In these days … you have to listen (for yourself)!
In the days of the wilderness wanderings, the children of Israel trembled in the sight of God … and said to Moses, “You go and speak to God for us; and we will listen to you”. However, in these days, we can’t be like the children of Israel and say to someone else … “Go and speak to God for me, and tell me what the Lord is saying!” And though we don’t ignore prophetic voices, (we test them), if we are born again and have His Holy Spirit, we can receive communication direct… from the Lord, Himself.

A farmer was showing his visiting citydwelling friend around his farm. “Watch this!” he said. He gave a whistle and his little dog came running from the house, herded the cattle into the corral, then latched the gate with her paw. “Wow, that’s some dog — what’s her name?” The forgetful farmer thought for a minute and then asked, “What do you call that red flower that smells good and has thorns on the stem?” “A rose?” “That’s it!” The farmer turned to his wife. “Hey Rose, what do we call this dog?”

According to church history, the apostle Thomas, died in Calamina, a city in the East Indies. While there, Thomas had put a stop to the idolatry that was running rampant in the land. The idolatrous priest was not happy about this at all and accused him before their king. The king sentenced Thomas to death — first to be tormented by red hot plates and then cast into a glowing furnace and burned. When the priest saw that the fire was not hurting him, he pierced Thomas’ side with spears and javelins, and finally Thomas died.
