Yes, anyone that asks; receives. Anyone that seeks; finds. Anyone that knocks on the door; it will and does open up to him. He wants us to know! That is how we will be able to function as a whole Body, the Church, by us individually knowing Him and accepting the responsibility of our part as we understand what it is from Him.

He speaks to us...

in a clear concise way; so He is easily and readily understood by us regardless of our language or education level. He speaks to our hearts. Our hearts are not our minds. He speaks to us individually in our own language. It's simple and it's direct.

If you are hearing something else that is confusing to you, then, chances are it's not from God. That is if you are earnestly seeking Him to reveal His Word to you. Jesus said: "Come unto me all you who labor and are heavily burdened and I will give you rest". What rest is there in not being able to grasp or comprehend who He is and what He has done?

You who have children, when you talk to your child, do you talk so they aren't able to understand? No, I don't think so. Well, if you were going to write him/her a note, or a message, would you write it so he/she couldn't understand what it said? No, I don't think so. Otherwise what good would the note be?

Well, how much more do you think God will make sure that we are knowing Him, as God? The abundance of information and other stuff is clouding our reception of the truth. Jesus said: "come learn of me…my yoke is easy and my burden is light." What do you think He was talking about there?

The massive amounts of information coming our way have made living in this world a complete and utter burden to us. We are bombarded, overcome with new kinds of material everyday, all day. Everything is made easier for us to know, with nothing being of any benefit to know. Jesus said: "come to me, come learn...it's easy".

He says: "I will speak to you in your own language, to your heart, so you can know, so you will know, what it is I am saying and what it is I am doing." Beloved, just take a minute to look at this whole thing, doesn't this sound great to you? This is the clearest way to say what needs to be said, and I pray for God to enlighten this to you as we continue. Now, let's go to the Word and take a look at a couple of things here.

I CORINTHIANS 14:9-11
(KJV)
9 So likewise ye, except ye utter by the tongue words easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? for ye shall speak into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification. 11 Therefore if I know not the meaning of the voice, I shall be unto him that speaketh a barbarian, and he that speaketh shall be a barbarian unto me.
(P. G. Parker)
So likewise unless you use the tongue to speak forth well known words how will it be known what you are saying?
(Johnson)
Don't you see that unless you speak clearly and distinctly, you will not get your message across—you will only be talking into the air…
(The Living Bible)
In the same way, if you talk to a person in some language he doesn't understand, how will he know what you mean? You might as well be talking to an empty room…
(Frank C. Laubach)
It is the same with you if you speak in a strange language. Your words mean nothing to others. And if nobody knows what you have said, you are speaking into the empty air…

Now, I think if anyone understands this point, it is our Father, God. He spoke it. What good is it if He speaks to us in a tongue we don't or can't understand? No good at all! So why would He even try to speak to us in that way?

He wouldn't and He doesn't, this is God we are talking about here, not our conception of God, but the one who is well able to communicate Himself to us as He is, not as we think He is.

He is not a God of misunderstanding; He is a God of understanding.

He knows what we have to go through, He was here, remember? His supreme desire for us is to know Him and we can know Him, in all His ways, as we desire to seek Him from where He is. As we desire to know Him and view Him from His vantage point, and not ours. He speaks to us through the spirit to our spirit. It is only from His spirit that we can understand what He is speaking to our spirit.
