My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me (John 10:27).
Does God Talk?
There’re those who don’t believe God still talks to people today like He did in Bible days. So when they hear someone say, “God talked to me,” it beats their imagination. “Will God leave all the busy things He has to do, running all the planetary systems and so on, to talk to you?” they wonder. Well, the truth is God loves to talk to His children. He’s a master communicator who thinks you’re important enough for Him to talk to.
If you’ve never heard Him, maybe you’ve not been listening. It’s also possible that God could have been talking to you and you didn’t know it was Him. Remember the story of the little boy, Samuel. God called him three times, but he thought it was Eli the priest (1 Samuel 3:4-10). Why? Because you see, when God talks, He talks with the voice of a man, and a lot of times, He uses a familiar voice.
When Jesus spoke out of heaven to Saul of Tarsus (who later became Paul), He called him by name and said “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he (Saul) said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest...” (Acts 9:4-5). Jesus had a dialogue with Paul in the Hebrew tongue (Acts 26:14), a language that Paul understood.
God still talks to us today; in fact, He does every day! He can talk to you in a familiar voice, and in a language you understand. Start training yourself to recognize His voice. The more you study and familiarize yourself with God’s Word, the easier it is for you to recognize and respond when He speaks to you.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the special relationship of love I share with you. Thank you because your voice is always with me to guide and direct me in all the affairs of life. As I spend time in fellowship with you today, I become sensitive to your will and purpose for my life, in Jesus’ Name.

Proverbs 6:20-22
Pro 6:20 My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Pro 6:21 Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
Pro 6:22 When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Isaiah 30:21
And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.

Perfect Love
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him (1John 4:16).
The Master’s parable of the prodigal son in Luke 15:11-32 reveals the Father’s unconditional and Perfect Love. In that story, after the prodigal son had spent all his father gave him on riotous living, the Bible records that he later scrambled for food with swine. One day, he suddenly came to himself and decided to go back to his father (Luke 15:17-18).
As soon as his father saw him from afar, he rushed out to embrace him. The first thing he told his father was, “Forgive me,” and his father did! This describes the Perfect Love nature of our heavenly Father towards us. Once you repent and say, “Father, forgive me for what I did wrong,” He is quick to forgive because it’s His nature to do so. The young man’s father killed his “ fatted calf” to celebrate his lost son’s return; an action that paralleled God’s sacrifice of His only Son, Jesus, for our salvation.
When a believer who has strayed from the truth returns to God, He receives him gladly and establishes him in the right path. The believer will not be anything less in God’s hand; God would place him in his rightful place— an heir of the kingdom. This is why as a child of God, you should take advantage of the Father’s Perfect Love; rejoice daily in His love, for He loves you unconditionally.
PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for your Perfect Love; thank you for your kindness and your mercies toward me; They are from everlasting to everlasting. I rejoice exceedingly today, knowing that your love for me is unending and perfect. I will today manifest your love to my world, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Confessions
By the blessing of the upright the city is exalted: but it is over thrown by the mouth of the wicked {Proverb 11:11}.
Jesus taught extensively on the importance and power of our Confessions. In Mark 11:23 He said,"...you shall have what you say". That's an established law in the realm of the spirit-the content of your Confessions is what comes to youwhether positive or negative. Now, bringing this to our subject of discussion, the effect of our Confessions in our lives can not be over emphasized, they either nake or mar the peace, progress and our spiritual development.
As God's people, our Confessions are loaded with power {Ecclesiates 8:4} therefore, let your Confessions about your life and that of your environment be words that will shape, build and establish you in prosperity, unity, peace, progress and economic stability and also teach others to do the same.
It never really matters what others are saying about you,maintain your Confessions of who you are in Christ, no matter who is trying to demean you because what you see real becomes your reality. Your Christian maturity begins in your tongue.

Faith Confessions
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful {Psalm1:1}.
The Prophet of God Moses sent out twelve men to spy out the land of Canaan. When they returned, ten of them gave a negative and evil report, while only two: Joshua and Caleb were different, their Confessions was base on faith and Godly report. Consequently, the others that brought the evil report received their punishment because of their unbelief and God rewarded Joshua and Caleb for choosing to maintained the Faith Confessions despite the physical circumstances.
As a Christians, You were born into the family of Faith and our Confessions should always represent our true identity like our father Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, who had the Faith Confessions in their lips at all and came out triumphant.
They had a different way of thinking, they reason from the perspective of God’s Word only. These are the ones whose examples we’re to follow; we’re to imitate their life style and emulate their Faith Confession.
Christians who still think and Confess negatively probably grew up amongst negative talkers and thinkers. The Bible says, if you walk with the wise you become wise, they also have grown to imbibe the negative-mentality. This shows that negativism is acquired, and we acquire if from those in our environment and those we associate with. So, relates only with those you know that will inspire you, those that have the Faith Confession in their lips always.
I urge you today to choose the way. Learn to live by Faith in God’s Word every day and let you lips be Full with the Confession of Faith, be positive and possibility-conscious. Surround yourself with the right inspirational materials, Saturate your environment with your Confession of God’s Word. So that when people come to you, whether young or old, they’ll be influence by your Faith Confessions.
