HAVING A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD
Mankind is designed to think, talk, act and plan with God. This was why in Acts 16:16-18 when Paul encountered a female slave who was possessed by an evil spirit and she kept on following Paul for many days shouting, “These men are of God,” because Paul knew God’s opinion of himself and others, he was able to discern the spirit in her and so delivered her immediately. When you are in a relationship with Jesus, you change and become a man who is directed by your Heavenly Father. Therefore, what you speak will be according to the truth of God’s Word and you would hear yourself and God would hear you. If Paul’s instruction or command to the evil spirit was not according to the truth of God’s Word, it would have been idle and meaningless – I mean, it would have carried no force or power in it. So, as a Christian, if what you speak is not according to the truth of God’s Word, you would only hear yourself but God would not hear you.
