Jesus made it clear that God lives and operates in a different realm to ours. Heaven is different to earth and it has a different set of rules. It can be easy to unwittingly expect God to behave as if He was on earth.
Here’s an example: on earth we see then believe, but when we operate from the heavenly realm believing can come before seeing. That’s why Jesus said to Martha (the sister of Lazarus) “Didn’t I tell you that if you believe you will see” (Jo 11:40). When the words that we speak agree with the word of God which is “firmly fixed in heaven” (Ps 119:89) then our earthly circumstances become subject to the heavenly truth. Bill Johnson says: “Faith doesn’t deny a problem’s existence it denies it a place of influence.”
Don’t let that mountain influence you – your Father is in Heaven and He has a solution. Tell that mountain to go jump.
What expectations do you have regarding God speaking to you? Have you ever heard someone say “God told me this and that” and thought to yourself “Wow I wish God would speak to me like that.” The reality is that God is in heaven and may not choose to use the usual audible words we’re used to. More often He’ll give an impression, a thought, or catch your attention with a scripture. Prophetic words are handy also. Often God’s communication will be an accumulation of events, impressions and words over time that will bring us to a conclusion. God is always communicating but He’s not always “speaking” in the way your friends do. He’s in Heaven, you’re on earth – He already knows your language but you’d do well to learn His.
