      PREFACE

      GOD DREW ME TO HIMSELF as he drew me to his Word. Listening to the Voice of God is an account of the living Word of God as it has enriched my life. In the fourteenth chapter of the book of Matthew, Jesus distributed fish and bread to the disciples, directing them in turn to distribute to the multitude. The pattern continues as he gives us spiritual food and calls upon us to share it with others.

      In that spirit, I am sharing what he has given to me. Come along and rejoice in God’s love and care. If you have not yet personally experienced new life in Jesus, may these pages help you find a new appreciation for God’s Word and to seek him and his will for your life.

      Thanks to Elder W. F. Faust, Jr., who has conveyed his love of and devotion to the Word of God to everyone who has sat in the congregation of the Victory in Christ Bible Church, and who has brought so much of the Scriptures to light for me.

      All Scripture quotations are taken from the Holy Bible, King James Version.

      INTRODUCTION

      LISTENING TO THE VOICE OF God is a personal witness of God moving in my life. It is a witness of his willingness to love and care for each person born into the world. It is based on God’s Word as recorded in the Holy Bible, and portrays God’s gracious response to those who have faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.

      There is a wisdom and knowledge that only God can impart. Such wisdom and knowledge exists apart from information acquired through educational training. I know, because I, as well as many other believers in Christ, laypersons like myself, have received enlightened understanding of the Word of God through the Holy Spirit that dwells within us.
