God is not silent. He has a message He knows we cannot live without. He is speaking through His Word, His Son, and His Spirit. He speaks through His creation and in all His glorious attributes, with clarity and majesty. His message may be denied, but He will not let it be ignored. In His sovereign love and grace, He provides the most important message the human family ever encounters. The message is clear, and our eternal destiny is determined by our attention to it. He still speaks.

The world we live in today is driven by communication. It’s never been so easy to hear from family and friends. Media sources can be accessed almost immediately. We read, hear, and consume more information than generations before us would’ve ever thought possible. We can hear any voice we desire to hear instantly. Why is there such a struggle to hear from God? Does the God who created the universe still speak to us today? And if so, why can’t we hear what He’s saying? He still speaks, and He’s provided everything we need to learn to hear Him.

He Still Speaks, Now Listen is a compilation of parables that focus on your inner being. It is from there you will be shown the real you from chapter to chapter, and page to page There will come a time in your life that you must comprehend questions such as What is life?

He Still Speaks, Now Listen answers these questions and the ones that have entered your mind.

Does God still speak to His children? I know that God still speaks to His children. It just takes listening and being aware of our surroundings, to recognize the little things that seem to tug at our hearts. I decided that I wanted to share the lessons that I received from God through some very unusual items and from meditating on God's Word. I wanted others to know that God does speak to them. The parables, as I like to call them, came to me through random items, at random time, and in random places. Lessons came through everyday life, whether I was walking, doing housework, playing, or just relaxing. Some lessons came in the morning, some at midday, and some at night. God is always talking. Take a little time each day to spend special time with God. Cast your cares on Him. Make your petitions known to Him. Once you have poured your whole heart out, just listen. Enjoy the time with Him, knowing He is with you. It doesn't take intelligence. It doesn't take being perfect, doing everything right. Sometimes we can try too hard to hear God, but when we just walk with Him, just enjoy His presence, we then start to hear His voice. All you have to do is take the time with Him. So grab yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy the parables of today.

I remember a time in my earlier days, when problems would arise, I would be scared, confused, and needing answers, so I would run to God. I knew He could solve any problem I had, so I would chase Him hard, reading His Word, going to church, praying, and being mindful of Him all day long. Well, once my problem was solved, once the waters calmed down in my life, I went right back to barely even thinking about God. I would go about my days, months, and sometimes, even years without really even acknowledging God at all in my life. I believed in God and I even loved God at some level, but He wasn't a big part of my life. Again, something would happen in my life, another problem, another heartache, another crisis. And what did I do? I ran to God! What does this have to do with discarded empty bottles? You will find the conclusion of this little writing nestled within the pages of this book. While out for my morning walk the other day, I was talking to God about comprehending His love for me in my heart and not just my head. I know when I reveal my prayer to you I will expose my weaknesses in faith, but here it is, my prayer that morning. "Lord, I need you to help me grasp your love for me. I need to know who you are to me and who I am in you. I need you to manifest yourself to me. I am fighting this fight of faith, but sometimes, I just want to feel your presence in such a way it would be as if my heart swells with your love, to recognize every day of my life." I walk on, the fog is so thick, and I look ahead and can barely see anything. I glance back, the same thing. I hear God speak. What did He say? Find out in this book, He still speaks in parables and revelations.

This book is a compilation of messages meant to awaken the church in these last days. Our crafty enemy has gone tactical. He no longer uses conventional weapons against us. His new found strategy, is to divide us from within. To defeat him, we must take a cue from the words of the Baptist. “He must increase, but I must decrease.” (John 3:30)
