READ: 1 Kings 19:9-18
“…I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:” – Acts 26:19
Many people do not respect the visions they see. Many have had dreams, which they took no notice of. Paul said, “I was obedient to the heavenly vision.”
One night, God spoke to me and told me, “Respect your dreams from today.”
I responded, “But Lord, I don’t have spectacular dreams!”
The Lord told me to look in the book of Daniel. So I opened my Bible and He showed me that even King Nebuchadnezzar, an unbeliever, respected his dreams greatly. As a result, he was able to receive an instruction from the Lord.
Nebuchadnezzar’s dream revealed a mighty tree being cut down. If you had a dream in which you just saw a tree being cut down, would you take much notice of it? Probably not! You may take more notice of a dream in which cows were chasing you, birds were flying, and snakes were appearing all over the place!
How did Elijah experience the supernatural voice of God? What did Elijah experience? He experienced the still small voice of God. When God spoke to him, it was not through the wind, the earthquake or the fire. God spoke to him through a still small voice.
The supernatural is real, even if it is not spectacular.
