Lashan Rice Word Report

Oral Roberts discusses the importance of the voice of God through his testimonies. He shares that God speaks to everyone and not everyone can hear His voice. Oral shares seven reasons that he believes why God speaks to every person: God wants to communicate with man, man was created to communicate, the Bible is the evidence that God communicates with man directly, Jesus demonstrate how man can communicate with God, God will speak through the Holy Spirit, Oral’s parents taught him, and Oral himself heard the voice of God. Oral shares three things that God has spoken to him as an individual, but it will also impact other people: God called him “Son,” God told him what He was going to do for him, and “You

‘God really started talking to me and started showing me that you're totally wrong,” Pastor McClurkin said in a Facebook Live video. “Totally wrong.”

"God has revealed so much to me in these 3 days. So many great points I jotted down from sermons and messages and even songs that touched my heart. The sermons opened my heart. God has been seeking me my whole life, but daily things distracted me. But I've learned that no job or duty is more important than serving God."

Do what the bird's heart desires. The article "Under The Rice Moon" is about this sick girl who takes a bird into her house to take care of it. It was in the city of Hong Kong. She realizes that she can understand what the bird is thinking.The theme is to unselfishly make something or someone happy, than make a profit. Instead of the girl trading the bird for something better, she decided to let the bird go. It is like paying a ransom on an innocent person in jail so he or she can get out. That is a really kind thing to do, and could even benefit you.

The author of Under the Rice Moon uses the bird and the story’s character to express a theme. The theme of the story is related to the idea of freedom. Freedom is something that even an animal wishes to receive. The animal in the story is a bird who wants to be freed but no one understands him. The theme of the story is that freedom is valuable and cherished.

Once I finished my thought, I sat on the couch and waited for I response. What I received was a blank stare and a look of disbelief. He stated that he would lose me to God and he did not know how to deal with what I just said to him. He collected himself and stated that he would support me in this journey and would try not to pass judgment on what was taking place. He stated that he understood that I had to do the will of God and he could not stand in the way of my calling. He also stated that he was not sure how this journey would look or how he could help me study to become a better teacher and minster. I let him know that his support is all I need at the moment and there would be days I may need his should to lean and cry on.

This a great example how the Holy Spirit guides God's children to reach out to people. The pastor did not make the call. The Lord guided him to approach this person in that manner and the end result was returning to the Lord.

When I read the scripture it gave me hope that God had not given up on me, but be patient and trust Him.

After morning worship service I approached the Sunday School Superintendent, my exact words were “I am ready for God to use me and I want to be a teacher for Sunday School.” She looked at me and said “Okay, great you will have to start your training soon as possible so come to the church on Saturday at one o’clock in the afternoon.” I said “perfect”. When I got in the car I told my wife the good news, she said, “that’s great and if I can be any help let me know.” I told

Silence is often my best weapon when we are faced with critical conditions. Once again, I hung on to the promises of God and expected a miracle. God is so very faithful to His word, but at times I have to drawback to keep my faith ablaze. I pray as you read our story, it infuses you with faith and confidence in Christ. Regardless of the outcome, I know we are loved by God and He is in control.

God does not speak to me. Not even on the hill where Christ died. I am outside of God´s grace.

If we really believe, keep doing what he wants us to do, we will certainly hear the same affirmation that poor, but now so blessed man heard. “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in

Ans. The Spirit that spoke to the prophets in former days—and I was greatly astonished, and for two years prayed continually, whenever my duty would permit—and then again I had the same revelation, which fully confirmed me in the impression that I was ordained for some great purpose in the hands of the Almighty. Several years rolled round, in which many events occurred to strengthen me in this my belief. At this time I reverted in my mind to the remarks made of me in my childhood, and the things that had been shewn me—and as it had been said of me in my childhood by those by whom I had been taught to pray, both white and black, and in whom I had the greatest confidence, that I had too much sense to be raised, and if I was, I would never be of any use to any one as a slave. Now finding I had arrived to man’s estate, and was a slave, and these revelations being made known to me, I began to direct my attention to this great object, to fulfil the purpose for which, by this time, I felt assured I was intended.”

In recent years, God has become a very important part of my life. I am determined to learn more about God and look forward to seeing what he has in store for me and my family. At one time God was not a big part of my life, I did not attend church regularly or feel close to him. I have always believed in God and Jesus Christ as our savior, but did not actively seek a closer relationship with him. I feel that much of that changed when I accepted my current job in a church based preschool program. After taking the position in the preschool, I was then offered a position in the church’s nursery on Sunday mornings. I accepted this position also and my son and I started attending Church every Sunday. In the time since, my husband, myself, and our children have all joined the Church, been baptized, and become very active in our Church. I feel that this was God’s plan for us all along. I feel that God guides our decisions each and everyday, and I now use prayer to seek his guidance for our lives.

Sometimes God asks me to talk about a subject that He is still teaching me Himself. Usually it’s an area of my life that I know needs correction and talking about it will cause me to put myself in a place of vulnerability.
