Often people say: �the Lord spoke to me� or �the Lord revealed to me�. And I would think: �What a bunch of attention seekers�. Until recently I had never actually heard the Lord speak to me. People who hear voices? Well!

“The Lord has revealed to me how to read the Bible.”

Then a friend gave me a book to read, Giving Thanks, the Art of Tithing by Paula Langguth Ryan. It is a thought-provoking read which I think infused my spirit with a whole new mindset.

I am a regular Sunday church-goer and meet my Christian obligations fairly well.

But then something was revealed and demonstrated to me. I don�t know how. It�s never happened before. I never heard a voice.

To receive a television picture message, it must be switched on. If not, the message will be in the television, but you will not hear it. Everyone has a television set, but that fact does not mean that everyone will hear its message. People have to first switch on the power to that television set. I had failed to switch on the power to God.

So how is this power switched on? Going to church gets you in the presence

of God�s message, but the channel is still off. The Lord has revealed to me how to read the Bible.

My power to Jesus has been switched on by a receptive heart, prayer, daily reading and referencing my Bible as well as daily devotionals. Now I receive those abundant gifts I had denied myself.

It took 60 years, but finally I am switched on to the power of God!
