The tree in my front yard has green leaves, if a voice is telling me they are blue; the voice is lying to me. The rose bush has pink flowers, if a voice is telling me they are brown; the voice is lying. The lilac has lavender flowers, green leaves, the stems are gray; if I am told anything different; the voice is lying.
If I go to God in prayer, and a voice is telling me something contrary to what God’s written Word says; the voice is lying and it isn’t God speaking to me.
Even Jesus when His ministry started, being tempted by the devil, had a voice telling Him something contrary to what God’s Word says. In Luke 4:4 Jesus responded to the devil, “No! The Scripture says.”
Please don’t just listen to any voice. What does scripture say? If it is God’s voice you are hearing, it will have God’s Word as its witness. God doesn’t lie, God will not tell you it is okay to do something contrary to His Word. This is how we know what God is saying, which will be different from what the devil is saying. God’s written Word confirms what we are hearing.
The Lessons God Taught a Simple Man, comes from moments like this. I spent time listening to God and aligning it with His Word. Then I followed His direction and put it to pen. This book was written with a desire to share what God has taught me. I wanted you to know that you are not alone. God will speak to you, as He spoke to me.
May the love of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ
cause you to abound unto every good work.
Those that have ears, let them hear.
Richard Durdel loves Jesus Christ, the Son of Living God, who is his Lord and Savior with his whole heart. In the 1980’s, Richard went to college but didn’t graduate. He has some education, however, he by no means is a theologian. Richard considers himself to be blue collar, as many of you that read this book may be. The words written down may not always flow fluently but they are the words that God has given him. Richard prays you understand as he has understood.
