This is an excerpt from Chapter 15 of my second book, The Reality of being a Believer, whether Jew or Gentile. My first book, Prayer, is available on Amazon.

When I came to the Lord, I knew nothing about God. I began to read the bible to see what God said and who He was. I knew that I wanted to speak to God and for Him to speak to me. God was a stranger, but I knew that He loved and cared for me. I read incessantly. I had a bible at home, one in my car and one on my desk at work. So, where ever I was I could read the word of God. I was a baby in Christ stumbling and fumbling around to be able to walk on the path God had for me. I read the King James English version. It is still my version of choice.

I read until I heard a voice speak to me. Usually the voice would quote a scripture in King James English. I became familiar with the voice because it would explain the scripture that was quoted. As I became familiar with that voice, my faith grew in the Lord. I knew that God was talking to me. Later on God began to speak to me in regular English. I asked Him why He spoke to me in King James English instead of regular English. God said it was because I had learned the scripture in King James English and that was what I was familiar with. In other words to trust His voice.

Crain Blanchard.
