it happened that her pastor was out of town. So she prayed to God the whole day regarding this issue. She said:"Lord, if you do not want me to be a guarantor, then give me peace". The whole day, she did not have peace - she perceived that God said OK. The next day before she went to the lawyer's office, she prayed the same prayer again, but she still did not get peace. So she told God:"Father, since I don't have peace, it means OK right? So now I am going to the lawyer
already hoh."

At the office (very tiny with some old papers posted on the wall) the lawyer wanted her to sign on the dotted line. But he dropped something on the floor and bent down to pick it up. It was at this point, God sp9ke to my sister. Because while waiting, she looked around the tiny office and felt and see serenity - that means peace! (Remember, the office was small and uncluttered?) And she asked God to help her to say 'NO Way I'm signing this'. When the lawyer straightened himself, he looked at my sister and asked"Young lady, do you know what will your consequence be after you sign? Are you sure what you are doing?"

My sister asked,"Do you mean I can don't sign?"
The lawyer said:"Of course!"
So my sister left without committing herself. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. He came to rescue her at the 11th hour. (That means, not too early nor too late = perfect timing)

So what I would like to share is the Lord can speak to us in many ways. The question is'"Are you listening?" I am also learning to hear GOD's voice. The important requisite is that we must be so in line with God, so quiet in Him that when He speaks, we can hear and obey.
