Have you ever heard God speaking to you? Whether you have, or you haven’t, I think you’d like to hear this amazing story…

At the recent International Convention of the Familia de Dios in Seattle, the Rev. Francisco Zuniga shared this:

Around 20 years ago, when visiting Seattle from Chile, he was struggling with a major decision.

As he visited a church where his daughter and son-in-law, my mother, and my husband and I attended, something awesome happened…

During the worship service, Bro. Francisco was standing somewhere in proximity to my mother. He didn’t speak any English, and my mother, didn’t speak a lick of Spanish. However, all of a sudden, while she was worshipping, he heard her speak clearly IN PURE AND PERFECT SPANISH: “What you are thinking of, do it!”

A seasoned man of God, he knew immediately that the Lord God was speaking an answer directly to him. He made his decision, went back to Chile and put the vision that was in his heart into action. Over the next two decades through prayer, hard work, perseverance, and the blessing of God Almighty, he trained and raised up hundreds of passionate men and women, young people and adults, who have, in turn, taken the Gospel of Jesus Christ and spread the Good News to multiple nations, including Chile and the United States, but also to several others.

As this gentle servant of God looked over this international convention with tears of joy…he smiled at my elderly mother seated in the back row – a woman who had spoken the message God had given her, in a tongue she didn’t understand, 20 years ago!

This testimony, and a million others like it, verify that God speaks to mankind, and speaks to us as individuals. I know He has been so kind to speak to me so many times.

So, the question isn’t “Does God speak to us?” but “Are we listening?”
