And one day as I prayed, I heard God say, Reggie, go to Green Bay. So that s what I did. I suppose White either saw something in the way the interviewer looked at him at that point, or maybe the reporter chuckled at this response. That s praying. If you believe in that sort of thing, it s okay.
Many people do have problems with that today.
And, to be fair about it, I have to admit that there is some justification for concern or skepticism. Far too many folks make false claims about hearing the voice of God. And in return, I will send you one of these beautiful, hand-sewn, anointed prayer rags. All kinds of people are making all kinds of claims about hearing the voice of God these days. Perhaps we hear those words today and our misery takes some comfort in knowing that it has company, that there have been other times in history when the word of the Lord was rare.
