Newspaper headlines over the past decades paint a dismal picture of the troubled world in which we live. Terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington DC, and Oklahoma City led the news. Earthquakes, war in the Middle East, suicide bombers, and the threat of biological warfare kept millions glued to CNN. SARS, smallpox, the Swine Flu, and AIDS were invisible enemies which the news media kept before the public eye. School massacres, child abuse, domestic violence, and drive-by shootings hit closer to home.
Most recently, millions have been troubled by the terrible oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico-the largest manmade environmental disaster in the world. Every day, in one form or another, Christians are faced with the same dilemma: How do we handle trouble in this life? In response, I'd like to address a common misconception about faith. There are a lot of folks who think that if you have faith in God, you won't have trouble. That would be wonderful if it were true. But it isn't true. You cannot use your faith in opposition to the Word of God.
What do I mean by that? Simply that in John 16:33 Jesus said, "...In the world, you will have tribulation..." (NKJV). Notice that He didn't say, “You might encounter trouble now and then.” He didn't say,
"Trouble will come, unless you use your faith."

God is speaking from Heaven! Now even though that may seem strange to some people, it's not a new thing. From the very beginning of time, God has communicated with His creation in many different ways. In the Garden of Eden, Adam heard the sound of God walking in the cool of the day. Moses heard the audible voice of God from a burning bush on Mount Sinai and from the mercy seat that was above the Ark of the Covenant. The disciples of Jesus heard the voice of God from a cloud saying, "...This is My beloved Son: hear Him" (Mark 9:7). But whether that heavenly sound came from a burning bush, a cloud, or the still, small voice that spoke to Elijah on Mt. Horeb, it had a similar effect. Sounds from Heaven transformed their life, imparted vision, and filled them with power to do what God called them to do.
In Acts chapter two, we can read about another sound from Heaven that exploded into the lives of the men and women that had gathered to pray in the Upper Room on the Day of Pentecost. Verses 2-4 say,"And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."
Not only was that physical house filled with sounds from Heaven, their spiritual house was filled with God Himself. When you come to God with your whole heart, you can expect to hear sounds from Heaven that will fill your house, set you on fire, and change your world.
