HEARING FROM GOD

"Simon Peter answered and said, 'You are the Christ, the Son of the living God..'" "Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it'" (Matthew 16:16-18 NKJV). We know that Peter failed at times, but he also had a real and meaningful connection to the Lord. God revealed to him that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah. When we come to understand spiritual truth, we have heard from God. God Himself has spoken words of life and love to us. This is a big deal.
