TEXT:1 SAM 3:9-10
1 Samuel 3:8-9
And the Lord called Samuel again the third time. And he arose and went to Eli, and said, Here am I; for thou didst call me. And Eli perceived that the Lord had called the child. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel, Go, lie down: and it shall be, if he call thee, that thou shalt say, Speak, Lord; for thy servant heareth. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.
My father who is 77yrs just got a smart phone from one of my siblings.This cellphone was different from all he had ever used.Now,he is having a hard time to pick calls and even access the phone.He keeps asking for help on how to operate the phone.
In the anchor text,Samuel missed two calls from God because he did know how to discern God's voice and how to even pick divine call.He needed the input of Eli the priest.Samuel like my father,didn't know which button to press or swipe to answer God's call.Until Eli showed him how to use the green phone icon.
Many folks are missing out on this vital and pivotal concept of hearing from God because of unteachability and lack of matured mentors to put them through.God keeps calling,speaking,revealing yet they don't know how to connect.The green phone icon that Samuel needed to swipe was just
"Speak,Lord,your servant is listening "....that's all.That is the button.
Paying attention,sustaining sensitivity and living in atmosphere of expectations are the keys.God still calls,God still speaks today.
And sometimes you need to initiate the prophetic by asking questions like David always did. Operating in the prophetic dimensions(hearing,seeing,feeling in the spirit)also requires orientation,impartation and activation.
Even right now God is calling ,God is speaking. Just press or swipe up the green phone icon.And there you go!
