Jesus talks to me

If you have ever
Experienced the glory
Of the risen Jesus,
Tell the story.
If you’ve found His peace
Instead of worry
Tell the story.
Refuse to merely be
A repository
To safely store
Christ’s story.
Your revelatory
Experiences with Him
Need to be told.
Be articulatory
About what Jesus
Has done for you,
Tell the story!
If people are derogatory,
Be kind and keep on
Telling the story.

The silence of Christians about their personal encounters with the living Jesus causes people to think that Jesus is silent and inactive. To silence Christians when they gather for worship and make them little more than an audience shuts down their amazing stories of how God is working in and through them.

Jesus is talking directly to His people every day. However, because it’s rare for Christians to admit that they hear Him, it’s easy to believe that Christ is silent and His inner voice is only imagination.

Jesus frequently speaks to me with an inner voice deep inside me. It’s sometimes words, sometimes a sensation, sometimes a prompting, sometimes a flash of understanding and insight, sometimes an image, sometimes my conscience, sometimes a memory, sometimes a Scripture burning in my heart. I’ve even heard Him call me by name. The more I pay attention the stronger the voice of Jesus grows. If I resist, reject, or ignore His inner voice it fades away. When I listen and obey, amazing things happen. Listening to the voice of the living Jesus gives me incredible peace and powerful encounters with Him.

I’m so glad that Jesus said: “My sheep hear My voice,” and that He continually demonstrates those words to me. Listen carefully deep inside of you and you too can hear Jesus personally speak to you!
