Stucco,<br>I would alse have difficulty believing in the lady's audible voice account. God does speak to us through His Word.<br>God has spoken to me very specifically through his Word at times. One such time was when someone, a family member had spead a very destructive lie about me and I was very wounded. I was reading the Bible late one night and felt that God was telling me "There is something on this page for you." I kept reading and found nothing and was thinking, "No there isn't" and then there it was!<br><blockquote>Proverbs 6: 16 There are six things that the Lord hates,<br>seven that are an abomination to him:<br>17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue,<br>and hands that shed innocent blood,<br>18 a heart that devises wicked plans,<br>feet that make haste to run to evil,<br>19 a false witness who breathes out lies,<br>and one who sows discord among brothers.</blockquote><br><br>I was very comforted by those words in Proverbs. I'm sure many others have had similar experiences to that. That is not the only time something like that has happened to me. But something even more unusual did happen once. I'm not a Charismatic, but almost 17 years ago I am convinced that 'God spoke to me". I was quite ill and I was crippled by a strange immune system disease. I was unable to sleep and in a lot of pain and was very afraid because I kept getting worse and was unable to walk except with much difficulty, holding on to a cane. I was going to go to a specialist the next day. I am certain that the Lord 'spoke to me' that night. I felt a great peace and stillness and I sensed that God was telling me in a very clear way but not audibly, "I will be with you." And I know that He was with me. The next day was the most painful day of all, but those words helped me trememdously. After that I gradually started to improve until I was finally in full remission. All thanks and praise to our merciful God! <br>Neither of these two things added to or took away from the Word of God, so I believe that God did really speak to me through those two experiences. <br><br><br>Susan<br><br>
