HEARING GOD’S VOICE:                                                

 Jeremiah 5:14  

    Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

            I know God talks to me in ways that I know are from only him.  My Father Rev. H. V. Hodge has heard the audible voice of God, he was in a basement apartment there were no windows and it was pitch dark, a big light came in the room it was the brightest light he had ever seen.  He heard the voice of god say, “If you will preach my word I will give you a people”.  For over sixty years he has been preaching the word of God.  He is an Apostle he was sent by God to start and establish five churches. He has worked with and help develop those called to the ministry and there is no way to know how many preachers have come up through his ministry.  He is an evangelistic type preacher that won many souls to Christ through repentance to baptism, he was a pastor that loved people “He would always say if you can’t love them you can’t win them”.  He gave everything he had for God’s work.  He is now 87 and Senior Pastor in the fifth church he founded, God is still giving him a people.

            God’s promise is faithful; He made a covenant with Rev. Hodge.  “You preach my word and I will give you a people” That covenant has never been broken.  God instilled in him to love people but most of all to love His Word         

Jeremiah 5:14

            Wherefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, because ye speak this word, behold, I will make my words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

            He had the fire of the Holy Ghost.
