The Bible records God speaking audibly to people many times (Exodus 3:14; Joshua 1:1; Judges 6:18; 1 Samuel 3:11; 2 Samuel 2:1; Job 40:1; Isaiah 7:3; Jeremiah 1:7; Acts 8:26; 9:15—this is just a small sampling). There is no biblical reason why God could not speak to a person audibly today. With the hundreds of times the Bible records God speaking, we have to remember that they occur over the course of 4,000 years of human history. God speaking audibly is the exception, not the rule. Even in the biblically recorded instances of God speaking, it is not always clear whether it was an audible voice, an inner voice, or a mental impression.
God does speak to people today. First, God speaks to us through His Word (2 Timothy 3:16–17). Isaiah 55:11 tells us, “So is my word that goes out from my mouth: it will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.” The Bible is God’s Word, and it contains everything we need to know in order to be saved and live the Christian life. Second Peter 1:3 declares, “His divine power has given us everything we need for life and godliness through our knowledge of Him who called us by his own glory and goodness.”
God can also “speak” to us through events—i.e., He can guide us through arranging our circumstances. And God helps us to discern right from wrong through our consciences (1 Timothy 1:5; 1 Peter 3:16). God is in the process of conforming our minds to think His thoughts (Romans 12:2). God allows events to occur in our lives to direct us, change us, and help us to grow spiritually (James 1:2–5; Hebrews 12:5–11). First Peter 1:6–7 reminds us, “In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.”
God may sometimes speak audibly to people. It is highly doubtful, though, that this occurs as often as some people claim it does. Again, even in the Bible, God speaking audibly is the exception, not the ordinary. If anyone claims that God has spoken to him or her, always compare what is said with what the Bible says. If God were to speak today, His words would be in full agreement with what He has said in the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16–17). God does not contradict Himself.
Die Bybel teken aan dat God baie keer hoorbaar met mense gepraat het (Eksodus 3:14; Josua 1:1; Rigters 6:18; 1 Samuel 3:11; 2 Samuel 2:1; Job 40:1; Jesaja 7:3; Jeremia 1:7; Handelinge 8:26; 9:15 – dit is slegs ‘n klein voorbeeld). Daar is geen Bybelse rede waarom God nie vandag hoorbaar met ‘n persoon kon praat nie. Met die honderde kere wat die Bybel God se spraak aandui, moet ons onthou dat dit oor die verloop van 4 000 jaar van die menslike geskiedenis plaasvind. God se spraak hoorbaar is die uitsondering, nie die reël nie. Selfs in die Bybels opgetekende gevalle van God se spraak, is dit nie altyd duidelik of dit ‘n hoorbare stem, ‘n innerlike stem of ‘n geestelike indruk was nie.
God praat vandag wel met mense. Eerstens praat God met ons deur Sy Woord (2 Timoteus 3:16–17). Jesaja 55:11 sê vir ons: “So is die woord wat uit my mond uitgaan: dit sal nie leeg na My terugkeer nie, maar dit sal volbring wat Ek wil hê en tot stand bring waarvoor Ek dit gestuur het.” Die Bybel is God se Woord, en dit bevat alles wat ons moet weet om gered te word en die Christelike lewe te lei. Twee Petrus 1:3 verklaar: “Sy goddelike krag het ons alles gegee wat ons nodig het vir die lewe en godsvrug, deurdat ons Hom ken wat ons geroep het deur sy heerlikheid en goedheid.”
God kan ook met ons “praat” deur gebeure – d.w.s. Hy kan ons lei deur ons omstandighede te reël. En God help ons om reg van verkeerd te onderskei deur ons gewete (1 Timoteus 1:5; 1 Petrus 3:16). God is besig om ons gedagtes te vorm om Sy gedagtes te dink (Romeine 12:2). God laat gebeure in ons lewens plaasvind om ons te rig, te verander en ons te help om geestelik te groei (Jakobus 1:2–5; Hebreërs 12:5–11). I Petrus 1:6–7 herinner ons: “Verbly julle hierin, al ly julle nou net ’n kort tydjie in allerhande beproewinge. Dit het gebeur sodat julle geloof, wat baie werd is as goud wat vergaan al word dit deur vuur gelouter, egtheid kan bewys en tot lof, heerlikheid en eer kan lei wanneer Jesus Christus geopenbaar word.”
God mag soms hoorbaar met mense praat. Dit is egter hoogs twyfelagtig dat dit so gereeld gebeur as wat sommige mense beweer. Selfs in die Bybel is God wat hoorbaar praat die uitsondering, nie die gewone nie. As iemand beweer dat God met hom of haar gepraat het, vergelyk altyd wat gesê word met wat die Bybel sê. As God vandag sou praat, sou Sy woorde ten volle ooreenstem met wat Hy in die Bybel gesê het (2 Timoteus 3:16–17). God weerspreek Homself nie.
Bible Verse and Prayer for Today
James 1:12: “Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him”.
This verse offers encouragement during difficult times, assuring readers that those who endure challenges will be rewarded. The message emphasizes the importance of perseverance and the promise of a future reward for those who remain faithful despite hardships.

Bybel Vers en Gebed vir Vandag
Jakobus 1:12: “Geseënd is die een wat in versoeking volhard, want nadat hy die toets deurstaan het, sal hy die kroon van die lewe ontvang wat die Here belowe het aan die wat Hom liefhet.”
Hierdie vers bied bemoediging gedurende moeilike tye en verseker lesers dat diegene wat uitdagings verduur, beloon sal word. Die boodskap beklemtoon die belangrikheid van volharding en die belofte van ‘n toekomstige beloning vir diegene wat getrou bly ten spyte van ontberinge.
Gebed
Here. Ek weet U is altyd met my, en dat U met my is ten spyte van swaarkry. Nee, U hou my eintlik in U arms gedurende tye van swaarkry. Dankie Here in Jesus se Naam. Amen en AMEN.
Bible Teaching of the Day
Life is full of decisions that do not have absolute, specific-by-name, how-to directions in the Bible. How many hours a day should my kids spend on screens? Is it okay to play certain video games? Am I allowed to go on a date with a coworker ? Is it okay to miss work because I stayed up too late the night before? We all have notions about the truth, but how do we know for sure that these ideas are coming from God? Am I hearing God? Or am I only hearing myself? Worse yet, am I hearing the temptations of Satan disguised as the leading of the Holy Spirit? Sometimes distinguishing our own ideas from God’s leading is difficult. And what if our urges are actually coming from the enemy of our souls and not from God? How do we “take every thought captive” (2 Corinthians 10:5) when we aren’t sure where the thoughts are coming from?
Most commonly, God communicates through the Bible, His inspired Word, preserved through the centuries for us today. It is through the Word that we are sanctified (John 17:17), and the Word is the light for our path (Psalm 119:105). God can also guide us through circumstances (2 Corinthians 2:12), the promptings of the Spirit (Galatians 5:16), and godly mentors providing wise counsel (Proverbs 12:15). If God wants to speak to us, nothing can stop Him. Here are some ways to discern the source of our thoughts:
Pray
If we are confused about whether or not we are hearing God, it is good to pray for wisdom (James 1:5). (It’s good to pray for wisdom even when we don’t think we’re confused!) We should ask God to make His will known to us clearly. When we pray, we “must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind” (James 1:6). If we have no faith, we “should not expect to receive anything from the Lord” (James 1:7).
Talk to God in prayer and earnestly wait for His answer. However, keep in mind that God doesn’t give us everything we desire, and sometimes His answer is, “No.” He knows what we need at any given time, and He will show us what is best. If God says, “No,” then we can thank Him for the clarity of His direction and move on from there.
Study the Word
The Bible is called “God’s Word” for a reason—it is the primary way God speaks to us. It is also the way we learn about God’s character and His dealings with people throughout history. All Scripture is “breathed out by God” and is the guide for a righteous life (2 Timothy 3:16–17). While we speak to God in prayer, He speaks to us through His Word. As we read, we must consider the words of the Bible to be the very words of God.
Any thought, desire, inclination, or urge we may have must be brought to the Word of God for comparison and approval. Let the Bible be the judge of every thought. “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart” (Hebrews 4:12). No matter how urgent the urge, if it goes against what Scripture says, then it is not of God and must be rejected.
Follow the Holy Spirit’s Leading
The Holy Spirit is God—a divine Being with a mind, emotions, and will. He is always with us (Psalm 139:7–8). His purposes include interceding for us (Romans 8:26–27) and giving gifts to benefit the church (1 Corinthians 12:7–11).
The Holy Spirit wills to fill us (Ephesians 5:18) and produce in us His fruit (Galatians 5:22–25). No matter what decisions we’re making day to day, we can’t go wrong when we exhibit love, joy, peace, etc., to the glory of God. When we have a random thought pop into our heads, we must learn to “test the spirits” (1 John 4:1). Will following this inclination lead to more Christlikeness? Will dwelling on this thought produce more of the fruit of the Spirit in me? The Holy Spirit will never lead us to gratify the sinful desires of the flesh (Galatians 5:16); He will always lead us toward sanctification (1 Peter 1:2). Life on earth is a spiritual battle. The enemy is eager to supply diversions to distract us from God’s will (1 Peter 5:8). We must be vigilant to ensure that what we heed is more than a feeling but is truly from God Himself.
Remember, God wants to show us the right path to take. He’s not in the business of hiding His will from those who seek Him.
Here are some good questions to ask as we examine whether or not we are hearing God: Are the promptings confusing or vague? God is not the author of confusion; He is the bringer of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33). Do the thoughts go against God’s Word? God will not contradict Himself. Will following these promptings lead to sin? Those who “keep in step with the Spirit” have “crucified the flesh with its passions and desires” (Galatians 5:24–25).
In addition, it is good to seek counsel from a Christian friend, family member, or pastor (Proverbs 15:22). Our pastors are there to help shepherd us: “Have confidence in your leaders and submit to their authority, because they keep watch over you as those who must give an account” (Hebrews 13:17).
God does not want us to fail. The more we listen to God, the better we will be at distinguishing His voice from the other noises in our heads. Jesus, the Good Shepherd, gives His promise: “He goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice” (John 10:4). Others may speak, “but the sheep [do] not listen to them” (verse 8). The better we know our Shepherd, the less we have to worry about heeding the wrong voice.
Bybel Lering vir die Dag
Die lewe is vol besluite wat nie absolute, spesifieke-by-naam, hoe-om-aanwysings in die Bybel het nie. Hoeveel uur per dag moet my kinders op skerms deurbring? Is dit reg om sekere videospeletjies te speel? Mag ek op ‘n afspraak met ‘n kollega gaan? Is dit reg om werk te mis omdat ek die vorige aand te laat opgebly het? Ons almal het idees oor die waarheid, maar hoe weet ons seker dat hierdie idees van God af kom? Hoor ek God? Of hoor ek net myself? Nog erger, hoor ek die versoekings van Satan vermom as die leiding van die Heilige Gees? Soms is dit moeilik om ons eie idees van God se leiding te onderskei. En wat as ons drange eintlik van die vyand van ons siele kom en nie van God nie? Hoe “neem ons elke gedagte gevange” (2 Korintiërs 10:5) wanneer ons nie seker is waar die gedagtes vandaan kom nie?
Meestal kommunikeer God deur die Bybel, Sy geïnspireerde Woord, wat deur die eeue heen vir ons vandag bewaar is. Dit is deur die Woord dat ons geheilig word (Johannes 17:17), en die Woord is die lig vir ons pad (Psalm 119:105). God kan ons ook deur omstandighede lei (2 Korintiërs 2:12), die aansporings van die Gees (Galasiërs 5:16), en godvrugtige mentors wat wyse raad gee (Spreuke 12:15). As God met ons wil praat, kan niks Hom keer nie. Hier is ‘n paar maniere om die bron van ons gedagtes te onderskei:
Bid
As ons verward is oor of ons God hoor of nie, is dit goed om vir wysheid te bid (Jakobus 1:5). (Dit is goed om vir wysheid te bid selfs wanneer ons nie dink ons is verward nie!) Ons moet God vra om Sy wil duidelik aan ons bekend te maak. Wanneer ons bid, moet ons “glo en nie twyfel nie, want die twyfelende is soos ‘n golf van die see wat deur die wind gewaai en voortgesweep word” (Jakobus 1:6). As ons geen geloof het nie, “moet ons niks van die Here verwag nie” (Jakobus 1:7).
Praat met God in gebed en wag ernstig op Sy antwoord. Hou egter in gedagte dat God ons nie alles gee wat ons begeer nie, en soms is Sy antwoord: “Nee.” Hy weet wat ons op enige gegewe tydstip nodig het, en Hy sal ons wys wat die beste is. As God sê: “Nee,” dan kan ons Hom dank vir die duidelikheid van Sy leiding en van daar af aanbeweeg.
Bestudeer die Woord
Die Bybel word om ‘n rede “God se Woord” genoem – dit is die primêre manier waarop God met ons praat. Dit is ook die manier waarop ons leer oor God se karakter en Sy handelinge met mense deur die geskiedenis. Die hele Skrif is “deur God uitgeblaas” en is die gids vir ‘n regverdige lewe (2 Timoteus 3:16-17). Terwyl ons met God in gebed praat, praat Hy met ons deur Sy Woord. Terwyl ons lees, moet ons die woorde van die Bybel as die woorde van God beskou.
Enige gedagte, begeerte, neiging of drang wat ons mag hê, moet na die Woord van God gebring word vir vergelyking en goedkeuring. Laat die Bybel die beoordelaar van elke gedagte wees. “Want die woord van God is lewend en kragtig en skerper as enige tweesnydende swaard en dring deur tot die skeiding van siel en gees, gewrigte en murg; dit beoordeel die gedagtes en gesindhede van die hart” (Hebreërs 4:12). Maak nie saak hoe dringend die drang is nie, as dit teen die Skrif indruis, dan is dit nie van God nie en moet dit verwerp word.
Volg die Heilige Gees se leiding
Die Heilige Gees is God—’n goddelike Wese met ’n verstand, emosies en wil. Hy is altyd met ons (Psalm 139:7–8). Sy doeleindes sluit in om vir ons in te tree (Romeine 8:26–27) en gawes te gee tot voordeel van die kerk (1 Korintiërs 12:7–11).
Die Heilige Gees wil ons vul (Efesiërs 5:18) en in ons Sy vrugte voortbring (Galasiërs 5:22–25). Maak nie saak watter besluite ons daagliks neem nie, ons kan nie verkeerd gaan wanneer ons liefde, vreugde, vrede, ens. tot eer van God toon nie. Wanneer ‘n lukrake gedagte in ons koppe opduik, moet ons leer om “die geeste te toets” (1 Johannes 4:1). Sal die nakoming van hierdie neiging lei tot meer Christus-gelykvormigheid? Sal die stilstaan by hierdie gedagte meer van die vrug van die Gees in my voortbring? Die Heilige Gees sal ons nooit lei om die sondige begeertes van die vlees te bevredig nie (Galasiërs 5:16); Hy sal ons altyd na heiligmaking lei (1 Petrus 1:2). Die lewe op aarde is ‘n geestelike stryd. Die vyand is gretig om afleidings te verskaf om ons van God se wil af te lei (1 Petrus 5:8). Ons moet waaksaam wees om te verseker dat wat ons ag slaan meer as ‘n gevoel is, maar werklik van God self afkomstig is.
Onthou, God wil ons die regte pad wys om te neem. Hy is nie besig om Sy wil weg te steek vir diegene wat Hom soek nie.
Hier is ‘n paar goeie vrae om te vra terwyl ons ondersoek of ons God hoor of nie: Is die aansporings verwarrend of vaag? God is nie die outeur van verwarring nie; Hy is die bringer van vrede (1 Korintiërs 14:33). Gaan die gedagtes teen God se Woord in? God sal Homself nie weerspreek nie. Sal die nakoming van hierdie aansporings tot sonde lei? Diegene wat “in pas bly met die Gees” het “die vlees met sy hartstogte en begeerlikhede gekruisig” (Galasiërs 5:24–25).
Daarbenewens is dit goed om raad te soek by ‘n Christenvriend, familielid of pastoor (Spreuke 15:22). Ons pastore is daar om ons te help om te lei: “Vertrou julle leiers en onderdanig te wees aan hulle gesag, want hulle waak oor julle as diegene wat rekenskap moet gee” (Hebreërs 13:17).
God wil nie hê ons moet faal nie. Hoe meer ons na God luister, hoe beter sal ons Sy stem kan onderskei van die ander geluide in ons koppe. Jesus, die Goeie Herder, gee Sy belofte: “Hy loop voor hulle uit, en sy skape volg Hom, omdat hulle sy stem ken” (Johannes 10:4). Ander mag praat, “maar die skape luister nie na hulle nie” (vers 8). Hoe beter ons ons Herder ken, hoe minder hoef ons ons daaroor te bekommer dat ons na die verkeerde stem luister.
Today’s Devotional
Isaiah 55:10–11 says, “As the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, . . . So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void” (KJV). The word void means “empty.” The remainder of verse 11 explains what it means to “not return void,” saying that God’s Word “will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.”
Rain and snow are part of a cyclical water process. Precipitation comes upon the earth, drains into the land, and produces great benefit in the growth of crops, the refreshment of souls, and the sustaining of life. Rain and snow come from above and do not return back above without accomplishing their purpose. God compares His Word to the rain and snow because, like the precipitation, God’s Word always fulfills His good purposes.
When God says that His Word will not return to Him void, we can know that He has an intention for His Word. God’s Word is from above. He “breathed out” His words to us, and they were recorded in the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16). Every word He gave humanity is purposeful and was given for a reason. Like the rain and snow, God’s words bring forth life (John 6:63) and produce good fruit in our lives. Through His Word, we know that God loves us and that Jesus died to free us from sin and death; we also learn how to live in light of those truths.
When God says that His Word will not return to Him void, we are encouraged to abide in His Word, allowing it to absorb into our lives, soaking it up as the ground soaks up the rain and snow. The truth will not return void as our hearts are changed. God’s Word rebukes us and corrects us when we are wrong, and it trains us in godly living (2 Timothy 3:16–17). His Word is a light guiding us in this dark world (Psalm 119:105). It is relevant to every pressing and practical problem. God’s Word will always accomplish what He desires, whether it is teaching, correcting, training, leading us to Him, revealing our sin, or some other good and profitable end.
When God says that His Word will not return to Him void, we understand that God is sovereign. The promise is that God’s Word will accomplish what He wants it to, not necessarily what we want it to. We may share the Word with the purpose of changing someone’s mind—and the person’s mind doesn’t change. Was God’s Word void? No, but our personal goals may have been different from God’s. Like the wind that “blows wherever it pleases,” the Holy Spirit moves in mysterious ways (John 3:8). And God may use His Word in surprising ways, at surprising times, and in surprising people. We can’t predict exactly how God will use His Word any more than meteorologists can predict with certitude the rainfall and snowfall.
God’s Word will not return void. It is too powerful. When God said, “Let there be light,” the immediate result was that “there was light” (Genesis 1:3). When Jesus said, “Peace! Be still!” the wind ceased and the sea calmed (Mark 4:39). God’s Word will always prosper; God will succeed, and those who receive His Word will be overcomers as well (1 John 5:4).
Vandag se Bemoediging
Jesaja 55:10–11 sê: “Soos die reën neerdaal en die sneeu uit die hemel, … so sal my woord wees wat uit my mond uitgaan: dit sal nie leeg na My terugkeer nie” (OAV). Die woord leeg beteken “leeg”. Die res van vers 11 verduidelik wat dit beteken om “nie leeg terug te keer nie”, en sê dat God se Woord “sal volbring wat Ek begeer en die doel bereik waarvoor Ek dit gestuur het.”
Reën en sneeu is deel van ‘n sikliese waterproses. Neerslag kom op die aarde, dreineer in die land en lewer groot voordeel in die groei van gewasse, die verkwikking van siele en die onderhouding van die lewe. Reën en sneeu kom van bo en keer nie terug boontoe sonder om hul doel te bereik nie. God vergelyk Sy Woord met die reën en sneeu, want soos die neerslag, vervul God se Woord altyd Sy goeie doeleindes.
Wanneer God sê dat Sy Woord nie leeg na Hom sal terugkeer nie, kan ons weet dat Hy ‘n bedoeling vir Sy Woord het. God se Woord is van bo. Hy het Sy woorde aan ons “uitgeblaas”, en hulle is in die Bybel opgeteken (2 Timoteus 3:16). Elke woord wat Hy aan die mensdom gegee het, is doelgerig en is met ‘n rede gegee. Soos die reën en sneeu, bring God se woorde lewe voort (Johannes 6:63) en dra goeie vrugte in ons lewens. Deur Sy Woord weet ons dat God ons liefhet en dat Jesus gesterf het om ons van sonde en dood te bevry; ons leer ook hoe om in die lig van daardie waarhede te leef.
Wanneer God sê dat Sy Woord nie leeg na Hom sal terugkeer nie, word ons aangemoedig om in Sy Woord te bly, dit toe te laat om in ons lewens te absorbeer en dit op te neem soos die grond die reën en sneeu opsuig. Die waarheid sal nie leeg terugkeer soos ons harte verander word nie. God se Woord bestraf ons en korrigeer ons wanneer ons verkeerd is, en dit lei ons op in godvrugtige lewe (2 Timoteus 3:16–17). Sy Woord is ‘n lig wat ons in hierdie donker wêreld lei (Psalm 119:105). Dit is relevant vir elke dringende en praktiese probleem. God se Woord sal altyd bereik wat Hy begeer, of dit nou onderrig, regstel, opleiding, ons na Hom lei, ons sonde openbaar, of ‘n ander goeie en winsgewende doel is.
Wanneer God sê dat Sy Woord nie leeg na Hom sal terugkeer nie, verstaan ons dat God soewerein is. Die belofte is dat God se Woord sal bereik wat Hy wil hê dit moet doen, nie noodwendig wat ons wil hê dit moet doen nie. Ons mag die Woord deel met die doel om iemand se gedagtes te verander – en die persoon se gedagtes verander nie. Was God se Woord leeg? Nee, maar ons persoonlike doelwitte kon anders gewees het as God s’n. Soos die wind wat “waai waar Hy wil,” beweeg die Heilige Gees op geheimsinnige maniere (Johannes 3:8). En God mag Sy Woord op verrassende maniere, op verrassende tye en op ‘n verrassende manier gebruik. Ons kan nie presies voorspel hoe God Sy Woord sal gebruik nie, net so min as wat weerkundiges met sekerheid die reënval en sneeuval kan voorspel.
God se Woord sal nie leeg terugkeer nie. Dit is te kragtig. Toe God gesê het: “Laat daar lig wees,” was die onmiddellike gevolg dat “daar lig was” (Genesis 1:3). Toe Jesus sê: “Vrede! Wees stil!” het die wind gaan lê en die see het bedaar (Markus 4:39). God se Woord sal altyd voorspoedig wees; God sal slaag, en diegene wat Sy Woord ontvang, sal ook oorwinnaars wees (1 Johannes 5:4).

Neem Die Medisyne:
Stel jouself voor dat jy word na die hospitaal toe gejaag, waar ‘n dokter jou ondersoek en jou inlig dat jy kritiek siek is. Hy sê jy sal sterf tensy jy behoorlike behandeling kry. Hy skryf dan medisyne voor en sê: As jy dit neem, kan ek jou met absolute sekerheid verseker dat jy gesond sal word ? Moet jy net daar op jou siekbed lê en glo dat die dokter jou siekte korrek gediagnoseer het, en dat die voorskrif jou sekerlik gesond sal maak? Nee, dis nie genoeg nie. Om te lewe, moet jy die medisyne neem.
Dis dieselfde met verlossing. Jy mag alles glo wat die Bybel oor Christus sê – dat Hy vir jou sondes gesterf het en uit die dood opgestaan het. Maar as jy weier om Hom te neem – dit wil sê, om Hom en Sy werk aan die kruis namens jou te vertrou – sal jy net so verlore wees asof jy Jesus openlik verloën het.
Reddende geloof, sien jy, is nie bloot om te erken dat sekere feite oor Christus waar is nie. Dit is om uit te reik om God se middel vir sonde persoonlik te aanvaar. Dit is om die bestemming van jou siel vir ewig aan Hom toe te vertrou. Dit sê: Red my, Here Jesus. Ek glo dat U kan en sal. Dis om die medisyne te neem – dis om Jesus Christus te ontvang. Het jy dit al gedoen ? Indien nie, doen dit nou dadelik.
Geloof is nie net om te glo dat Jesus kan red nie, dis om Hom te vra om dit te doen.
Take This Medicine:
Imagine yourself being rushed to the hospital, where a doctor examines you and informs you that you are critically ill. He says you will die unless you get proper treatment. He then prescribes medicine and says, If you take this, can I assure you with absolute certainty that you will get well? Should you just lie there on your sickbed and believe that the doctor has correctly diagnosed your illness, and that the prescription will surely make you well? No, that is not enough. To live, you must take the medicine.
It is the same with salvation. You may believe everything the Bible says about Christ—that He died for your sins and rose from the dead. But if you refuse to take Him—that is, to trust Him and His work on the cross in your behalf—you will be just as lost as if you had openly denied Jesus.
Saving faith, you see, is not simply acknowledging that certain facts about Christ are true. It is reaching out to personally accept God’s remedy for sin. It is entrusting the destiny of your soul to Him forever. It says, Save me, Lord Jesus. I believe that You can and will. It is taking the medicine—it is receiving Jesus Christ. Have you done it yet? If not, do it now.
Faith is not just believing that Jesus can save, it is asking Him to do it.

Bible Prophecy in the News
Sovereignty Over Judea and Samaria Will Not Be Decided by the UAE
It has now been reported that the UAE has warned Israel that applying sovereignty to parts of Judea and Samaria is a “red line” that would end regional integration. But Israel’s survival, sovereignty, and Jewish destiny are not up for negotiation.
Signs of the Times
IDF Targets Hamas Terrorists in Doha, Qatar
Those targeted had for years directed the Palestinian terror group’s operations, were directly responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre and have been managing the ongoing war against Israel, according to an IDF statement.
The Israel Defense Forces and Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) on Tuesday carried out a targeted strike against senior members of Hamas’s leadership in Doha, Qatar.
Those targeted had for years directed the Palestinian terror group’s operations, were directly responsible for the Oct. 7, 2023, massacre and have been managing the ongoing war against Israel, according to an IDF statement.
The military said measures were taken to minimize civilian casualties, including the use of precision munitions. It added that efforts would continue with determination to defeat Hamas.
“Today’s action against the top terrorist chieftains of Hamas was a wholly independent Israeli operation,” according to a statement from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office. “Israel initiated it, Israel conducted it, and Israel takes full responsibility.”
Yitzhak Wasserlauf, Israel’s minister for the development of the periphery, the Negev and the Galilee, told JNS that Jerusalem has demonstrated throughout the war its ability to eliminate its enemies.
“The message here is important—the Jewish people do not forget, and our foes are not protected anywhere and at any time,” he said.
“The next step is to continue the planned operation to occupy Gaza [City], which will lead to the defeat of Hamas and the release of all the hostages,” he added.
According to a report in Saudi-owned Al-Arabiya, top Hamas negotiator Khalil al-Hayya was killed in the strike.
Other Hamas leaders abroad known to be based in Qatar include Khaled Mashaal, Zaher Jabarin, Mohammad Ismail Darwish, Mousa Abu Marzouk, Hussam Badran and Tahar Anunu.
“We are awaiting the results of the attack. There was a consensus in the political and security leadership,” a senior Israeli official told Channel.
Ten explosions were reportedly heard and heavy smoke was seen in the area of Hamas’s local headquarters. According to Arab reports, Hamas’s negotiating team had gathered to discuss an American proposal for the return of hostages and a ceasefire in Gaza.
The Qatar Foreign Ministry condemned the strike.
“The State of Qatar strongly condemns the cowardly Israeli attack that targeted residential buildings housing several members of the Political Bureau of Hamas in the Qatari capital,” wrote Majed Al Ansari, adviser to the prime minister and official spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry. “This criminal assault constitutes a blatant violation of all international laws and norms, and poses a serious threat to the security and safety of Qataris and residents in Qatar.”
Israel reportedly named the operation “Judgement Gathering” and got a greenlight from the Trump administration.
“The party’s over,” Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism Amichai Chikli told JNS.
“The terror architects of the horrific massacre of innocents on October 7th, feasting in luxury hotels after inflicting unprecedented disaster upon their own people, are finally meeting justice,” he said.
“And a word to the Qatari crime family: those who sleep with dogs should not complain when they wake up with fleas,” he added.
Gog and Magog Update
Netanyahu ordered planned strike on Hamas leaders in Doha following Jerusalem shooting attackScene of terrorist shooting attack in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood,
Israeli officials said the decision to target Hamas leaders in Qatar had been made well in advance, with planning for the operation unfolding over two to three months and gaining momentum in recent weeks.
The deadly Hamas shooting in Jerusalem that killed 6 people on Monday and injured dozens gave the impetus for Israel’s targeted strike on Hamas leaders in Doha on Tuesday.
Although the operation had taken months of planning, the inciting incident was a terror attack, as indicated by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s statement.
In a joint statement released on Tuesday evening, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Israel Katz stated that the airstrike followed intelligence consultations and was carried out with full authorization from the country’s top security officials.
“After the murderous attacks in Jerusalem and Gaza, the Prime Minister instructed all security agencies to prepare for action against Hamas leadership,” the statement said. “This afternoon, based on an operational opportunity, and following discussions with security establishment heads, the decision was made to carry out the directive.”
According to the statement, the Israeli leadership believed the strike was justified given Hamas’s ongoing role in planning attacks and its central involvement in the October 7 assault on Israeli communities.
The airstrike reportedly targeted top Hamas figures, including Khaled Mashal, Khalil al-Hayya, Zaher Jabarin, and Nizar Awadallah. Saudi-based Al Hadath reported the men were killed in the strike, while Al Jazeera cited a Hamas source claiming they survived.

The strike, known as Operation Summit of Fire, was approved in secret by the security cabinet.
To ensure the mission’s success, fighter jets dropped 10 bombs. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu oversaw the operation from Shin Bet headquarters and, while the plan had been in place, said he gave the final order following Monday’s terrorist attack.
