How You Can Talk With God

[Guest guest]

Talking with God is a definite fact. In India I have been in the

presence of saints while they were talking with the Heavenly Father.

And all of you, also, may communicate with Him; not a one-sided

conversation, but a real talk wherein you speak to God and He

responds. Everyone can talk to the Lord, of course. But I am

discussing today how we may persuade Him to reply to us.

 

Why should we doubt? The scriptures of the world abound in

descriptions of talks between God and man. One of the most beautiful

of these incidents is recorded in I Kings 3:5-13 in the Bible: " The

Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, Ask what I

shall give thee. And Solomon said .... Give therefore Thy servant an

understanding heart. ... And God said unto him. Because thou hast

asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither

hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine

enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment;

Behold, I have done according to thy words; lo, I have given thee a

wise and an understanding heart ... And I have also given thee that

which thou hast not asked, both riches and honor. "

 

David, too, held converse many times with the Lord, and discussed even

mundane matters with Him. " And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I

go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into mine

hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into

thine hand.
