BEGINNER LEVEL 1: Lesson 21 for Students

LESSON 21: HEARING GOD’S VOICE

THEME: Life Application

VOCABULARY: run, jumped, stopped, spoke, warning, corner, accidentally, homeless, different, street, for sale, open, closed, keys

STORY: There is a woman. Her name is Jen. She likes to run. One reason she likes to run is it gives her time to listen to the Lord. One day when she was running, she heard God say that He was going to give her and her family a building for the 911 Life Foundation. Jen was so excited! She was ready to go and find a building right away.  But God stopped her and said, “No, not yet. I’m just warning you.” A few days later while driving, God spoke to her again. God told Jen to turn right at the next corner because today she would find the building. Jen accidentally took a wrong turn. When she took the wrong turn, a homeless man jumped out into the street. He said, “You’re going the wrong way. Turn down that street!!!” And the homeless man pointed up a different street. Jen turned the car up that street and saw a big building that was for sale.  This all happened on a Sunday. Since it was Sunday, everything was closed. But in front of the building, there was a man standing with the house keys. He asked Jen, “Do you want to see this house?” Of course, Jen wanted to see the house after she had heard from God. The man showed Jen the house and she knew it was perfect. Jen was able to buy the house with the help of God.
