God Still Speaks

And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Acts 1:10-11

Jesus had gone to the Cross, died for the sins of the world, and, with all power and authority, resurrected. Remember, Jesus had said: “...I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again” (John 10:17-18).

After Jesus’ last discourse with His disciples, He stood on the Mount of Olives and ascended to heaven to return to His Father in heaven. In awe, the disciples were transfixed; they remained staring up into heaven. Two angels spoke to them: “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven”  (Acts 1:11).

The angels reaffirmed what Jesus had prophetically said to His disciples before: ...they [all the tribes of the earth] will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory (Matthew 24:30). Jesus had also comforted them with the promise of His return in John 14:1-4.

God continues to speak to us all the time; He speaks loud and clear, but are we listening? So many people do not believe that God can speak to them. Yet in the past, He has spoken prophetically through His prophets––Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Haggai, and Zechariah. God has spoken to us in these Last Days loud and clear through His Son Jesus Christ.

God still speaks. He is not silent. He speaks to you as you read your Bible. Through the Word of God, He makes His voice known.  He will speak to your heart and spirit. Listen for His still small voice.

Only after all the noise has spent itself do we begin to hear in the silence of our heart, the still, small, mighty voice of God.
