Have you ever HEARD from God?

1999 Gallup Poll

What percent of all Americans had heard a voice or seen a vision in response to prayer?

23%

These experiences were brief: at the most, a few words or short sentences. They were rare. Those who reported them reported no more than a few of them, if that. These experiences were not distressing, although they were often disconcerting and always startling. On the contrary, these experiences often made people feel more intimate with God, and more deeply loved.

But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.

What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may

gain Christ  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is

through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on

the basis of faith. I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his

death, and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

Philippians 3:7–11
