INTRODUCTION - WHY THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN - Paperback Edition I wrote this booklet because of the many inquiries I have received from believers, some through letters and others through personal visits, all concerned about how to hear from God! I was surprised at the first time when some of the inquiries came from people I regarded as very mature Christians. Soon, I realized that this was one problem that actually cut across all cadres of believers, yet one problem that rarely received any attention in our various churches! No wonder people find it easier to say, "my pastor said...", rather than "The Lord said"! And so, when the pastor slips off, every one also derails with him, because none can make independent inquiries directly from the Lord. That is very much like the Israelites in the Wilderness who could only hear and quote Moses, but dared not interact with their God directly. In the process, they all perished for they knew not the ways of God! What a dangerous thing at this end-time for any believer to depend entirely on the pastor! It pained my heart the more when I realized that the Lord was actually speaking to many of these people, only that, like Samuel, they could not recognize His voice. All they needed therefore, was someone to direct them, just as Eli did to Samuel. And the Eli's of our time appear to be too busy with some other issues. If you are one of those who have been suffering in silence for so long on this issue of hearing from your Father in Heaven, you should now rejoice for your need will soon be met, by the Lord Himself, through this little treaties. May the Lord Jesus graciously bless you as you read. Amen.
